You have that situation with ANY base that's less than ' 1 '.
Examples:
(0.9)² = 0.81 (90% of the base)
(7/8)² = 0.765625 (87.5% of the base)
(1/2)² = 1/4 (50% of the base)
(0.1)² = 0.01 (10% of the base)
Each of these results is less than the base, and with
higher positive powers, they keep getting smaller.
Answer:
slope = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Rearrange eqn into slope intercept form
slope intercept form: y = mx + b
where...
m = the slope
b = the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y axis)
3x + y = 12
y = -3x+12
2) Know parallel rule. A line that runs parallel has the same slope but a different y-intercept
So the slope is: -3
Answer:
The number of pages that Polina read was 90 and the number of pages that Marcus read was 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> number of pages that Polina read
y ----> number of pages that Marcus read
we know that
x+y=108 ----> equation A
x=5y -----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

Find the value of x

therefore
The number of pages that Polina read was 90 and the number of pages that Marcus read was 18
Anything which have their degree as 0 is always equal to 1
=> 5^0=1
Option 3 is the answer..!!
Hope this helps you!!
Good Luck!
