Represent the following expressions as a power of the number a where a ≠ 0.: (a^3)^-2

Answer:

------------------------

Correct choice is B.

Answer:

b)  -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change of function f(x) over the interval a ≤ x ≤ b is given by:

[tex]\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

Given the interval is [-2, 0]:

Substitute the endpoints of the interval into the function and solve:

[tex]\begin{aligned}x=-2 \implies f(-2)&=4\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{-2}\\& = 4(4)\\&=16\end{aligned}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{aligned}x=0 \implies f(0)&=4\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{0}\\& = 4(1)\\&=4\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies\dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}&=\dfrac{f(0)-f(-2)}{0-(-2)}\\\\&=\dfrac{4-16}{0+2}\\\\&=\dfrac{-12}{2}\\\\&=-6\end{aligned}[/tex]

The null and alternative hypothesis regarding the test on whether the mean error is of zero is given by the following option:

D. H0: μ = 0 minutes, H1: μ ≠ 0 minutes.

The first step in identifying the hypothesis is to identify the claim tested, given as follows:

The mean prediction error is equals to zero.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is not enough evidence to go against the claim, hence we suppose that the mean is of zero minutes, as follows:

H0: μ = 0 minutes.

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, that is, if there is enough evidence to conclude that the mean prediction error is different of zero minutes, hence it is given as follows:

H1: μ ≠ 0 minutes.

Thus option D gives the correct null and alternative hypothesis in the context of this problem.

The proportional equation between y and x^2 is:

y = 3*x^2

We know that y is directly proportional to x^2, then we can write:

y = k*x^2

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

We also know that when x = 10, the value of y is 300, replacing that in the above equation we get:

300 = k*(10)^2

Now we can solve this for k:

300 = k*100

300/100 = k

3 = k

Then the equation is:

y = 3*x^2

The value of the function  (f - g)(x) is x² + 3x + 5

A function is defined as a relation between a set of inputs having one output each.

In a simpler terms, a function relates input and output.

Therefore, let's solve the function (f - g)(x)

f(x) =  √16x⁴

g(x) = 3x² - 3x - 5

Therefore,

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

(f - g)(x) = √16x⁴ - (3x² - 3x - 5)

(f - g)(x) = √16x⁴ - 3x² + 3x + 5

(f - g)(x) = 4x² - 3x² + 3x + 5

Therefore,

Answer: if you multiply you will end up with 675

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence of transformations maps ∆ABC to ∆A′B′C′. The sequence of transformations that maps ∆ABC onto ∆A′B′C′ is a reflection across the line x = -3 followed by a reflection across the line y = x.

Given that both triangles are congruent, we can infer or deduce that there were no dilations or contractions. Hence, since we are moving in a clockwise direction, we can submit that this was not a rotation but a reflection.

Hence the first sequence of reflection was such that:

∆ABC reflects onto ∆A′B′C′ across the line x = -3; followed by
a reflection across the line y = x.

Note that in geometry, reflection refers to the mirror image of an image. The line through which an image reflects is called the line of reflection.

Step-by-step explanation:

so, let's do the multiplications and squaring. and then compare the result with the target.

(x + a)² + b = x² + 2ax + a² + b

and the original expression is

x² - 4x + 19

x² = x² done

2ax = -4x

2a = -4

a = -2

a² + b = 19

(-2)² + b = 19

4 + b = 19

b = 15

so, the result is

The ordered pairs of the function, h(x) = 3x², are (1,3) and (-1,3).

According to the question,

We have the following information:

h(x) = 3x²

Now, we will look at the options to know the correct option of ordered pairs.

Now, in the options, there are only two values of x (1 and -1). So, we will solve the given function using these two values and we will find the value of h(x).

h(x) = 3x²

h(1) = 3*1*1

h(1) = 3

So, the first ordered pair is (1,3).

When x = -1:

h(x) = 3x²

h(-1) = 3*-1*-1

h(-1) = 3

the relationship between two quantities is a proportional relationship, this relationship can be represented by the graph of a straight line through the origin with a slope equal to the unit rate. For each point (x, y) on the graph, is equal to k, where k is the unit rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Andy and Emily each go to a hardware store to buy wire. The table shows the cost y in dollars for x inches of the wire they need. Andy needs 24 feet of the wire. Emily needs 15 yards of the wire. How much will each of them spend for wire?​

Looking at your chart:

cost/length in inches

6/100 = $0.06 per inch

8.1/135 = $0.06 per inch

9.6/160 = $0.06 per inch

10.8/180 = $0.06 per inch

So the rate stays at a constant rate of $0.06 per inch.

Andy needs 24 feet or 288 inches at a constant rate of $0.06 per inch.

= 288 * $0.06  

= $17.28

________________________________

Emily needs 15 yards or 540 inches at a constant rate of $0.06 per inch.

= 540 * $0.06  

= $32.40

There is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean is less than 14 hours, as the p-value of the test is greater than 0.05, using the t-distribution.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the mean is not less than 14 hours, hence:

[tex]H_0: \mu \geq 14[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is enough evidence that the mean is less than 14 hours, hence:

[tex]H_1: \mu < 14[/tex]

The test statistic is given by the equation presented as follows:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

In which the parameters are defined as follows:

In the context of this problem, the values of these parameters are:

[tex]\overline{x} = 13.5, \mu = 14, s = 3, n = 64[/tex]

Hence the test statistic is:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{13.5 - 14}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{64}}}[/tex]

t = -1.33.

Using a z-distribution calculator, with a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is less than a value, with t = -1.33 and 64 - 1 = 63 df, the p-value of the test is of 0.094.

Since the p-value of the test is greater than the significance level of 0.05, there is not enough evidence to conclude that the mean is less than 14 hours.

When two figures or objects in geometry have the same shapes, sizes, or are mirror images of one another, they are said to be congruent.

Shapes that are identical to one another are said to be congruent. Both the matching sides and the corresponding angles match. We must examine all of the shapes' angles and sides in order to accomplish this. Two shapes that are similar to one another can be stacked perfectly.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know which sets of segment lengths could form a right triangle.

For segments to form a right triangle, the lengths must satisfy the triangle inequality and the Pythagorean theorem. The latter condition can often be determined by looking at the reduced ratios of the lengths, and comparing to known Pythagorean triples.

The ratio of lengths is 3:6:7. There are no integer side lengths that will form a right triangle when one of them is double another. Not a right triangle.

The ratio lengths is 5:12:13. These numbers are a common Pythagorean triple, so will form a right triangle.

The ratio of the smaller two numbers is 3:4. In order for these to form a right triangle, they must be part of a triangle with ratios 3:4:5. That would be 15, 20, 25. The side length 29 is too long for a right triangle. Not a right triangle.

The two short sides are too short to reach the ends of the long side. These lengths will not form a triangle.

The table in the attachment computes a²+b²-c². When that value is 0, the Pythagorean theorem is satisfied, and the triangle is a right triangle. Positive numbers indicate an acute triangle; negative numbers indicate an obtuse triangle.
