Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!
You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1)
The
negative exponent rule says that when a
base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the
fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example,

.
2)
Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example,

.
3) The
zero exponent rule<span> says that any number
raised to zero is 1. For example,

.
</span>
Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter a:

<span>
2) x = 2</span>Plug this into

to find letter b:

<span>
3) x = 4</span>Plug this into

to find letter c:

<span>
Problem 2
</span>The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is

. The x-values are:
<span>
1) x = 0</span>Plug this into

to find letter d:

<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into

to find letter e:

<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into

to find letter f:

<span>

Answer:
77.98
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
x: number of hammers
y: number of wrenches
We write the system of inequations:
10x + 6y <= 120
x + y> = 14

Answer:

Four raised to the one-sixth power
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to simplify: ![\dfrac{\sqrt{4} }{\sqrt[3]{4} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5Csqrt%7B4%7D%20%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B4%7D%20%7D)
First, we apply the fractional law of indices to each term.
![\text{If } a^{1/x}=\sqrt[x]{a},$ then:\\\sqrt{4}=4^{1/2}\\\sqrt[3]{4}=4^{1/3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BIf%20%20%7D%20a%5E%7B1%2Fx%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5Bx%5D%7Ba%7D%2C%24%20then%3A%5C%5C%5Csqrt%7B4%7D%3D4%5E%7B1%2F2%7D%5C%5C%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B4%7D%3D4%5E%7B1%2F3%7D)
We then have:
![\dfrac{\sqrt{4} }{\sqrt[3]{4} }=\dfrac{4^{1/2} }{4^{1/3} }\\$Applying the division law of indices: \dfrac{a^m }{a^n }=a^{m-n}\\\dfrac{4^{1/2} }{4^{1/3} }=4^{1/2-1/3}\\\\=4^{1/6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B%5Csqrt%7B4%7D%20%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B4%7D%20%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B4%5E%7B1%2F2%7D%20%7D%7B4%5E%7B1%2F3%7D%20%7D%5C%5C%24Applying%20the%20division%20law%20of%20indices%3A%20%5Cdfrac%7Ba%5Em%20%7D%7Ba%5En%20%7D%3Da%5E%7Bm-n%7D%5C%5C%5Cdfrac%7B4%5E%7B1%2F2%7D%20%7D%7B4%5E%7B1%2F3%7D%20%7D%3D4%5E%7B1%2F2-1%2F3%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D4%5E%7B1%2F6%7D)
The correct option is B.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your answer would be B., because you would multiply
2.14 x 22.4 =
47.939
then you will subtract that by 42.9
47.939 - 42.9 =
5.026
