Answer: Yes they could.
Step-by-step explanation:
The two pairs of sides given are proportional: 3/7 : 9/21
The two triangles have the side:side ratio, meaning they are similar
Because they are similar, their hypotenuses <em>could</em> lie along the same line, not guaranteed, but possible.
Answer: D) cube root of 16
================================================
Explanation:
The rule we use is
![x^{m/n} = \sqrt[n]{x^m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%7Bm%2Fn%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5Em%7D)
In this case, x = 4, m = 2 and n = 3.
So,
![x^{m/n} = \sqrt[n]{x^m}\\\\\\4^{2/3} = \sqrt[3]{4^2}\\\\\\4^{2/3} = \sqrt[3]{16}\\\\\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%7Bm%2Fn%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5Em%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C4%5E%7B2%2F3%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B4%5E2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C4%5E%7B2%2F3%7D%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B16%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C)
Showing that the original expression turns into the cube root of 16.
Here is the method for solving that equation:
Step #1: Write the equation:
-15x = 0
Step #2: Divide each side of the equation by -15 :
<u>x = 0</u>
My understanding is that when the power is a negative number, move it to the denominator and change it to positive.
In this case, the base is y, the power is -3
y^(-3)=1/(y^3)
1 hour=3600 seconds
1 mile=5280 feet
87 miles/hr (1 hr/3600 sec)(5280 ft/mile)=127.6 feet/sec
Distance= Rate*time
d=127.6(12)=1531.2 feet (after 12 seconds)
