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

1 answer:

8 0

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.

If r=10 and s=31, find R. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

C. R = 17.9 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a rectangle triangle with the adjacent side and the opposite side (neither of which are the hypotenuse).

The relation between those elements is the tangent:

$tan(angle) = \frac{Opposite side}{Adjacent side}$

So, to isolate the angle, we modify the formula as such:

$angle = arctan(\frac{Opposite side}{Adjacent side}) = arctan(\frac{10}{31}) = arctan(0.3225) = 17.87$

If we round 17.87 degrees to the tenth... we get 17.9 degrees.

Which of the graphs best represents a system of equations that has no solution?

Lesechka [4]

When the lines are parallel then there is no solution to the system of equations.
This happens because the intersection is the solution. And when there is no intersection then there is no solution.
