Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

WHen we raise a power to a power, we multiply them, in this case 5 is the base so we can just ignore it for now and replace it with x.

(X^1/3)^3

Multiply 1/3 by 3 and we get 1

So:

X^1

Which does nothing, so we can simplify to just:\

Remember x is 5 so the answer is:

A candle is 9 inches long. Ronnie lights the candle and records the height of the candle, y inches, for x hours.

In the future, please post the full problem with all included instructions. After doing a quick internet search, I found your problem listed somewhere else. It mentions two parts (a) and (b)

Part (a) asked for the equation of the line in y = mx+b form

That would be y = -2x+9

This is because each time y goes down by 2, x goes up by 1. We have slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2. This indicates that the height of the candle decreases by 2 inches per hour. The slope represents the rate of change.

The initial height of the candle is the y intercept b value. So we have m = -2 and b = 9 lead us from y = mx+b to y = -2x+9

----------------------------------------------------------------

Part (b) then asks you to graph the equation. Because this is a linear equation, it produces a straight line. We only need 2 points at minimum to graph any line. Let's plot (0,9) and (1,7) on the same xy grid. These two points are the first two rows of the table. Plot those two points and draw a straight line through them. The graph is below

An arithmetic sequence with a thrid term of 8 and constant difference of 5

olga nikolaevna [1]

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
d=5\\
a_3=8\\
n=3
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_3=a_1+(3-1)5\implies 8=a_1+(2)5\implies 8=a_1+10
\\\\\\
\boxed{-2=a_1}
\\\\\\
a_n=-2+(n-1)5$
