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

Which equation has a graph that passes through the points at (0,5) and (-3,-4)?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

y = 3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked the equation of the graph which passes through the points at (0,5) and (-3,-4).  

Now, we know that the equation of a straight line passing through the points (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) is given by

\frac{y - y_{1}}{y_{1} - y_{2}} = \frac{x - x_{1}}{x_{1} - x_{2}}.

So, in our case (x_{1},y_{1}) ≡ (0,5) and (x_{2},y_{2}) ≡ (-3,-4)

Therefore, the equation of the straight line will be  

\frac{y - 5}{5 - (- 4)} = \frac{x - 0}{0 - (- 3)}

⇒ y - 5 = \frac{9}{3}x

⇒y = 3x + 5 (Answer)

JA manufacturer determines that the cost of making a computer component is ​$3.161616. Write the repeating decimal cost as a fra
Bad White [126]

Answer:

The repeating decimal cost

a) As a fraction = $\frac{3161616}{1000000}

b) As a mixed number = $ 3\frac{161616}{1000000}

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of making a computer component

= $3.161616

= $ 3 + 0.161616

Looking at the repeating decimal it is in 6 decimal places, hence to convert it to a fraction,

0.161616/ 1000000 × 1000000

= 161616/1000000

Therefore, the cost of making  the  computer component =

$3 + $161616/1000000

Step 1

We convert to a fraction

$3 + $161616/1000000

We find the LCM = 1000000

($3 × 1000000)+ ($161616× 1)/1000000

3000000 + 161616/1000000

= $ (3161616/1000000)

As a Mixed number = 3\frac{161616}{1000000}
