<span>(1,625) No
(0,-25) No
(-1,-1) No
Think about what an integer exponent means for an negative base and you'll understand this problem. For instance the powers of -25 would be
-25^1 = -25
-25^2 = (-25) * (-25) = 625
-25^3 = (-25)*(-25)*(-25) = -15625
and so on, giving 390625, -9765625, 244140625, etc.
But that's a different subject. For the ordered pairs given, let's check them out.
(1,625)
-25^1 + 1 = -25 + 1 = -24. And -24 is not equal to 625, so "No".
(0,-25)
-25^0 + 1 = 1 +1 = 2.
Note: Any real number other than 0 raised to the 0th power is 1. And 2 is not equal to -25, so "No".
(-1,-1)
-25^(-1) + 1 = 1/(-25^1) + 1 = 1/-25 + 1 = 24/25.
And 24/25 is not equal to -1, so also "No".</span>
We can't see the whole question :/
Answer:
144
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Marc's age be x. If Jeanine is twice as old as Marc, then her age will be 2x. If their ages added together are 24, then you can create the following equation:
2x + x = 24
3x = 24
x = 8
Remember that x is Marc's age. So if Marc is 8, and Jeanine is twice as old, she will be 16.
5/4 is the constant of proportionality
