Step-by-step explanation:

x to the power of 1/2 means sqrt(x) (square root).

so, 9 to the power of 1/2 = sqrt(9) = 3.

therefore, we are looking for expressions that are also 3.

3 to the power of 1/2 = sqrt(3).

sqrt(3) × sqrt(3) = 3

this is correct

27 = 3×3×3

so, the cubic root would be 3 and correct, but the 6th root is incorrect.

27 to the power of 1/3 means the cubic root of 27, which is 3. but this is still multiplied by 3 to the power of 1/2 (sqrt(3)). so, the result is not 3 and therefore incorrect.

81 to the power of 1/2 = sqrt(81) = 9

9×9 = 81 and not 3. this is therefore incorrect.

729 to the power of 1/6 is the 6th root of 729, which is 3. this is therefore correct.

81 to the power of 1/3 means the cubic root of 81. but 81 is not a cubic number, and also multiplying this again with the cubic root of 81 is not 3. this is therefore incorrect.

81 to the power of 1/4 means the 4th root of 81. which is the square root of the square root.

the square root of 81 = 9. and the square root of 9 = 3.

3×3 = 9 and not 3. this is therefore incorrect.

A ladder is placed against the side of a house. The top of the ladder is 12 feet above the ground. The base of the ladder is 5 f

Colt1911 [192]

This is the Pythagorean theorem where the 2 legs of a triangle squared add up to equal the squared hypotenuse (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

The equation would be
12^2 + 5^2 = x^2

144 + 25 = 169

The square root of 169 = 13

Answer - 13 ft

a line intersects the point (12,3) and has a slope of 4. what are the inputs to the point slope formula

astraxan [27]

Hey There,

The equation would be y = 4x - 45

Point slope formula

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

Plug in the numbers

(y-3)=4(x-12)

Solve for y.

4 * x = 4x

4 * -12 = -48

Bring 3 to the other side (change the sign)

-48 +3 = 45

Therefore, the equation would be y = 4x - 45

can you transform the square shown below into pieces that when put together form five small equal squares whose total area shall

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

How about this (see attached image):

Use the four cuts as shown in the image (red lines).

Then assemble 5 equal squares by the numbers: 1 center square and the rest are pieced together using two pieces as shown. All five together add up to the same area as original square because we use all pieces.

The way one gets a hint toward a solution is to see how an area of a square of length 1 can be split into 5 equal square areas:

$1^2 = 5\cdot x^2\\x = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5} = \sqrt{\frac{2^2}{5^2}+\frac{1^2}{5^2}}$

which indicates we need to find a a triangle with sides 2 and 1 to get the hypotenuse of the right length. That gave rise to the cut pattern (if you look carefully, there are triangles with those side lengths).
