1. Explain why n root a^n= |a| when n is even, but not when n is odd.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the expression a^n, for integer values of n greater than 1, there are n factors. For example, a^2 = a * 2 (2 factors), a^3 = a * a * a (3 factors), etc.

For a non-negative value of a, a^n is non-negative for all values of n.

If a is negative, and n is even, then a^n is non-negative.

If a is negative, and n is odd, then a^n is negative.

|a| is non-negative for all values of a.

sqrt_n(a^n) is negative for negative a and odd n, but |a| is always non-negative, so sqrtn(a^n) cannot equal |a| for odd n.

jekas [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = x+3

Width = x-1

Area = l*b

where l is the length of the bedroom

and b is the breadth or width of the bedroom

The polynomial can be written as:

Area=(x+3)(x-1)

Now we will find the area of the room when x=10

First we will find the values of length and width.

Length = x+3

Length = 10+3 = 13

Width = x-1

Width = 10-1=9

Now put the values in the formula:

Area=l*b

Area=13*9

Area = 117 square feet....

You just have to figure it where you can place 2 solid lines and get 10 triangles ( i can only get 9). Think about the pentagon in the middle of the triangles and see if somehow you can create more triangles using only the two straight lines.
