Answer:

19.1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This forms a right triangle

use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 6^2 = 20^2

a^2 + 36 = 400

a^2 = 364

a = 19.0787840283

Rounded

19.1 feet

X-y=34
x+y=338

We can use elimination in this problem.

2x=372
x=186

186+y=338
y=338-186
y=152

What function is represented in the table?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

an exponential function of the form

y = ab^{x}

to find a and b use ordered pairs from the table

using (0, 0.5 ) , then

0.5 = ab^{0} [ b^{0} = 1 ] , then

a = 0.5

so y = 0.5b^{x}

using (1, 2 ) , then

2 = 0.5b^{1} = 0.5b ( divide both sides by 0.5 )

4 = b

then exponential function represented by the table is

y = 0.5 (4)^{x}

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression (4z^8)^{-3}, to evaluate this, we will use one of the law of indices as shown;

(a^m)^n = a^{mn}

4^{-3} * z^{8*-3}

= \frac{1}{4^3} * z^{-24}\\ \\= \frac{1}{64} * \frac{1}{z^{24}}\\  \\= \frac{1}{64z^{24}}

Mario's error was that she did not raise the value of 4 to the power of -3. She only raised z^8 to the power of -3 when it is supposed to affect both 4 and z^8
