Answer:
The conjecture cannot work for any negative numbers, It works for x > 1.3.
Step-by-step explanation:
An odd power preserves the sign. For |x| > 1, the power increases the magnitude. For x < 0, adding -2 only increases the magnitude more. A negative number of larger magnitude will not be "greater than" the reference. It will be "less than."
It only takes a counterexample to show the conjecture is incorrect.
x^5 -2 ?? x
(-2)^5 -2 ?? (-2)
-32 -2 ?? -2
-34 < -2 . . . . . . not greater than
X= 1

Answer:
8.03 or 8.035714 and some other numbers that i cant bother to write out. also as a fraction it would be 803/100
Answer:
It would take 10 weeks for her cat to lose 5 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe that would be -4.50 for problems like this you subtract then add the negative sign in front
i'm surprised you are in high school i did this in 6th grade
