Write a power represented with a positive base and a positive exponent whose value is less than the base

1 answer:

6 0

You have that situation with ANY base that's less than ' 1 '.

Examples:

(0.9)² = 0.81 (90% of the base)

(7/8)² = 0.765625 (87.5% of the base)

(1/2)² = 1/4 (50% of the base)

(0.1)² = 0.01 (10% of the base)

Each of these results is less than the base, and with
higher positive powers, they keep getting smaller.

HELP ASAPJennifer and Chris completed some chores and split the earnings in the ratio 3:2. Jennifer earned $48.

elixir [45]

Let the total earnings be = x

Jennifer and Chris split the earnings in the ratio 3:2

Jennifer earned = $48

$\frac{3x}{5}=48$

$3x=240$

x=80

Hence total earnings are $80

(a) Chris earning is = $\frac{2x}{5}=\frac{2*80}{5}=32$

Hence, Chris earns $32

(b) Jennifer spends 30% of her earnings on a book.

So, price of the book = $\frac{30}{100}\times48$

Price of book = $14.40

(c) Jennifer also buys a magazine for = $5.40

So, total money Jennifer spent on book and magazine = 14.40+5.40=19.80

Money left with Jennifer = 48-19.80= $28.20

In fractions = $\frac{28.20}{48}$

or multiplying the numerator and denominator by 10, we get

$\frac{282}{480}$ = $\frac{47}{80}$

(d) Let the original price of the shirt = x

reduction percentage on x= 40%

Price paid after reduction = 16.80

$\frac{40x}{100}=16.80$

$40x=1680$

$x=42$

Hence, the original price of the shirt was $42.

What is the value of c in the equation x^15/x^c =x^6

Galina-37 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ {x}^{15} }{ {x}^{c} } = { x}^{6} \\ {x}^{15 - c} = {x}^{6}$

15 - c = 6

15 - 6 = c

9 = c

c = 9

How many solutions does the following system of equations have?

sleet_krkn [62]

There is only solutions to the systems of equations - y = x -2 & y = -x + 2. We can find this by looking at the slopes of each line, which is 1 and -1. They are not negative reciprocals or the same exact slope, which would give the system of equations no solutions. Since the lines are not exactly the same, the system does not have infinitely many solutions. A system of LINEAR equations cannot have two solutions, giving us an answer of only one solution. Hope this helps!
