Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-3*j = -3j

(-3)(-1) = 3

Answer

-3j + 3 Notice the sign change. Be careful about that when signs are used with the distributive property.

HELP ME ON THIS PLSS Kathy swims at least 6 laps everyday. Write an inequality to show how long Kathy swims each day.

mina [271]

Answer:

x ≥ 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Kathy swims at least 6 laps every day.

To find: Write an inequality to show how long Kathy swims each day.

Solution : We have given that Kathy swims at least 6 laps every day.

We can see from given statement Kathy can swim 6 laps or greater then 6 laps in a day.

Then we use greater than or equal to sign ( for at least)

Since x ≥ 6.

Therefore, x ≥ 6.

Complete the table of values

Agata [3.3K]

Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!

You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1) The negative exponent rule says that when a base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example, $3^{-2} =
\frac{1}{3^{2} }$ .
2) Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example, $(\frac{3}{4}) ^{3} = \frac{ 3^{3} }{4^{3} }$ .
3) The zero exponent rule says that any number raised to zero is 1. For example, $3^{0} = 1$ .


Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is $y = 4^{-x}$ . The x-values are:
1) x = 0
Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter a:
$y = 4^{-x}\\
y = 4^{-0}\\
y = 4^{0}\\
y = 1$

2) x = 2
Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter b:
$y = 4^{-x}\\ 
y = 4^{-2}\\ 
y = \frac{1}{4^{2}} \\ 
y= \frac{1}{16}$

3) x = 4
Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter c:
$y = 4^{-x}\\ 
y = 4^{-4}\\ 
y = \frac{1}{4^{4}} \\ 
y= \frac{1}{256}$


Problem 2
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ . The x-values are:
1) x = 0
Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter d:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\
y = (\frac{2}{3})^0\\
y = 1$

2) x = 2
Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter e:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^2\\ y = \frac{2^2}{3^2}\\
y = \frac{4}{9}$

3) x = 4
Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter f:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^4\\ y = \frac{2^4}{3^4}\\ y = \frac{16}{81}$

-------

Answers:
a = 1
b = $\frac{1}{16}$ 
c = $\frac{1}{256}$
d = 1
e = $\frac{4}{9}$
f = $\frac{16}{81}$

The total cost to go horseback riding is x dollars per hour plus a $3 fee for renting a helmet. Write an expression to represent

solniwko [45]

The answer is 15x + 15

Each person needs to pay x dollars per hour, and also 3 dollars for a helmet

Let us convert this into a pseudo-expression:

1 person = (x dollars) x (y hours) + 3 dollars

Now, it says that there are 5 people, so we need to multiply both sides by 5

5 people = 5 x (x dollars) x (yhours) + 3 x 5 dollars

Furthermore, it says that each person wants to go horseback riding for 3 hours:

5 people = 5(x dollars) x (3 hours) + 15 dollars

Now, we just need to convert this into an expression

5 people = 5(x)(3) + 15

5 people = 15x+15

They want the expression for cost, so we just need to give them

15x + 15
