Step-by-step explanation:
I am not fully sure what your teacher is aiming for. it friends very much on what you were just discussing in class (which I don't know).
but the first thing coming to mind is a minus sign ("-"). squaring a negative number removed the minus and makes the result equal to squaring the same positive number.
just for the undoing the 1/2 :
that is, because a fraction as exponent specifies in its denominator the root to be calculated for the basic value or expression.
so, 1/2 means square root. and yes, square is the inverse function of a square root, and it "undoes" the square root.
in exponent calculation it just means that for exponent 1 to the power of exponent 2 we simply multiply both exponents. and so, 1/2 × 2 = 1
FYI - the numerator still represents an original "to the power of" operation.
so, e.g. 3/2 would mean put the basis to the power of 3 and then do the square root of that result. or the other way around. these operations are commutative (the sequence does not matter).
Answer:
Neither
Step-by-step explanation:
(3,4)(2,-1)
slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope(m) = (-1-4) / (2 - 3) = -5/-1 = 5
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5
u can use either of ur points...(3,4)...x = 3 and y = 4
now we sub and find b, the y int
4 = 5(3) + b
4 = 15 + b
4 - 15 = b
- 11 = b
so ur equation is : y = 5x - 11 <===
What in the world is that
