The rule about negative exponents is that you put the base under "1" in a fraction and the negative exponent becomes positive.  For example, x^{-1} becomes \frac{1}{x}.  So in your case, \frac{1}{4} ^{-2} = \frac{1}{  \frac{1}{4} ^{2} } = \frac{1}{ \frac{1}{16} } =16

Can someone walk me through these? I need a better understanding. Or maybe just one of them so I can understand and do the rest
Olin [163]

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll do the first one as an example.

"What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from K(-5,-4) to L(5,1) that partitions the segment into a ratio of 3 to 2?"

Let's call the point we're trying to find P.  Ratio of 3 to 2 means that the distance from K to P divided by the distance from P to L is 3/2.

KP / PL = 3 / 2

Which also means the horizontal distances and vertical distances between the points have a ratio of 3:2.

KxPx / PxLx = 3 / 2

KyPy / PyLy = 3 / 2

First, let's use the x coordinates:

(x − (-5)) / (5 − x) = 3 / 2

(x + 5) / (5 − x) = 3 / 2

2 (x + 5) = 3 (5 − x)

2x + 10 = 15 − 3x

5x = 5

x = 1

And now with the y coordinates:

(y − (-4)) / (1 − y) = 3 / 2

(y + 4) / (1 − y) = 3 / 2

2 (y + 4) = 3 (1 − y)

2y + 8 = 3 − 3y

5y = -5

y = -1

So the point P is at (1,-1).

Nadya [2.5K]
-4x + 4 = 6
x = -.5

2x + 10 = 50
x = 20

-3x - 14 = -5
x = -3

2/3x + 2 = 5
x = 4.5

A girl flying a kite lets out 130 feet of string that makes an angle of 52° with the ground. If the string forms a straight line
Ket [755]

Answer:

The height of the kite above the ground is 102 .44 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of the kite above the ground, we will follow the steps below:

let h represent the height of the kite above the ground

we will use trigonometric ratio to solve

SOH CAH TOA

sinФ = opposite/hypotenuse

cosФ=adjacent / hypotenuse

tanФ=opposite / adjacent

from the diagram below

opposite = h

hypotenuse = 130 feet

Ф = 52°

The best trig ratio to use is sin

sin Ф = opposite / hypotenuse

sin52° = h / 130

cross-multiply

h = 130 sin 52°

h=102.44°

The height of the kite above the ground is 102 .44 feet
