HELP!! Is –41/2 equivalent to (–4)1/2? Why or why not?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oliga [24]3 years ago

No, they are not equivalent. The first term, -4 1/2 equals 4 whole units and one half unit. All negative. So it’s like you have someone 4 and 1/2 dollars.

The second term, (-4)1/2 means multiplying -4 times 1/2. Doing the multiplication for this gives you -4/2. Solving the division here is -2. It’s taking away 1/2 dollar 4 times.

I hope this helped. Happy to answer any questions you have.

(2x²/3)=dg

2x²=3dg

x²=((3dg)/2)

So x=√((3dg)/2) or x=-√((3dg)/2)

1. The prism-shaped roof has equilateral triangular bases. Create an equation that models the height of one of the roof's triang
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

h=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}b\ units    

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An equilateral triangle has three equal sides and three equal interior angles (the measure of each interior angle is equal to 60 degrees)

see the attached figure to better understand tyhe problem

Let

h ----> the height of an equilateral triangle

b ---> the length side of an equilateral triangle

In the right triangle ABD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AB^2=AD^2+BD^2

substitute the given values

b^2=(\frac{b}{2})^2+h^2  

b^2=\frac{b^2}{4}+h^2

h^2=b^2-\frac{b^2}{4}

h^2=\frac{3}{4}b^2

square root both sides

h=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}b\ units

Which of the following could represent cross sections of a rectangular prism? A. Rectangle and hexagon B. Rectangle and circle C
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

C. Rectangle and Cube

Step-by-step explanation:

It's actually pretty easy to figure this out because all you have to do is look at the shape, and try to find what to shapes made this figure. When you look at a cuboid (rectangular prism), you can see how the answer choices have one 2D shape, and one 3D shape. Well after looking at the Cuboid, we can see that there are rectangles on the faces, and this would be the 2D shape, and then we have a big cube holding those faces together, and the cube would be our 3D shape.

Hope this helps :)
