Answer: 8 = 23 (-8)4 = (23)4 = 212

1/(2048x)

Step-by-step explanation:Negative number raised to an even power is positive

For example let's look at (-7)6 , where (-7) , a negative number, is raised to 6 , an even exponent :

(-7)6 can be written as (-7)•(-7)•(-7)•(-7)•(-7)•(-7)

Now, using the rule that says minus times minus is plus, (-7)6 can be written as (49)•(49)•(49) which in turn can be written as (7)•(7)•(7)•(7)•(7)•(7) or 76 which is positive.

We proved that (-7)6 is equal to (7)6 which is a positive number

Using the same arguments as above, replacing (-7) by any negative number, and replacing the exponent 6 by any even exponent, we proved which had to be proved

Dividing exponential expressions : x3 divided by x4 = x(3 - 4) = x(-1) = 1/x1 = 1/x

Final result :

1/2048x

A line through the origin has a slope of 1 / 3. Carlos thinks the slope of a perpendicular line at the origin will be 3.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Carlos is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a line through the origin has a slope of $\frac{1}{3}$ . Carlos thinks the slope of a perpendicular line at the origin will be 3.

We know that the slope of a perpendicular line to a given line is always negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

The slope of the perpendicular line at the origin will be negative reciprocal of $\frac{1}{3}$ .

Let us find negative reciprocal of $\frac{1}{3}$ as:

$-\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}}=-\frac{1\cdot 3}{1}=-3$

Since the slope of a perpendicular line at the origin is $-3$ , therefore, Carlos is incorrect.

Answer:

When y = |x + h|, the graph is shifted (or translated) <u>to the left.</u>

When y = |x - h|, the graph is shifted (or translated) <u>to the right.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The parent function of vertex graphs are y = |x|, and any transformations done to y = |x| are shown in this format (also known as vertex form): y = a|x - h| + k

(h , k) is the vertex of the graph.

So, for the first part, what y = |x + h| is saying is y = |x - (-h)|.

The -h is substituted for h, and negatives cancel out, resulting in x + h.

This translates to the left of the graph.

Part B:

For the second part, y = |x - h| looks just like the normal vertex form. In this one, we are just plugging in a positive value for h.

This translates to the right of the graph.
