^ means to the power of or exponent
logb(x) = y is b^y = x
Answer: 81
Step-by-step explanation: Because, (-3)^4=-3*-3*-3*-3=-(-81)=81
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
12/5
Discussion:
Note that 10 is a common denominator of both denominators:
9/5 = (9*2)/(5*2) = 18/10
- ( -6/10) = + (6/10)
So the original problem is equivalent to
18/10 + 6/10 =
(18 +6)/10 =
24/10 =
(2*12)/ (2*5) => cancelling the common factor "2"
12/5 =
2 and 2 fifths =
22/5 (though this looks like (22)/5!)
Thank you,
MrB
Yes. Changing the the word problem into a function, you get 30x=y.
30 = Fixed Length
x = width
y = area
No matter what width (x) you choose, the area (y) is going to be a multiple of 30 (the fixed length) because with two numbers being multiplied, if there is a fixed number that will always be the multiple and not the multiplier. For example, 10 multiplied by every number 1-10 is going to be a multiple of 10.
10x1=10, 10x2=20, 10x3=30, etc
So if Tom chooses any of these widths (x) 5, 10, or 15, y (the area) will be a multiple of 30.
30(5)=150
30(10)=300
30(15)=450
So as we double 5 to get 10, our outcome is doubled 150 to 300 and so forth. Hope this helps.
$2.14 per pound is the answer I found. Hope that helps.
