Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The negative power property of exponents says that:

$x^{-n}=\frac{1}{x^n}$

And vice versa:

$\frac{1}{x^{-n}}=x^n$

Therefore, since our exponent is negative, we can change it to positive if we put it in the numerator. In other words:

$\frac{1}{3^{-4}}=3^4$

The statement is true.

We know that the sum of the inner angles of any triangle is 180º

72º + (7x + 3)º + (3x + 5)º = 180º
72º + 7xº + 3º + 3xº + 5º = 180
7xº + 3xº = 180º - 72º - 3º - 5º
10xº = 100º
$x^0 = \frac{100^0}{10^0}$
$x^0 = 10\to\:\boxed{\boxed{x = 10^0}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

The sum of the external angle (9y + 1)º with inner angle (3x + 5) = 180 °, <span>Replace the measure of "x" found:
</span>
(9y + 1)º + (3x + 5)º = 180º
9yº + 1º + 3xº + 5º = 180º
9yº + 1º + 3.(10)º + 5º = 180º
9yº + 1º + 30º + 5º = 180º
9yº = 180º - 1º - 30º - 5º
9yº = 144º
$y^0 = \frac{144^0}{9^0}$
$y^0 = 16\to\:\boxed{\boxed{y = 16^0}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Answer:
<span>The measures of "x" and "y" are respectively: 10º and 16º</span>

In a group of eighteen people, each person shakes hands once with each other person in the group. How many handshakes will occur

miv72 [106K]

The number of handshakes that will occur in a group of eighteen people if each person shakes hands once with each other person in the group is 153 handshakes

In order to determine the number of handshakes that will occur among 18 people, that is, the number of ways we can choose 2 persons from 18 people.

∴ The number of handshakes = $^{18}C_{2}$
