Since there are no multiples other than 1 and -1 that could multiply in any way to equal 1, those are the only numbers you can really work with
it is a possibility that a, b, and c could equal 1 but then it would go wrong when comes time to subtract since all numbers are equal and cannot subtract largest from smallest.
a logical approach would be to try -1, -1, and 1 since -1 * -1 = 1 and then 1* 1 =1
we can make a= -1 , b= -1, and c= 1
(we need b to equal -1 so that we get an answer of -1 opposed to if we made a=-1 and c=-1, all outcomes would equal 1)
-1²=1
-1³=-1
1⁴= 1
since 1 is the largest possible outcome and -1 is the lowest possible outcome you should subtract the two
1-(-1) = 1+1 = 2
The answer should be D: 2
hoped this helped at all!
Answer:
9 hours, 20 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
When two ferries work together, they transport a day's cargo in 7 hours
The speed proportion or ratio of larger ferry to smaller ferry is given as 3 : 1
The sum of the ratio = 4 (3 + 1)
This means that it will take the smaller ferry = 7 x 4 hours to work alone = 28 hours, since the larger ferry is faster by 3.
Therefore, when larger ferry works alone, it will take it (7 x 4)/3 = 9.33 hours.
9.33 hours = 9 hours, 20 minutes.

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is the hypotenuse<u>
</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Identify</u>
Leg a = 24
Leg b = 7 in
Leg c = <em>x</em>
<em />
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: 24² + 7² = x²
- Evaluate exponents: 576 + 49 = x²
- Add: 625 = x²
- [Equality Property] Square root both sides: 25 = x
- Rewrite/Rearrange: x = 25

Answer:
y + 7 = - 
(x - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
Where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
Here m = - and (a, b) = (1, - 7), thus
y - (- 7) = - (x - 1), that is
y + 7 = - (x - 1) ← in point- slope form
