Why do whole numbers with an exponent get bigger while fractions with an exponent get smaller.

Mathematics

ohaa [14]3 years ago

Raising a whole number to a power means: 

             Take (a number of things) a number of times, and then possibly
             take that big number of things a number of times again.

Raising a fraction to an exponent means: 

             Take a piece of (a piece of one thing), and then possibly
              take just a piece of that smaller piece.

How do you complete this task?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx +b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

we just need to rewrite 3x+2y+18=0 to look like that

We need to get y by itself

3x+18= -2y

we need y to be positive and to have no number in front of it (no coeficcent)

y= -3/2x-9

the slope is therefore -3/2

I need help with this math problem!!
Vesnalui [34]
In order to find which one is or isn't, you need to solve for the value of 'x'. 
2x + 15 = 35 
2x = 20
x = 10 

Substitute x =10, into equation. If each side are not the same (i.e. 0=2), then that's the equation that is not equivalent,

Answer is B
Double check this. Chur! :)

Hope this makes sense.

I'll probably post alot of math, that's what I need to get 80% in today and I have like 50%
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. (6/a)x + 5 = 4

(6/a)x = -1

  6x = -a

x = -a/6

2. 2ax + 7 = 13

2ax = 6

ax = 3

x = 3/a

3. -ax - 20 = -14

-ax = 6

x = -6/a
