Evaluate the following expression (-3)^-2

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: the fraction 1/9

It is approximately equal to 0.1111

=================================

To get this answer, we use the rule

[tex]x^{-k} = \frac{1}{x^k}[/tex]

The negative exponent tells us to apply the reciprocal to get the exponent to be positive.

So,

[tex](-3)^{-2} = \frac{1}{(-3)^2}\\\\(-3)^{-2} = \frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Squaring -3 means you square the negative as well

[tex](-3)^2 = (-3)*(-3) = 9[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

(-3)^-2 would be better written as (-3)^(-2).

                                                                                       1

(-3)^(-2) would be easier to evaluate if written as -------------

                                                                                   (-3)^2

The final answer is 1/9.

I'm a survey of 200 employees, 65% agreed that the management of the cafeteria should be changed. If the confidence interval is 95%, the margin of error for this survey is %, and the maximu

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for population proportion is expressed as

Sample proportion ± margin of error

Margin of error = z × √pq/n

Where

z represents the z score corresponding to the confidence level

p = sample proportion. It also means probability of success

q = probability of failure

q = 1 - p

From the information given,

Sample proportion, p = 65/100 = 0.65

q = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

n = 200

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.025 = 0.975

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 1.96. Thus, the z score for a confidence level of 95% is 1.96

Margin of error = 1.96√(0.65)(0.35)/200

Margin of error = 0.066 = 6.6%

The maximum boundary of the interval is

0.65 + 0.066 = 0.716

New packaging for fruit snacks contains 10% less weight than the original packaging. If the new package costs 15% more than the original package, by what fraction did the unit price increase? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Answers

Answer:

5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the original packaging was 1 lb of packaging for $1.

The cost was $1/lb.

Then the weight went down by 10% and the price went up by 15%.

Now 0.9 lb of packaging cost $1.15.

The new unit cost is $1.15/(0.9 lb)

The difference is

$1.15/(0.9 lb) - $1/lb =

= $1.15/(0.9 lb) - $0.9/(0.9 lb)

= $0.25/(0.9 lb)

=$25/(90 lb) = $5/(18 lb)

The price went up by 5/18.

Step-by-step explanation:

which equation has roots of 3plus or minus sqare rt 2?

Answers

Answer:

Option D is correct.

The equation with roots 3 plus or minus square root 2 is x² - 6x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots of the unknown equation are

3 ± √2, that is, (3 + √2) and (3 - √2)

The equation can then be reconstructed by writing these roots as the solutions of the quadratic equation

x = (3 + √2) or x = (3 - √2)

The equation is this

[x - (3 + √2)] × [x - (3 - √2)]

(x - 3 - √2) × (x - 3 + √2)

x(x - 3 + √2) - 3(x - 3 + √2) - √2(x - 3 + √2)

= x² - 3x + x√2 - 3x + 9 - 3√2 - x√2 + 3√2 - 2

Collecting like terms

= x² - 3x - 3x + x√2 - x√2 - 3√2 + 3√2 + 9 - 2

= x² - 6x + 7

Question in latex: If $(ax+b)(bx+a)=26x^2+\Box\cdot x+26$, where $a$, $b$, and $\Box$ are distinct integers, what is the minimum possible value of $\Box$, the coefficient of $x$?

Answers

Answer:

16.59

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex](ax+b)(bx+a)=26x^2+\Box\cdot x+26[/tex]

Expanding the left hand side, we have:

[tex](ax+b)(bx+a)=abx^2+a^2x+b^2x+ab\\=abx^2+(a^2+b^2)x+ab\\=26x^2+\Box\cdot x+26\\ab=26 \implies b=\frac{26}{a}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]a^2+b^2=a^2+\dfrac{26}{a} =\dfrac{a^3+26}{a}[/tex]

To find the minimum value, we take the derivative and solve for its critical point.

[tex]\frac{d}{da} (\frac{a^3+26}{a})=\frac{2a^3-26}{a^2}\\$Setting the derivative equal to zero, we have:\\2a^3-26=0\\2a^3=26\\a^3=13\\a=\sqrt[3]{13}[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]\Box=a^2+b^2=\dfrac{(\sqrt[3]{13}) ^3+26}{\sqrt[3]{13}}\\=\dfrac{13+26}{\sqrt[3]{13}}\\\\\Box=16.59[/tex]

The minimum possible value of the coefficient of x is 16.59.

Answer:

173

Step-by-step explanation:

For sympliciy let the box equal y.

Expanding the left side we get (a*x+b)(b*x+a) = (a*b*(x)^2 + (a^2 + b^2)x + a*b). Hence we have that  (a*b*(x)^2 + (a^2 + b^2)x + a*b) = 26*(x)^2 + x*y + 26. Scince the coefficients of like terms in our equation must be equal, ab=26. Hence (a,b) = (1,26),(26,1),(-1,-26),(-26,-1),(2,13),(13,2),(-2,-13),(-13,-2). Since a^2 + b^2 = y we can see that the only 2 values of y are 677 and 173 (by simply plug in the values of (a,b)), taking the smaller of the two our answer is [173].

Two pathways meet at 30° to each other. One pathway has lighting and the other does not.
The distance between successive lights on the lighted pathway is 5 metres. Each light has a
range of effective illumination of 6 metres.
What length of the pathway without lights is illuminated by the pathway with lights?

Answers

Answer:

12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a picture of the two pathways 30° apart.  Add a circle representing the illumination of the light on one of the pathways.  Draw a line from the center of the circle to the last point where it intersects the pathway without lights.

