pls help will give brainliest Rena used the steps below to evaluate the expression (StartFraction (x Superscript negative 3 Base

Answer:

First "order of operations" mistake: step 2

First arithmetic mistake: step 4

Step-by-step explanation:

As we understand Rena's work, she wants to simplify ...

$\left(\dfrac{x^{-3}y^{-2}}{2x^4y^{-4}}\right)^{-3}$

for x = -1 and y = 2.

Her work seems to be ...

Step 1

$\text{Substitute $x=-1$ and $y=2$ into the expression}\\\\\left(\dfrac{(-1)^{-3}2^{-2}}{2(-1)^42^{-4}}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{no error}$

Step 2

$\text{Simplify the parentheses}\\\\\left(\dfrac{2^4}{2(-1)^4(-1)^32^2}\right)^{-3}=\left(\dfrac{2^2}{2(-1)^7}\right)^{-3}\qquad\text{order of operations error}$

Step 3

$\text{Evaluate the power to a power}\\\\\dfrac{2^{-6}}{2^{-3}(-1)^{21}}\qquad\text{no error}$

Step 4

$\text{Use reciprocals and find the value}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2^32^6(-1)^{21}}=\dfrac{1}{8\cdot 64\cdot (-1)}=\dfrac{-1}{512}\qquad\text{error: $2^3$ is used instead of $2^{-3}$}$

_____

So, the first arithmetic error is in Step 4. However, the order of operations requires exponents be evaluated first. Doing that makes step 2 look like ...

$\left(\dfrac{-\dfrac{1}{4}}{2(1)\dfrac{1}{16}}\right)^{-3}=(-2)^{-3}\qquad\text{proper Step 2}$

We expect your answer is supposed to be Step 4.

Students in Miss Moseley's fourth grade class are learning multiplication, and they demonstrate mastery by passing assessments.

blagie [28]

Answer:
Each will have passed 17 tests and it will take 3 weeks.

Explanation: 
Let x be the number of weeks.
The number of tests Travis passes to begin with is 11.
We then add 2 tests per week, or 2x to that, giving us:
11+2x.

The number of tests Jenifer has passed to begin with is 2.
We then add 5 tests per week, or 5x to that, giving us:
2+5x.

Setting these equal, we have: 
11+2x=2+5x.

Subtract 2x from each side: 
11+2x-2x=2+5x-2x;
11=2+3x.

Subtract 2 from each side: 
11-2=2+3x-2;
9=3x.

Divide both sides by 3:
 $\frac{9}{3} = \frac{3x}{3}$ ;
3=x.

It will take 3 weeks.
In 3 weeks,
Travis will have passed:
11+2*3 = 11+6 = 17 tests.
Jenifer will have passed the same number, since she catches up with him at this point.

Triangle FGH with vertices F(6,6), G(8,8), and H(8,3): (a) Reflection: in the line x = 5 (b) Translation: (x,y)→ (x - 7, y - 9)

irakobra [83]

(a) The vertices after the reflection in the line x = 5 are F'(4,6) , G'(2,8) , H'(2,3) .

and (b) after translation , the vertices are F''(-1,-3) , G'' (1,-1) , H''(1,-6) .

In the question a triangle FGH with vertices F(6,6) , G(8,8) and H(8,3) is given

Part (a)

the rule for reflection of point (x,y) by the line x = p is

(x,y) → (2×p - x , y)

reflection by the line x = 5 ,

we get

the vertices as

$F'$ (2×5-6,6) = (4,6)

G'(2×5-8,8) = (2,8)

H'(2×5 - 8 ,3) = (2,3)

Part (b)

the rule of translation is given as (x,y)→ (x - 7, y - 9)

So , the vertices after translation are

F''(6-7 , 6-9) = (-1,-3)

G''(8-7,8-9) = (1,-1)

H''(8-7,3-9) = (1,-6)

Therefore , (a) The vertices after the reflection in the line x = 5 are F'(4,6)

G'(2,8) , H'(2,3) .

and (b) after translation , the vertices are F''(-1,-3) , G'' (1,-1) , H''(1,-6) .
