Answer:

A total of 78,497 pounds of cargo was removed from the plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

I got my answer by subtracting 437,981 from 500,000 to get 62,019. After, I added the additional 16,478 pounds that were taken off after to get my total of 78,497. My answer is reasonable because after double-checking with my calculator, I noticed I did not make any mistakes and my answer checked out, therefore validifying my answer. Hope this helps and have a good rest of your day/ night :)

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{negative exponents} \\\\ a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n} \qquad \qquad \cfrac{1}{a^n}\implies a^{-n} \qquad \qquad a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}} \\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ 8^{-2}\cdot \cfrac{3^0-8^{-3}}{4^{-5}}\implies 8^{-2}\cdot \cfrac{1-\frac{1}{8^3}}{\frac{1}{4^5}}\implies 8^{-2}\cdot \cfrac{1-\frac{1}{(2^3)^3}}{\frac{1}{(2^2)^5}}$

$\bf 8^{-2}\cdot \cfrac{\quad \frac{512-1}{2^9}\quad }{\frac{1}{2^{10}}}\implies (2^3)^{-2}\cdot \cfrac{\quad \frac{511}{2^9}\quad }{\frac{1}{2^{10}}}\implies 2^{-6}\cdot \cfrac{511}{2^9}\cdot \cfrac{2^{10}}{1} \\\\\\ 2^{-6}\cdot \cfrac{511\cdot 2^{10}}{2^9}\implies 2^{-6}\cdot 511\cdot 2^{10}\cdot 2^{-9}\implies 2^{-6}\cdot 511\cdot 2^{10-9} \\\\\\ 2^{-6}\cdot 511\cdot 2\implies 511\cdot 2^{-6}\cdot 2\implies 511\cdot 2^{-6+1}\implies 511\cdot 2^{-5} \\\\\\ 511\cdot \cfrac{1}{2^5}\implies \cfrac{511}{32}$

Explain wether the graph represents a function.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The vertical line test can be used to determine whether a graph represents a function. ... If we can draw any vertical line that intersects a graph more than once, then the graph does not define a function because that x value has more than one output. A function has only one output value for each input value.

Why is -7 an integer but not a natural number?

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Natural Numbers are basically "counting numbers". If I ask you to start counting, you'll start at 1, then 2, then 3, and so on. It doesn't include 0 or any negative numbers because you wouldn't start from -10 when asked to count.
