Answer:

Squaring and square root are inverses, so one should "undo" the other. That is, squaring the square root of a number results in the number. Using the power of a power rule, you multiply the exponents. Since a number to the first power is itself, the product of the exponents must equal 1. This means that the power of the square root must be the reciprocal of 2, or one half.

Because all you do is times that number by itself then when you divide you have to take half of the number then divide it

You start a new job. After w weeks, you have (10w+110) dollars in your savings account and (36w+25) dollars in your checking acc
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

(46w+135) dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Amount in savings account = (10w+110) dollars

Amount in checking amount = (36w+25) dollars

We need to find an expression that represents the total in both accounts. It is simply the sum of amount in the savings account and checking amount.

Sum = (10w+110) dollars + (36w+25) dollars

= (10w+36w) + (110+25)

= (46w+135) dollars

Hence, the required expression is (46w+135) dollars

Answer:

K = -2J + 28

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope just look at rise over run.

The rise is -4 as it goes down and run is 2 to the right.

slope = rise/run = -4/2 = -2

The second blank is 28, you just have to see where the line touches the y axis.
