Answer:

40:15 = 8:3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) Since there are 40 elephants and 15 baby elephants, the answer would be 40:15, but we want to simplify the ratio. In order to simplify the ratio, just divide each number by 5:

40 ÷ 5 = 8

15 ÷ 5 = 3

8:3

Therefore, the answer is 8:3.

Hope this helps! :D

Sauron [17]

Apply the radical rule to separate terms:

Cubicroot(-27) and cubic root(n^27)

Cubicroot(-27) = -3

Now you have -3 cubicroot(n^27)

Using the exponent rule

N^27 can be rewritten as (n^9)^3

Now you have -3 cubicroot((n^9)^3)

The cubic root and the 3rd power cancel out to get the final answer of

-3n^9

A standard letter-sized piece of paper has a length and width of 8.5 inches by 11 inches.

Answer:

Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²

Step-by-step explanation:

After 1 fold width or length reduces to half.

Area = Length x width

So after 1 fold area will reduce to half.

So we have

$\texttt{Area after n folds =}\frac{\texttt{Initial area}}{2^{\texttt{number of folds}}}$

Initial area = 8.5 x 11 = 93.5 inch²

Here the paper were folded completely in half, length is reduced to half and width reduced to half, that is

Number of folds = 2

$\texttt{Area after 2 folds =}\frac{\texttt{Initial area}}{2^{2}}\\\\\texttt{Area after 2 folds =}\frac{93.5}{4}=23.375inch^2$

Area after 2 folds = 23.375 inch²

Area of the resulting rectangle = 23.375 inch²

F(x) = 5x^3+ 2x^2 - 90x - 36. <br><br> finding all zeros by factoring and explaining the steps

ella [17]

Answer:

f(x)=5x^3-2x^2-90x-36=0

=x^2(5x-2)-18(5x-2)=(x^2-18)(5x-2)=0

x^2-18=0/5x-2=0

x^2=18=x=9√2

5x-2=0

x=2/5

zeros are 9√2,2/5
