Answer:

-1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the values where the variables are and do the arithmetic.

1 to any power is 1, so you can ignore all of the 'a' factors. That leaves ...

1/(2b^3) = 1/(2(-2)^3) = 1/(2(-8)) = -1/16

___

A calculator can help you figure this out.

The width of the insect is 0.17 cm and the height of the insect is 0.125 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The scale factor is given by dividing the measurement after scaling by the same measurement

The given drawing of the insect is larger than the actual insect.

The scale factor is 20: 1 which means 20 cm on the drawing is 1 cm on the actual insect.

Step 2:

To obtain the actual insect's dimensions, we divide the dimensions of the drawing by 20.

The width of the actual insect $= \frac{3.4}{20} = 0.17.$

The height of the actual insect $= \frac{2.5}{20} = 0.125.$

The width of the insect is 0.17 cm and the height of the insect is 0.125 cm.

If you were to use the “Completing the Square” method to solve the equation below for k, what number would you add to both sides

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The number you would add to both sides of the equation to use the "Completing the Square" method would be 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number to add to both sides of an equation to complete the square, divide the first-degree term's coefficient by 2 and square your remainder. In this case, the coefficient of the first-degree term is -8. After dividing by 2 and squaring it, you'll get 16, so that is the number you must add to both sides of the equation in order to complete the square.
