If you have a quarter of a pie and cut it in half, what fraction of a pie would each slice represent?

1 answer:

7 0

1/8; say you have one whole pie, cut into fourths, than take one fourth, or one quarter, and cut that in half, it's the same as if you cut the whole pie in half than cut those halfs in half, making quaters, than cutting them in half, making a pie thats cut in eights, each slice is 1/8, one eight

What does g(n) equal

NikAS [45]

We are given the function:
g(n) = $3 (\frac{7}{5} )^n$

We need to find what g(-3) equals.

What the question is asking is what is the resulting value after you plug in -3 as n to the function. Meaning you replace the n that is in the function with -3.

g(-3) = $3( \frac{7}{5})^{-3}$

Remember back to the order of operations.

Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

For this problem we can keep the fraction as it is (unless you are permitted to use a calculator... if that is the case then just plug all that into a calculator) and keep going to the exponent.

Negative exponents make fractions FLIP. So our fraction will look like this: $(\frac{7}{5})^{-3} = (\frac{5}{7})^{3}$

Now that we have it without the negative exponent we need to distribute the cubed power to each number in the fraction (which is essentially the same as saying this: $\frac{5}{7}* \frac{5}{7}* \frac{5}{7}$ )

$\frac{5^{3}}{7^{3}} = \frac{125}{343}$

We ARE NOT done! We still have this left:
g(-3) = $3 \frac{125}{343}$
Multiplying by 3 you get the following:

$\frac{375}{343}$

So what does g(-3) equal? This right here:

$\frac{375}{343}$

How can I simplify 1/2 + 2/3. Do I add,then divide.

IRISSAK [1]

You can converte them to a common denominator like 6. 1/2 would be 3/6. 2/3 would be 4/6.
