Answer:

a = -3

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving Exponential Equations
  • Exponential Property [Rewrite]: \displaystyle b^{-m} = \frac{1}{b^m}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

<em />\displaystyle 5^a = \frac{1}{125}<em />

<em />

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Rewrite:                                                                                                                \displaystyle 5^a = \frac{1}{5^3}
  2. Rewrite [Exponential Property - Rewrite]:                                                       \displaystyle 5^a = 5^{-3}
  3. Set:                                                                                                                    \displaystyle a = -3

Can someone please help me with this problem
Serjik [45]

Answer:

1. 35

2. 145

3. 55

4. 90

5. 145

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 35: angle 1 and 2 are a linear pair (meaning it is in one line and adds to 180). Since we know angle 2 is 145, ∠1 = 180 - 145

∠1 = 35

2. 145: ∠7 = ∠2 because they are alternate angles and alternate angles are equal

3. 55: ∠7 = ∠5 + ∠4 because vertically opposite angles are equal. We know that ∠5 = 90, hence ∠4 would equal 145 - 90 = 55

4. ∠5 = 90. It is given

5. 145: ∠9 = ∠2 because they are vertically opposite
