why does -2 to the power of 3 produce the same answer as (-2) to the power of 3

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

because it's an odd exponent

Step-by-step explanation:

-2^3 = -(2*2*2)

(-2)^3 = (-2)*(-2)*(-2)

if it was ^4 the sign would be flipped:

-2^4 = -(2*2*2*2) = -16

(-2)^4 = (-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2) = 16

Answer 2

The way to put this is that any negative base raised to an odd-numbered power, will result in a negative result, whereas any negative base raised to an even-numbered power, will result in a positive result, with the EXCEPTION of a negative base written WITHOUT grouping symbols. For instanse:

[tex]\displaystyle -1000 = -10^3 \\ -1000 = [-10]^3 \\ \\ BUT \\ \\ 10000 ≠ -10^4\:[-10000 = -10^4] \\ 10000 = [-10]^4[/tex]

I hope you know the differense now, and as always, I am joyous to assist anyone at any time.

Simplify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]f^{-1} (x)=-\frac{x}{2} +\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse, interchange the variables and solve for y.

Replace x and y,  to find inverse function f , and compute the resulting equation for x.

there will be more than one inverse if the elementary function is not one-to-one.

So, exchange the variable: [tex]y=5-2x[/tex] becomes [tex]x=5-2y[/tex]

Now, solve the equation: [tex]x=5-2y[/tex] for y

[tex]y=\frac{5}{2} -\frac{x}{2}[/tex]

The surface area of the pyramid will be 224 square millimeters. The graph is labeled below.

What is the area?

The quantity area demonstrates the amount of a sector on a planar or hemispherical cup. Surface area refers to the area of an open surface or the border of a multi-object, whereas the area of a plane region or plane field refers to the area of a form or planar material.

The surface area of the pyramid is given as,

A = 4 (Area of triangle) + Base area

A = 4 x (1/2 x 10 x 8) + 8 x 8

A = 160 + 64

A = 224 square millimeters

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.
3x+2y=7
Write your answers in simplest form.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Make 3x+2y=7 to slope intercept form. y = mx + b

So subtract 3x from both sides to get 2y= -3x + 7

Then divide by 2 on both sides to get y = -3x/2 + 7/2

The slope is -3/2 and the y-intercept is 7/2

The distance between City A and City B is 250 miles. A length of 1.6 feet represents this distance on a

between City C and City D?

The actual distance between City C and City D is ? miles

Answers

Answer:

Y = city C - city D = 2.24 ft

2.24 ft / (1.6 ft / 250 mi) = 350 mi  distance between C and D

Note: 250 mi / 1.6 ft = 156.25 mi / ft

156.25 mi / ft * 2.24 ft = 350 mi

the area of rectangle is x²+5x-36 sq. unit. its length and breadth is reduced by 2/2units. find new area of rectangle​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

length × breadth = x² + 5x - 36

let's find, what expression was multiplied by what expression to give that result.

first we see, we have a pure x² term.

so, both start with (x + ...) or (x - ...).

then we see the last (constant) term -36.

so, we have a

(x + a)(x - b)

situation.

36 is the product of

6×6

9×4

12×3

18×2

the term +5x tells us that the difference between a and b must be 5. and a as the positive number must be bigger to give us the "+" (the multiplication contains "... + ax - bx ...").

and that means a = +9, b = -4

so, the original area calculation was

(x + 9)(x - 4) = x² + 5x - 36

when we decrease both factors by 2, we get

(x + 9 - 2)(x - 4 - 2) = (x + 7)(x - 6) = x² + x - 42

that is the new area of the rectangle.
