For this case we have:

By definition, one of the properties of the power, known as negative integer power, states that:

a ^{-b}can be written as\frac{1}{a ^ b}

Thus,  7 ^{-2} can be written as \frac{1}{7 ^ 2} . So:

\frac{1}{7 ^ 2}= \frac{1}{(7 * 7)}=\frac{1}{49}

Answer:

Power of negative integer exponent:

7^{-2} =\frac{1}{7 ^ 2}= \frac{1}{(7 * 7)}=\frac{1}{49}

The negative power means 1/the number to the given power

This means that 7^-2 can be rewritten as 1/(7^2)
7^2 = 7*7
Therefore:
1/(7^2) = 1/(7*7)
7*7 = 49
Therefore:
1/(7*7) = 1/49

Based on the above calculations:
7^-2 is equal to 1/49

A ball is thrown upward from ground level. Its height h, in feet, above the ground after t seconds is h-48t -16t^2.
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

36 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a ball is thrown upward from ground level. Its height h, in feet, above the ground after t seconds is h(t)=-48t -16t^2. We are asked to find the maximum height of the ball.

We can see that our given equation is a downward opening parabola, so its maximum height will be the vertex of the parabola.

To find the maximum height of the ball, we need to find y-coordinate of vertex of parabola.

Let us find x-coordinate of parabola using formula x=-\frac{b}{2a}.

x=-\frac{-48}{2(-16)}

x=-\frac{48}{32}

x=-\frac{3}{2}

So, the x-coordinate of the parabola is -\frac{3}{2}. Now, we will substitute x=-\frac{3}{2} in our given equation to find y-coordinate of parabola.

h(t)=-48t -16t^2

h(-\frac{3}{2})=-48(-\frac{3}{2})-16(-\frac{3}{2})^2

h(-\frac{3}{2})=-24(-3)-16(\frac{9}{4})

h(-\frac{3}{2})=72-4*9

h(-\frac{3}{2})=72-36

h(-\frac{3}{2})=36

Therefore, the maximum height of the ball is 36 feet.

Answer:

The Answer is: Perimeter = 39.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: area is 56.96 m^2

Given: length is 16m.

Find Width.

Equation:

Length x Width = Area

Solve for Width, w.

16 x w = 56.96

w = 56.96/16 = 3.56.

Perimeter all the sides added together:

P= 2l + 2w

= 2(16) + 2(3.56)

= 32 + 7.12

= 39.12 m, perimeter

Hope this Helps!! Have an Awesome Day!! (-:

at a certain university, 23% of students will graduate with a math degree, 31% will graduate with a computer science degree and
Tpy6a [65]
<h3>Answer:  B) 47%</h3>

Work Shown:

A = event that the person has math degree

B = event that the person has a computer science degree

P(A) = 0.23, since 23% of the people have a math degree

P(B) = 0.31, similar reasoning as above, just different number

P(A and B) = 0.07

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

P(A or B) = 0.23 + 0.31 - 0.07

P(A or B) = 0.47

The decimal value 0.47 then converts to 47% after moving the decimal 2 spots to the right.

There's a 47% chance that we pick someone who has a math degree or a computer science degree (or both).

It might help to set up a venn diagram to see why that formula above works.

The height of a rocket launched upward from a 160 foot cliff is modeled by the function h(t)= -16t^2+48t+160, where h is height
aliina [53]

Answer:

5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the time when it landed, we will have to find the x-intercepts.

Equation given to us : -16t² + 48t + 160

Let's take the GCD, which is -16.

-16( t² - 3t - 10 )

Factoring what's inside the brackets, we get the x-intercepts.

What multiples to -10 but adds up to -3? The numbers are -5 and 2

-16 ( t - 5 ) ( t - 2 )

X-intercepts are t - 5 and t - 2

Which is 5 and 2 seconds. But one of this is an extraneous solution and that is 2.

If we substitute the value of 2 in the equation, we will not get 0.

During the x-intercept, the x has a value and y is 0. If we substitute 5 ans x. we will get y as 0.

Hence, the answer is 5 seconds.
