Answer:
your answer will be B.-21
Step-by-step explanation:
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,

.
2)
Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example,

.
3) The
zero exponent rule<span> says that any number
raised to zero is 1. For example,

.
</span>
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

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter a:

<span>
2) x = 2</span>Plug this into

to find letter b:

<span>
3) x = 4</span>Plug this into

to find letter c:

<span>
Problem 2
</span>The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter d:

<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into

to find letter e:

<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into

to find letter f:

Answer:
300 necklaces
Step-by-step explanation:
8,400 divided by 28 equals 300
<span>tan(15) =
sin(15) / cos(15) =
sin(45 - 30) / cos(45 - 30) =
[ sin(45)cos(30) - sin(30)cos(45) ] / [ cos(45)cos(30) + sin(45)sin(30)]
Since sin(45) = cos(45) = √2/2, you can just factor that out from the top and bottom
[ cos(30) - sin(30) ] / [ cos(30) + sin(30)]
[ √3/2 - 1/2 ] / [ √3/2 + 1/2]
(√3 - 1) / (√3 + 1)
(√3 - 1)^2 / (√3+1)(√3 - 1)
(√3 - 1)^2 / (3 - 1)
(3 - 2√3 +1) / 2
2 - √3
There's also a formula for tan(a-b), but I couldn't remember it off hand.</span>
Answer:
4 Chickens, 3 Oxen
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Known:
- Chickens have 2 legs
- Oxens have 4 legs
Solution:
- 4 Chickens have a total of 8 legs (2 + 2 + 2 + 2)
- 3 Oxen have a total of 12 legs (4 + 4 + 4)
- There are a total of 20 legs in total between the chickens and oxens.