This forms a triangle.  One leg is x, the length of the pathway without lights.  Another leg is 5n, where n is an integer.  This represents how far the light is from where the pathways meet.  The third and final leg is 6, the radius of the illumination.

Use law of cosine to solve:

6² = x² + (5n)² − 2x(5n) cos 30°

36 = x² + 25n² − 5√3 xn

0 = x² − 5√3 xn + 25n² − 36

In order to have a solution, the discriminant must be greater than or equal to 0.

b² − 4ac ≥ 0

(-5√3 n)² − 4(1)(25n² − 36) ≥ 0

75n² − 100n² + 144 ≥ 0

144 − 25n² ≥ 0

144 ≥ 25n²

144/25 ≥ n²

12/5 ≥ n

So n must be an integer less than 12/5, or 2.4.  Therefore, the largest value of n is 2.  Substituting:

0 = x² − 5√3 x(2) + 25(2)² − 36

0 = x² − 10√3 x + 64

Solve with quadratic formula:

x = [ 10√3 ± √(300 − 4(1)(64)) ] / 2(1)

x = (10√3 ± √44) / 2

x = 5√3 ± √11

x ≈ 5.34 or 11.98

We want the larger value of x.  So approximately 12 meters of the pathway without lights is illuminated.

Dos familias asisten a un sitio de comidas rápidas de la ciudad, una de ellas pide 4 perros calientes y 3 hamburguesas y pagan 43000 pesos, la otra familia, piden 5 perros calientes y 1 hamburguesa y pagan 34500 pesos, se desea saber ¿cuál es el valor de cada perro y de cada hamburguesa?.

Answers

Answer:

Cada perro caliente cuesta 5,500 pesos y cada hamburguesa cuesta 7,000 pesos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sea x el precio de los perros calientes y y el precio de las hamburguesas.

Escribiendo los datos de la primera familia en forma de ecuación tenemos:

[tex]4x+3y=43,000[/tex] (4 perros calientes y 3 hamburguesas cuestan 43,000 pesos)

Escribiendo los datos de la segunda familia:

[tex]5x+y=34500[/tex] (5 perros calientes y 1 hamburguesa cuestan 34,500 pesos)

Vamos a resolver este sistema de ecuaciones por el método de suma y resta:

[tex]4x+3y=43,000\\5x+y= 34,500[/tex]

Multiplicando la segunda ecuación por -3 y sumando ambas tenemos:

[tex]4x+3y=43,000\\-15x-3y= -103,500\\\\-11x=-60,500\\x=-60,500/-11\\x= 5,500[/tex]

Por lo tanto, un perro caliente cuesta 5,500 pesos.

Ahora sustituimos este valor en nuestra segunda ecuación para encontrar el precio de las hamburguesas:

[tex]5x+y=34500\\5(5,500)+y=34,500\\27,500 +y=34,500\\y=34,500-27,500\\y=7,000[/tex]

Por lo tanto, las hamburguesas cuestan 7,000 pesos cada una

Answers

Answer: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape is grouped into 4 identical parallelograms.  

Thus, as the combined area of the figure is 308, you can divide 308/4 to get 77.  Thus, each parallelogram has an area of 77.

Then, divide 14/2 to get that the height of each parallelogram is 7.  

The area of a parallelogram is l*w.  Thus, because l = 7, each parallelogram has a width of 11 because 77/7 = 11.  

Then, simply add 11+11+6 to get y.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the function f(x) = (x + 4)⁶ (x + 7)⁵ cross the X axis at x = -4 and x = -7.

What is Function?

A function is a relation from a set A to a set B where the elements in set A only maps to one and only one image in set B. No elements in set A has more than one image in set B.

Given is a function,

f(x) = (x + 4)⁶ (x + 7)⁵

When the function cross the X axis, the value of the function will be 0.

Let f(x) = 0

(x + 4)⁶ (x + 7)⁵ = 0

This implies that, either x + 4 = 0 or x + 7 = 0

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = -4

x + 7 = 0 ⇒ x = -7

Hence the roots are -4 and -7 where the function crosses the X axis.

find the difference between the endpoints of the interval on the y-axis. (1) [y-value at x=p] - (2) [y-value at x=p+k]​

Answers

I know you don't need this anymore but for the ones who do this is the answer.........Look at the graph and trust it. Yes, I know it says to substitute and you can following the last page on part a) Doing what they do in the tables and it will get you the same answer as if you'd just look at the graph.

The answer for the y- value at x=p IS 8. and the answer for the y-value at x=p+k IS 5. So go ahead and write that down if you haven't already!

For step2 Find the difference between the endpoints of the interval on the y-axis. The answer to your question, Is and always will be 3! The difference is 3 because you subtract 3 from 8 and you get 5.

If you didn't read clearer, I'll write it for you again, The length interval is K, it is the length between p and p+k.

For the following questions, does your answer to step 2 depend on p, well I suppose. This is why....The answer does depend on p because we are dealing with a slope. if you move up or down the slope it will not be the same.

For the question..... Is the difference between the y-values the same regardless of where the interval starts? The answer is yes!!! And No!!! But WRITE YES! Why? Because if the interval moves as a whole the difference between the y-values is the same! Try it for yourself. Move K back two x-values and the difference for the y-values will be the same, IT WILL STILL BE THREE.

Hope you understood!

And for part one the answer on part c (-2). It depends on K.
