Answer:

Expressing a number in a power of 2 means that you have to figure out how many times you should multiply 2 by itself so the product will be that number.

The number is expressed as 2^n

For example:

Express 16 as a power of 2:

To get 16, you have to multiply 2 by 4 times.

2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16

16 = 2^4

Then the answer is 2^4

What is the volume of the composite figure shown? (Use 3.14 for π.)

Nimfa-mama [501]

$The\ volume\ of\ the\ cone:V_1=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 H\\(r-a\ radius;\ H-height)\\------------------\\r=7ft;\ H=7ft\\\\V_1=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot7^2\cdot7=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot343=\frac{343}{3}\pi\ (ft^2)\\-------------------\\The\ volume\ of\ the\ cylinder:V_2=\pi r^2 H\\(r-a\ radius;\ H-height)\\-------------------\\r=7ft;\ H=6ft\\\\V_2=\pi\cdot7^2\cdot6=294\pi\ (ft^3)\\------------------------\\The\ volume\ of\ the\ composite\ figure: V_F=V_1+V_2$

$V_F=\frac{343}{3}\pi+294\pi=\frac{343}{3}\pi+\frac{294\cdot3}{3}\pi=\frac{343}{3}\pi+\frac{882}{3}\pi=\boxed{\frac{1225}{3}\pi\ (ft^3)}\\\\\approx\frac{1225}{3}\cdot3.14}=\frac{3846.5}{3}\approx\boxed{1,282.17\ (ft^3)}\leftarrow answer$

What is the distance between (4,7) and (2,2)?

algol [13]

$\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 4}}\quad ,&{{ 7}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})
\end{array}\qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(2-4)^2+(2-7)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(-5)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{4+25}\implies d=\sqrt{29}$
