Which expressions have a value of 16/81? Check all that apply.

lana [24]

Which expression have a value of 16/81? check all that apply. (2/3)^4, (16/3)^4, (4/81)^2, and (4/9)^2

Answer:

First and last option is correct.

$(\frac{2}{3})^{4}=\frac{16}{81}$

$(\frac{4}{9})^{2}=\frac{16}{81}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are four options.

(2/3)^4, (16/3)^4, (4/81)^2, and (4/9)^2

We need to check all given options for value of 16/81.

Solution:

Using rule.

$(\frac{a}{b})^{n}=\frac{a^{n}}{b^{n}}$

Solve for option $(\frac{2}{3})^4$ .

$(\frac{2}{3})^{4}=\frac{2^4}{3^4}=\frac{2\times 2\times 2\times 2}{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}=\frac{16}{81}$

Solve for option $(\frac{16}{3})^4$ .

$(\frac{16}{3})^{4}=\frac{16^4}{3^4}=\frac{16\times 16\times 16\times 16}{3\times 3\times 3\times 3}=\frac{65536}{81}$

Solve for option $(\frac{4}{81})^2$ .

$(\frac{4}{81})^{2}=\frac{4^2}{81^2}=\frac{4\times 4}{81\times 81}=\frac{16}{6561}$

Solve for option $(\frac{4}{9})^2$ .

$(\frac{4}{9})^{2}=\frac{4^2}{9^2}=\frac{4\times 4}{9\times 9}=\frac{16}{81}$

Therefore, expression $(\frac{2}{3})^4$ and $(\frac{4}{9})^2$ have a value of $\frac{16}{81}$ .

Need step by step detailed answer

kolezko [41]

Answer:

y = -4x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have two lines in slope intercept form as

$y = m_1x + c_1 \text{ and}\\y = m_2x + c_2\\$

then the product of the slopes $m_1m_2 = -1$

In other words, $m_2 = -\frac{1}{m_1}$

We have the first line as

$y = \frac{1}{4}x + 5\\\\$

The slope of this line is $\frac{1}{4}$

The slope of a perpendicular line will be the negative of the reciprocal of this line

Reciprocal of 1/4 is 4

So slope of perpendicular line is -4 which implies

y = -4x + c

We have to determine c

Since the line passes through (-3, 8), plug in these values for x and y in the equation and solve for c

8 = (-4)(-3) + c

8 = 12 + c

c = -4

So the equation of the perpendicular line is y = -4x - 4 (Answer)

It is always a good idea to plot these graphs and see if they fit the data provided

The attached plot shows the two graphs and you can see they are perpendicular to each other and the perpendicular line(the answer) passes through point (-3,8)
