Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the expression.

Rewrite 64 as 8^2

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, (am^)n = a^mn

8^2(1/2)

Cancel the common factor of 2

Rewrite the expression.

8^1

Evaluate the exponent.

Hope that helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When a quantity is raised to a fractional power, you need to root it to the power of the denominator.

For example, (-64)^(1/2) = √(-64) 

Since you are taking the root of a negative, you will need to put an i (imaginary) in your answer.

Find the exact length of the curve. x=et+e−t, y=5−2t, 0≤t≤2 For a curve given by parametric equations x=f(t) and y=g(t), arc len

Rama09 [41]

The length of a curve C parameterized by a vector function r(t) = x(t) i + y(t) j over an interval a ≤ t ≤ b is

$\displaystyle\int_C\mathrm ds = \int_a^b \sqrt{\left(\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\right)^2} \,\mathrm dt$

In this case, we have

x(t) = exp(t ) + exp(-t ) ==> dx/dt = exp(t ) - exp(-t )

y(t) = 5 - 2t ==> dy/dt = -2

and [a, b] = [0, 2]. The length of the curve is then

$\displaystyle\int_0^2 \sqrt{\left(e^t-e^{-t}\right)^2+(-2)^2} \,\mathrm dt = \int_0^2 \sqrt{e^{2t}-2+e^{-2t}+4}\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2 \sqrt{e^{2t}+2+e^{-2t}} \,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\sqrt{\left(e^t+e^{-t}\right)^2} \,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\left(e^t+e^{-t}\right)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\left(e^t-e^{-t}\right)\bigg|_0^2 = \left(e^2-e^{-2}\right)-\left(e^0-e^{-0}\right) = \boxed{e^2-\frac1{e^2}}$

F(x) = -x² – 10x + 16 Find f(-7)

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

or, f(x) = -x^2+10x+16

or, f(7) = (-7)^2+10*-7+16 (-7*-7=49)

=49-70+16

=65-70

=-5
