<span>(1,625) No
(0,-25) No
(-1,-1) No
Think about what an integer exponent means for an negative base and you'll understand this problem. For instance the powers of -25 would be
-25^1 = -25
-25^2 = (-25) * (-25) = 625
-25^3 = (-25)*(-25)*(-25) = -15625
and so on, giving 390625, -9765625, 244140625, etc.
But that's a different subject. For the ordered pairs given, let's check them out.
(1,625)
-25^1 + 1 = -25 + 1 = -24. And -24 is not equal to 625, so "No".
(0,-25)
-25^0 + 1 = 1 +1 = 2.
Note: Any real number other than 0 raised to the 0th power is 1. And 2 is not equal to -25, so "No".
(-1,-1)
-25^(-1) + 1 = 1/(-25^1) + 1 = 1/-25 + 1 = 24/25.
And 24/25 is not equal to -1, so also "No".</span>
Elio is right in assuming the relationship between the height and the hours it burns is proportional.
Find the unit rate
14 ÷ 8 = 1.75 cm/h
Divide
21 ÷ 1.75 = 12
You can set this up as an algebraic equation to check the answer.
If the candle is 21 cm tall, it will burn for 12 hours.
Hope this helped you! :)
Answer:
600:450:450
Step-by-step explanation:
8+6+6= 20
1500/20=75
8*75= 600
6*75= 450
6*75=450
Check:
600/75= 8
450/75= 6
450/75=6
The correct answer is B=4
