Rational exponents are quite simple really. For instance, 2 to the power of 1/2 is the square root of two. You take the numerator of the fraction and use that as the exponent and take the denominator and use it to root the number. I know that sounds confusing, so I'll give a bunch of examples
2 to the power of 1/3
is the cube root of 2
2 to the power of 2/3
is the cube root of 2 to the power of 2, or the cube root of 4
2 to the power of 3/4
Is the 4th root of 2 to the power of 3, or the fourth root of 8

Answer:
The cross-section of the rectangular prism is a:
rectangleStep-by-step explanation:
When you take a cross-section of a rectangular prism, regularly you will obtain a rectangle because this was the base or the two-dimension figure that was used to form the three-dimension figure, in this case, the rectangular prism, the form of obtaining other figure is using how reference the square face, in that case, the cross-section would be a square, this happens because the cross-section is bind with the reference face. Possibly you think the cross-section in the figure doesn´t appear a rectangle, this happens by the perspective because we are looking at the rectangular prism with an inclination of 45°, but if the inclination was 90°, you would see a blue rectangle.

The coordinate grid shows points A through K. What point is a solution to the system of inequalities?
y > -2x + 10
y > 1/2x - 2
Choices:
E
K
B
D
Answer:
Option C, i.e., point B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given system of inequalities is
[tex]y>-2x+10[/tex] ...(1)
[tex]y>\dfrac{1}{2}x-2[/tex] ...(2)
If a point is a solution of given system of inequalities, then the both inequalities must be satisfy by the point.
From the given graph it is clear that coordinates of point E are (4,-2).
Put x=4 and y=-2 in (1).
[tex]-2>-2(4)+10\Rightarrow -2>2[/tex] False.
From the given graph it is clear that coordinates of point K are (2,3).
Put x=2 and y=3 in (1).
[tex]3>-2(2)+10\Rightarrow 3>6[/tex] False.
From the given graph it is clear that coordinates of point B are (4,7).
Put x=4 and y=7 in (1).
[tex]7>-2(4)+10\Rightarrow 7>2[/tex] True.
Put x=4 and y=7 in (2).
[tex]7>\dfrac{1}{2}(4)-2\Rightarrow 7>0[/tex] True.
Since both inequalities are true for B(4,7), therefore point B is the solution.
From the given graph it is clear that coordinates of point D are (-7,1).
Put x=-7 and y=1 in (1).
[tex]1>-2(-7)+10\Rightarrow 1>24[/tex] False.
Since the given inequalities are false for points E, K and D, therefore they are not the solution.
What is the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that passes through the points (−3, 2) and (1, 5)?
y=34x−92
y=34x+72
y=34x−74
y=34x+174
Answer:
y = 3/4x + 17/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Find slope m
m = (5 - 2)/(1 + 3)
m = 3/4
y = 3/4x + b
Step 2: Find b
5 = 3/4(1) + b
5 = 3/4 + b
b = 17/4
Step 3: Rewrite equation
y = 3/4x + 17/4
Answer:
y = 3/4x + 17/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope:
5 - 2/ 1 - (- 3)
3/ 1 + 4
3/4
Find the y-intercept:
2 = 3/4(-3) + b
2 = -9/4 + b
17/4 = b
Put it in an equation:
y = 3/4x + 17/9
What is the equation of the circle graphed on the coordinate plane? answers: 1) (x – 2)2 + (y + 1)2 = 4 2) (x + 1)2 + (y – 2)2 = 16 3) (x – 2)2 + (y + 1)2 = 16 4) (x + 2)2 + (y – 1)2 = 16
Answer:
3) (x – 2)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of circle:
(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2
where (h, k) is the center, and r is the radius.
From the graph, we see the center is at (2, -1), so h = 2, and h = -1.
The radius is 4, so r = 4.
The equation is
(x - 2)^2 + (h - (-1))^2 = 4^2
(x - 2)^2 + (h + 1)^2 = 16

$6,000 dollars is invested in two different accounts earning 3% and 5% interest. At the end of one year, the two accounts earned $220 in interest. How much money was invested at 3%? $2,000 $3,000 $4,000
Answer:
money invested at 3% is $4000
Step-by-step explanation:
let the money invested in 3% account be x
then money invested in 5% account = 6000 - x
we know interest = p*r*t/100
p is the principle amount invested
here t = 1 year
interest on 3% money
interest= x*3*1/100 = 3x/100
interest on 5% money
interest= (6000-x)*5*1/100
Total interest earned on both the account
3x/100 + 5(6000-x)/100 = (3x + 30,000 - 5x)/100 =( 30000-2x)/100
given that total interest earned = $220
thus
( 30000-2x)/100 = 220
=> 30000-2x = 220*100= 22,000
=> -2x = 22,000- 30,000
=> x = -8000/-2 = 4000
Thus, money invested at 3% = x = $4000
Answer:)
$4000

Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle in which side AB = AC. What is the perimeter of triangle ABC? 5 + StartRoot 10 EndRoot units 10 + StartRoot 10 EndRoot units 10 StartRoot 10 EndRoot units 50 units
Answer:
Option (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is incomplete; find the picture attached which makes this question complete.
Vertices of the given triangle are A(-2, -4), B(2, -1) and C(3, -4).
Length of AB = [tex]\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}[/tex]
AB = [tex]\sqrt{(2+2)^2+(-1+4)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{16+9}[/tex]
= 5 units
Since AB = AC
AC = 5 units
Similarly, BC = [tex]\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(-4+1)^2}[/tex]
BC = [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex] units
Therefore, perimeter of the given triangle = AB + AC + BC
= 5 + 5 + √10

if a watch is losing 1.5 minutes for every 12 hours that go by, how many minutes will it lose in one week?
Hey there! :)
Answer:
21 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin by calculating the number of 12 hour periods in a week.
Each day contains two 12 hour periods. (24 hours/12 = 2)
There are 7 days in a week, therefore:
2 × 7 = 14 times the watch will lose minutes.
Multiply to find the total number of minutes lost:
14 × 1.5 = 21 minutes.
Answer:
21 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 24 hours in one day, and 7 days per week. Thus there are
(24)(7), or 168, hours in one week, or 14 - 12-hour periods.
Thus, we multiply 14 - 12-hr periods to answer this question:
1.5 minutes / 14 - 12-hour periods)= 21 minutes will be lost in one week.

write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to x=3 and that passes through the point (0 -4) will mark brainliest asap!!!
Answer:
y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
x = 3 is a vertical line.
The perpendicular line passes through (0, -4) (x, y)
y = -4
The line is perpendicular, so the line should be also horizontal.
Answer:
y = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The line x = 3 is a vertical one; any line perpendicular to x = 3 is a horizontal line (which has a zero slope).
Thus, the desired line is a horizontal one that passes through (0, -4) and is represented by y = -4.
What are all of the real roots of the following polynomial? f(x) = x4 - x3 - 13x2 + x + 12
We can find roots by setting f(x) = 0 --> x^4 - x^3 - 13x^2 + x + 12 = 0.
Factoring f(x) to make things easier for us gives us (x - 1)(x + 1)(x - 4)(x + 3), which, equal to 0, gives us the ability to set each set of parentheses = 0.
x - 1 = 0 gives us x = 1.
x + 1 = 0 --> x = -1.
x - 4 = 0 --> x = 4.
x + 3 = 0 --> x = -3.
our roots are x = 1, -1, 4, and -3.

Answer:
The answer is 19
Step-by-step explanation:
I am not good at explainig at all and im not sure how to explain but I had this question
Cecilia is 19 m behind the Arman.
Arman, Babken, and Cecilia decided to compete in a 100m run.
When Arman crossed the finish line, Babken was 10m behind him.
When Babken crossed the finish line, Cecilia was 10m behind him.
percentage is the ratio of composition of matter to the overall composition of matter multiplied by 100.
Here,
When Babken is 10m behind the Arman, distance covered by babken is 90 m. Cecilia is 10 m behind when Babken cross the finish line implies Cecilia cover 90% of Babken covered distance.
So Cecilia covers 90% of Babken covered distance when Arman crossed finish line.
As arman crossed finish line Cecilia is at = 90% of run covered by babken,
= 90 * 90/100
= 81
Now, Cecilia behind Arman when he crossed the finish line = 100-81
=19
Thus, Cecilia is 19 m behind the Arman.

L: y= -4x + 17
Step-by-step explanation:
For a line L to pass through two points, we use the slope formula to calculate the slope, m, where
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
= (9-1) / (2-4)
= 8 / -2
= -4
Next we use the point slope form to find the line equation:
L: (y-y1) = m (x-x1)
substitute (x1,y1) = (4,1)
L: y-1 = -4 (x-4)
Simplify:
L: y = -4x + 16 + 1
L: y= -4x + 17
Check: substitute (4,1)
y = -4(4)+17 = 1 checks
substitute (2,9)
y = -4(2)+17 = 9 checks

Determine the measure of ∠C. answers: 1) 56° 2) 49.5° 3) 77.5° 4) 63.5°
Answer:
2) 49.5°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the above diagram, we are asked to calculate the measure of ∠C.
The formula to be used for this calculation is given as:
∠C = 1/2 (Far Arc - Near Arc)
∠BAD = 127° = Far Arc
∠EAF = 28° = Near Arc
The measure of ∠C = 1/2 (BAD - EAF)
= 1/2 ( 127° - 28°)
= 1/2 × 99°
measure of ∠C = 49.5°
