Answer:

87 men

145 women

Step-by-step explanation:

8 to 5

8x+5x=234

8x=234

x=234/8

x=~29

3*29=87 men

5*29=145 women

Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of men to women working for a company is 8 to 5.

Total men and women working as per the ratio is 8+5 = 13

So the ratio of men to total  is  

the ratio of women to total  is  

there are 234 employees total

To find the number of men works , we make a proportion

Cross multiply it

8 * 234 = 13x

1872 = 13x

Divide by 13 on both sides

x= 144

What is the distance between the points (-12, 11) and (-18, 17), to the<br> nearest tenth? *
Basile [38]

Answer:

8.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points is given by

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2}+(y_2-y_1)^{2}}

Taking points (-12, 11) and (-18, 17) as the first and second points respectively then

d=\sqrt{(-18--12)^{2}+(17-11)^{2}}

d=\sqrt {36+36}

d=8.48528137423857 units

Rounded off to nearest tenths

d=8.5 units

Complete the table of values
Agata [3.3K]
Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify! 

You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1) The negative exponent rule says that when a base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example, 3^{-2} =&#10;\frac{1}{3^{2} }.
2) Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example, (\frac{3}{4}) ^{3}  =  \frac{ 3^{3} }{4^{3} }.
3) The zero exponent rule<span> says that any number raised to zero is 1. For example, 3^{0} = 1.
</span>

Back to the Problem:
Problem 1 
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is y =  4^{-x}. The x-values are:
<span>1) x = 0
</span>Plug this into y = 4^{-x} to find letter a:
y = 4^{-x}\\&#10;y = 4^{-0}\\&#10;y = 4^{0}\\&#10;y = 1
<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into y = 4^{-x} to find letter b:
y = 4^{-x}\\ &#10;y = 4^{-2}\\ &#10;y =  \frac{1}{4^{2}} \\  &#10;y= \frac{1}{16}
<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into y = 4^{-x} to find letter c:
y = 4^{-x}\\ &#10;y = 4^{-4}\\ &#10;y =  \frac{1}{4^{4}} \\  &#10;y= \frac{1}{256}
<span>

Problem 2
</span>The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is y =  (\frac{2}{3})^x. The x-values are:
<span>1) x = 0
</span>Plug this into y = (\frac{2}{3})^x to find letter d:
y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\&#10;y = (\frac{2}{3})^0\\&#10;y = 1
<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into y = (\frac{2}{3})^x to find letter e:
y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^2\\ y = \frac{2^2}{3^2}\\&#10;y =  \frac{4}{9}
<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into y = (\frac{2}{3})^x to find letter f:
y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^4\\ y = \frac{2^4}{3^4}\\ y = \frac{16}{81}
<span>
-------

Answers: 
a = 1
b = </span>\frac{1}{16}<span>
c = </span>\frac{1}{256}
d = 1
e = \frac{4}{9}
f = \frac{16}{81}
