Please help me with this problem Evaluate (-½·3)³

-Dominant- [34]

Answer: -27/8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(-a\right)^n=-a^n,\:\quad \mathrm{if\:}n\mathrm{\:is\:odd}$

$\left(-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3$

$=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(a\cdot \:b\right)^n=a^nb^n$

$\left(\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:3\right)^3=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\cdot \:3^3$

$=-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3\cdot \:3^3$

$=-\frac{1}{8}\cdot \:3^3$

$=-\frac{1}{8}\cdot \:27$

$=-\frac{27}{8}$

What are the postulates for congruent triangles

Delvig [45]

Hi there!

There are 5 ways to find if two triangles are congruent :

SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS & HL

1. SSS (Side, Side, Side)

Means that we have two triangles with 3 sides equal.

⇒ If 3 sides of one triangle are equal to 3 sides of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

2. SAS (Side, Angle, Side)

Means that we have two triangles where we know 2 sides and the included angle are equal.

⇒ If 2 sides and the includent angle of one triangle are equal to the corresponding sides and angle of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

3. ASA (Angle, Side, Angle)

Means that we have two triangles where we know 2 angles and the included side are equal.

⇒ If 2 angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to the corresponding angles and side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

4. AAS (Angle, Angle, Side)

Means thant we have two triangles where we know 2 angles and the non-included side are equal.

⇒ If 2 angles and the non-included side of one triangle are equal to the coresponding angles and side of another triangle, the triangles are congruent.

5. HL (Hypotenuse, leg)

** This one only applies to right-angled triangles.**

Hypotenuse: The longest side of a right-angled triangle.

Legs: The other 2 sides of the right-angled triangle.

Means we have two right-angled triangles with the same length of hypotenuse and the same length for one of the other 2 legs (it doesn't matter which leg since the triangles could be rotated).

⇒ If the hypotenuse and one leg of one right-angled triangles are equal to the corresponding hypotenuse and leg of another right-angled triangles, the two triangles are congruent.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

A population of 240 birds increases at a rate of 16% annually. Jemel writes an exponential function of the form f(x) = abx to re

d1i1m1o1n [39]

An exponential function is :
f ( x ) = a * b^x,
where x is the number of the years.
a = 240 ( number of the birds at start )
16 % = 0.16
b = 1 + 0.16 = 1.16
f ( x ) = 240 * 1.16^x
Answer:
a = 240, b = 1.16

In the figure above lines L and M are parallel, y = 20 and Z= 60, What is the value of X equal to?

Bezzdna [24]

Y is same as the missing angle, the triangle need to equal to 180 so if you add 20 to 60 it equal to 80
use 180 to subtract to 80 you will get the missing x, x=80
