3^(-2) = 1/(3^2) = 1/(3*3) = 1/9
The rule used here is x^(-y) = 1/(x^y) to make the exponent positive.
3^2 turns into 3*3 because the exponent 2 tells us how many copies of the base '3' to multiply out.
Answer:
m∠Q = 61°
m∠S = 61°
m∠R = 58°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have an isosceles triangle, we know that ∠Q and ∠S are congruent.
Step 1: Definition of isosceles triangle
2x + 41 = 3x + 31
41 = x + 31
x = 10
Step 2: Find m∠Q
m∠Q = 2(10) + 41
m∠Q = 20 + 41
m∠Q = 61°
Step 3: Find m∠S
Since m∠Q = m∠S,
m∠S = 61°
Step 4: Find m∠R (Definition of a triangle)
Sum of angles in a triangle adds up to 180°
m∠R = 180 - (61 + 61)
m∠R = 180 - 122
m∠R = 58°
Answer:
No, because factorials are product of all positive integers less than or equal to a given positive integer.
The equation factors as
.. (x +3)(x +4) = 0
By the zero-product rule, the roots are
.. x1 = -4
.. x2 = -3
