Answer:

A negative exponent is defined as the multiplicative inverse of the base, raised to the power which is opposite to the given power. In simple words, we write the reciprocal of the number and then solve it like positive exponents. For example, (2/3)-2 can be written as (3/2)2.

Answer:

Second choice:

$x=2t$

$y=4t^2+4t-3$

Fifth choice:

$x=t+1$

$y=t^2+4t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at choice 1.

$x=t+1$

$y=t^2+2t$

I'm going to subtract 1 on both sides for the first equation giving me $x-1=t$ . I will replace the $t$ in the second equation with this substitution from equation 1.

$y=(x-1)^2+2(x-1)$

Expand using the distributive property and the identity $(u+v)^2=u^2+2uv+v^2$ :

$y=(x^2-2x+1)+(2x-2)$

$y=x^2+(-2x+2x)+(1-2)$

$y=x^2+0+-1$

$y=x^2$

So this not the desired result.

Let's look at choice 2.

$x=2t$

$y=4t^2+4t-3$

Solve the first equation for $t$ by dividing both sides by 2:

$t=\frac{x}{2}$ .

Let's plug this into equation 2:

$y=4(\frac{x}{2})^2+4(\frac{x}{2})-3$

$y=4(\frac{x^2}{4})+2x-3$

$y=x^2+2x-3$

This is the desired result.

Choice 3:

$x=t-3$

$y=t^2+2t$

Solve the first equation for $t$ by adding 3 on both sides:

$x+3=t$ .

Plug into second equation:

$y=(x+3)^2+2(x+3)$

Expanding using the distributive property and the earlier identity mentioned to expand the binomial square:

$y=(x^2+6x+9)+(2x+6)$

$y=(x^2)+(6x+2x)+(9+6)$

$y=x^2+8x+15$

Not the desired result.

Choice 4:

$x=t^2$

$y=2t-3$

I'm going to solve the bottom equation for $t$ since I don't want to deal with square roots.

Add 3 on both sides:

$y+3=2t$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{y+3}{2}=t$

Plug into equation 1:

$x=(\frac{y+3}{2})^2$

This is not the desired result because the $y$ variable will be squared now instead of the $x$ variable.

Choice 5:

$x=t+1$

$y=t^2+4t$

Solve the first equation for $t$ by subtracting 1 on both sides:

$x-1=t$ .

Plug into equation 2:

$y=(x-1)^2+4(x-1)$

Distribute and use the binomial square identity used earlier:

$y=(x^2-2x+1)+(4x-4)$

$y=(x^2)+(-2x+4x)+(1-4)$

$y=x^2+2x+-3$

$y=x^2+2x-3$ .

This is the desired result.

Two friends bring hamburger meat to your cookout. One brings 2.7 pounds, and the other brings 3.54 pounds. How much hamburger me

inessss [21]

Answer:
They bought 6.24 pounds of hamburger meat

Explanation:
We are given that:
The first friend brought 2.7 pounds of hamburger meat
The second friend brought 3.54 pounds of hamburger meat

The total amount of hamburger meat they both brought would be simply the summation of what they brought individually.

This means that:
Total amount brought = 2.7 + 3.54
Total amount brought = 6.24 pounds of hamburger meat

Hope this helps :)
