Answer:

-8100

Step-by-step explanation:

(2/5)^-2(-3)^4

Given data

and second term

The first term= (2/5)^-2 and

Second term=(-3)^4

Simplify the first term

(2/5)^-2= 2^-2/ 5^-2= 1/2^2 * 1/5^2

=1/4/ 1/25

=1/4*25/1

=100

Simplify the second term

=(-3)^4

= -81

Hence, 100*81

=-8100

A rectangular piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the

Answer:

The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the original length of the piece of metal

y ----> the original width of the piece of metal

we know that

When squares with sides 5 in long are cut from the four corners and the flaps are folded upward to form an open box

The dimensions of the box are

$L=(x-10)\ in\\W=(y-10)\ in\\H=5\ in$

The volume of the box is equal to

$V=(x-10)(y-10)5$

$V=930\ in^3$

$930=(x-10)(y-10)5$

simplify

$186=(x-10)(y-10)$ -----> equation A

Remember that

The piece of metal is 25 in longer than it is wide

$x=y+25$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$186=(y+25-10)(y-10)$

solve for y

$186=(y+15)(y-10)\\186=y^2-10y+15y-150\\y^2+5y-336=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

using a graphing tool

The solution is y=16

see the attached figure

Find the value of x

$x=16+25=41$

therefore

The original length was 41 inches and the original width was 16 inches

Law of cosines: a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A) What is the value of n to the nearest whole number? 18 22 29 41

nalin [4]

We know that
applying the law of cosines
a² = b²+ c²<span> – 2*b*c*cos(A)
</span>
in this problem
a=?
b=20
c=9
A=90°
so
a² = b²+ c² – 2*b*c*cos(A)
but
cos (A)=0
a² = b²+ c²-----> 20²+9²----> a²=400+81----> a²=481-----> a=√481
a=21.93-----> a=22

the answer is
22
