Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

It's a matter of being consistent in a pattern:

Let a be a number.  If a^(-3) is the first number, it's equal to 1 / a^3.

Next:

1 / a^2

1 / a^1

??                To fit into this pattern, a^0 must equal 1.

a^1

a^2

a^3

and so on.

Try this same exercise with a = 2:

2^(-2) = 1/4

2^(-1) = 1/2

??       This number has to be 1 to fit the pattern.  2^0 = 1.  Note that each

           term is 2x the previous term:  2(1/4) = 1/2; 2(1/2) = 1; 2(1) = 2; 2(2) = 4,

           and so on.  Again, 2^0 must = 1 to fit into this sequence.

2^1 = 2  


2^2 = 4

Help me with question 21 to get brainliest
Andrej [43]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can call the original value x. In 2012, the painting's value was 1.05 x. In the beginning of 2013, the value was (1.05 x) * 0.98, and that increased to (1.05x) * 0.98 * 1.40 at the end of 2013. When we simplify, we get 1.4406 x as a value, and we know that this is equal to $52,640. We can write 1.4406x = 52640, and when we solve for x, we get x ≈ $36415.38. Hope this helps!

1.) What is the measure of ∠K, to the nearest degree?
lora16 [44]
We know that
the law of sines establish
a/sin A=b/sin B

problem N 1

50/sin K=53/sin 76-------> 50*sin 76=53*sin K-----> sin K=50*sin 76/53
sin K=0.9154
K=arc sin (0.9154)--------> K=66.25°------> K=66°

the answer problem N 1 is the option
<span>c.) 66°
</span>
Problem N 2

30/sin R=35/sin 69------> sin R=30*sin 69/35-----> sin R=0.8002
R=arc sin(0.8002)-------> R=53.15°-----> R=53°

the answer problem N 2 is the option
<span>b.) 53°</span>
