The two powers are not equal. Wade is correct, but Luther misinterpreted 2 to the power of 3 as 2 factors of 3. He switched the base and exponent. Luther’s value should be 2 times 2 times 2, which is 8.

2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8
3^2 = 3 * 3 = 9

nope...both students are not right...Luther got it wrong....because 2^3 means 2 * 2 * 2...and that equals 8

A rain gutter is to be constructed of aluminum sheets 12 inches wide. After marking off a length of 4 inches from each edge, thi
marysya [2.9K]
For this problem, I think there is no need for the details of 12 inches width and 4 inches length. This is because an equation is already given. It was clearly specified that A as a function of θ represents the area of the opening. Then, we are asked to find exactly that: the area of opening. Moreover, the value of θ was also given. Therefore, I am quite sure that the initial details given are for the purpose of red herring only.

So, all we have to do is substitute θ=45° to the function given. 
A = 16 sin 45° ⋅ (cos 45° + 1)

The angle 45° is a special angle in trigonometry. So, it would be easy to remember trigonometric functions of this angle. Sine of 45° is equal to √2/2 while cosine of 45° is also √2/2.

A = 16(√2/2) ⋅ (√2/2 + 1)
A = 8+8√2
A = 19.31 square inches

Solve for x in the equation ? 2x^2 +3 x-7 =x^2 +5x +39
otez555 [7]

Answer:

1 ± √47

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms in 2x^2 +3 x-7 =x^2 +5x +39:

2x^2 - x^2 = x^2 (first term);

3x - 5x = -2x (second term);

-7 - 39 = -46 (third term)

Then we have, all on the left side, x^2 - 2x - 46, which is a quadratic equation.  Here the coefficients are a = 1, b = -2 and c = -46.

Then the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac, is:

(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-46) = 4 + 184.

The roots are:

     -(-2) ±√188         2 ± √4√47

    ------------------- = -------------------

              2                         2

                             = 1 ± √47 (last of the answer choices)

=

x = ------------------
