What is a true statement about negative exponents?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that you wanted to know what x^{-2} is.

To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So x^{-2} becomes \frac{1}{x^{2}}.

This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So a^{3} would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase a^{3} to a^{5}, you would have to multiply a with a^{3} two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease a^{5} to a^{2}, you would have to divide a^{5} by a 3 times.

If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: \frac{1}{a^{3}} means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.

Hope this helps.

The polar coordinates of a point are 3π 4 and 7.00 m. What are its Cartesian coordinates (in m)? (x, y) = 6.06,−3.5 m
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

a) \left(x,y\right)=\left(4.95,-4.95\right)

b) r\angle\theta = 7\angle0.5236\,\text{radians}

Step-by-step explanation:

Polar coordinates are represented as: r\angle\theta, where 'r' is the length (or magnitude) of the line, and '\theta' is the angle measured from the positive x-axis.

in our case:

7\angle\dfrac{3\pi}{4}

to covert the polar to cartesian:

x = r\cos{\theta}

y = r\sin{\theta}

we can plug in our values:

x = 7\cos{\dfrac{3\pi}{4}} = -7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

y = 7\sin{\dfrac{3\pi}{4}} = 7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

the Cartesian coordinates are:

\left(x,y\right)=\left(-7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2},7\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)

\left(x,y\right)=\left(4.95,-4.95\right)

(b) to convert (x,y) = (6.06,-3.5)

we'll use the pythagoras theorem to find 'r'

r^2 = x^2+y^2

r^2 = (6.06)^2+(-3.5)^2

r = \sqrt{48.97} \approx 7

the angle can be found by:

\tan{\theta} = \dfrac{y}{x}

\tan{\theta} = \dfrac{3.5}{6.06}

\theta = \arctan{left(\dfrac{3.5}{6.06}\right)}

\theta = 0.5236 \text{radians}

to convert radians to degrees:

\theta = 0.5236 \times \dfrac{180}{\pi} \approx 30^\circ

writing in polar coordinates:

r\angle\theta = 7\angle30^\circ\,\,\text{OR}\,\,7\angle0.5236\,\text{radians}

A right angle has an area of 13m*2. The dimensions of the triangle are increased by a scale factor of 3. What is the area of the
Alex_Xolod [135]

The answer is: 117m²

The explanation is shown below:

1. You have the following information given in the problem:

- The triangle has an area of 13 m².

- The dimensions of the triangle are increased by a scale factor of 3.

2. Therefore, to solve the exercise you must multiply the area by 3^{2}=9, as following:

A=(13m^{2})(9)\\A=117m^{2}

( The question is on the attachment )
valentina_108 [34]

We can use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

From the graph, we see the line crosses the y-axis at y = 15. That means the y-intercept is 15, and we have so far y = mx + 15.

Now we need the slope. On the graph we see that for every 3 units up in y, there is 1 unit to the right in x. The slope is 3/1 = 3. m = 3. Now we add the slope to the equation.

y = 3x + 15

Answer: y = 3x + 15
