Answer:

$\frac{25}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply exponent rule: $x^{-y}=\frac{1}{x^y}$

$(\frac{4}{5}) ^{-2}=\frac{1}{\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2}=\frac{1}{\frac{16}{25}}=\frac{25}{16}$

Consider that x=5 and y=7. Is the sum of x + y rational, irrational, or neither irrational nor rational!

nasty-shy [4]

The sum of y+x, or 5+7, is rational. This is because each integer(non fraction/decimal)is rational, it is also rational.

A right triangle has a perimeter of 24 cm and a hypotenuse of 10 cm. Find the length of the other two sides.

jekas [21]

Answer:

One of the sides is 6 cm and the other is 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the unknown sides a and b. From the perimeter information (24 cm) we have:

a + b + hypotenuse = 24

a + b + 10 = 24

a + b = 14

b = 14 - a

So now we can right the Pythagorean theorem as follows:

$a^2 + b^2 = hypotenuse^2\\a^2 + (14-a)^2=10^2\\a^2+ 14^2-28\,a+a^2=100\\2\,a^2-28\,a +96=0\\2\,(a^2-14\,a+48)=0\\2\,(a^2-6\,a-8\,a+48)=0\\2(a\,(a-6)-8\,(a-6))=0\\2\,(a-6)\,(a-8)=0$

and from this expression in factor form to be zero a must be 6 or a must be 8.

Therefore the solutions are a = 6 (and therefore b = 14 - 6 = 8)

or a = 8 (and therefore b = 14 - 8 = 6)

How do i solve 2x(n 3) ??

forsale [732]

<span>Simplifying 2x + n = 3

Reorder the terms: n + 2x = 3
Solving n + 2x = 3

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. n + 2x + -2x = 3 + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 n + 0 = 3 + -2x n = 3 + -2x

Simplifying n = 3 + -2x</span>
