Answer:

The amount of wire left is 4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, the wire is (7x - 3) meters long.

A length of (3x - 4) meters is cut.

How much wire is left?

Initial amount subtracted by the amount that is cut. So

(7x - 3) - (3x - 4) = 7x - 3 - 3x + 4

We combine the like terms

7x - 3x - 3 + 4 = 4x + 1

The amount of wire left is 4x + 1

Use the properties of exponents to determine the value of aa for the equation:

Phantasy [73]

Answer: a = -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by multiplying both sides by $x$ to simplify:

$4^{1/3} = x^a \times x$

$4^{1/3} = \underbrace{x \times x \times x \times \cdots \times x}_{a\ \textrm{times}} \times \,x$

$4^{1/3} = \underbrace{x \times x \times x \times \cdots \times x \times x}_{a+1\ \textrm{times}}$

$4^{1/3} = x^{a+1}$

Looking only at the exponents, it seems like $1/3 = a+1$ , so $a = \boxed{-2/3}$ .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x^2+5x+1=0

Descr= b^2-4ac

Descr= 25-24=1

X1= (-b+√descr)/2a = (-5+1)/12= -1/3

X2= (-b-√descr)/2a = (-5-1)/12= -1/2
