I just need help with problems 15 to 20 Please help

-2(x-3) >-8 What is the answer

Vlad [161]

Answer:

x < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First apply the -2 onto each term that it is being multiplied onto.

-2x + 6 > - 8

Now subtract six from both sides.

-2x > -14

Now divide by -2.

x < 7

REMEMBER

When doing greater than and less than equations like this, if you divide by a negative you must flip the greater than/less than.

Complete the table of values

Agata [3.3K]

Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!

You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1) The negative exponent rule says that when a base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example, $3^{-2} =
\frac{1}{3^{2} }$ .
2) Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example, $(\frac{3}{4}) ^{3} = \frac{ 3^{3} }{4^{3} }$ .
3) The zero exponent rule says that any number raised to zero is 1. For example, $3^{0} = 1$ .


Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is $y = 4^{-x}$ . The x-values are:
1) x = 0
Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter a:
$y = 4^{-x}\\
y = 4^{-0}\\
y = 4^{0}\\
y = 1$

2) x = 2
Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter b:
$y = 4^{-x}\\ 
y = 4^{-2}\\ 
y = \frac{1}{4^{2}} \\ 
y= \frac{1}{16}$

3) x = 4
Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter c:
$y = 4^{-x}\\ 
y = 4^{-4}\\ 
y = \frac{1}{4^{4}} \\ 
y= \frac{1}{256}$


Problem 2
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ . The x-values are:
1) x = 0
Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter d:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\
y = (\frac{2}{3})^0\\
y = 1$

2) x = 2
Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter e:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^2\\ y = \frac{2^2}{3^2}\\
y = \frac{4}{9}$

3) x = 4
Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter f:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^4\\ y = \frac{2^4}{3^4}\\ y = \frac{16}{81}$

-------

Answers:
a = 1
b = $\frac{1}{16}$ 
c = $\frac{1}{256}$
d = 1
e = $\frac{4}{9}$
f = $\frac{16}{81}$

A pickup truck carrying 10 to the 3rd power identical bricks weighs 6,755 pounds. If the empty truck weighs 6,240 pounds, what i

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The answer is that each brick weights .515 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

10 to the 3rd power is 10^3 = 1000 bricks.

The weight of the full truck minus the weight of the empty truck is the weight of the bricks:

6755 - 6240 = 515 pounds of bricks

Pounds per brick:

515 / 1000 = .515 pounds per brick.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!

What are the two words that allow you to check your division problem backward?

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

inverse operation

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse means opposite. The opposite of division is multiplication. For example, if you divided 15 by 3, the answer is 5. If you multiply 5 by 3, the answer is 15. You know your answer is correct by checking it with the inverse operation.

Hope this helps!! Have a wonderful day :3
