Which of the following is equivalent to (16 3/2)^1/2 ? O 6 O 8 O 12 O 64

Galina-37 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

$= { ({16}^{ \frac{3}{2} } )}^{ \frac{1}{2} }$

$= { ({( {2}^{4}) }^{ \frac{3}{2} } )}^{ \frac{1}{2} }$

$= {2}^{4 \times \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} }$

$= {2}^{ \frac{12}{4} }$

$= {2}^{3}$

$= 2 \times 2 \times 2$

$= 8$

The answer is B.

1. What is an equation of the line through (3, 12) with slope = 3?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use point slope form

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

where m is the slope and ( x1,y1) is a point on the line

y-12 = 3(x-12)

If we want it in slope intercept form

Distribute

y-12 = 3x-36

Add 12 to each side

y-12+12 = 3x-36+12

y = 3x-24
