Step-by-step explanation:

Put the value of x = -6 to all expressions:

$x^{-2}=(-6)^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{(-6)^2}=\dfrac{1}{6}\qquad\text{used}\ a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\\=====================\\x^{-1}=(-6)^{-1}=\dfrac{1}{(-6)^1}=-\dfrac{1}{6}\\=====================\\x^0=(-6)^0=1\qquad a^0=1\ \text{for all real numbers except 0}\\=====================\\x^1=(-6)^1=-6\qquad a^1=a\ \text{for all real numbers}\\=====================\\x^2=(-6)^2=36$

Mr. Woo wants to ship a fishing rod to his son that is 42 inches long. He has a box that measures 10 inches by 10 inches by 40 i

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The 42 inches long fishing rod will fit in the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of a cuboidal box is the largest measurement inside the box.

Now, the dimensions of the box are 10 inches by 10 inches by 40 inches.

Therefore, the diagonal length of the box is $\sqrt{10^{2} + 10^{2} + 40^{2}} = 42.42$ inches which is greater than 42 inches.

Hence, the 42 inches long fishing rod will fit in the box. (Answer)

Drag each expression to show whether it is equivalent to 6(4x−1), 24x+6, or (4⋅6x)+(4⋅2) somebody please help me i need to get t

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

6(4x-1) is equivalent to 24x-6 and (2*12x)-(2*3)

24x+6 is equivalent to 6(4x+1) and (6*4x)+(6*1)

(4*6x)+(4*2) is equivalent to 24x+8 and 4(6x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

An equivalent expression is an expression which either simplified or factored is equal to it.

6(4x-1) is equivalent to 24x-6 and (2*12x)-(2*3)

24x+6 is equivalent to 6(4x+1) and (6*4x)+(6*1)

(4*6x)+(4*2) is equivalent to 24x+8 and 4(6x+2)

Solve 4/x-4=x/x-4-4/3 for x and determine if the solution is extraneous or not

4vir4ik [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 4 (extraneous solution)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$\frac { 4 } { x - 4 } = \frac { x } { x - 4 } - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 } { x - 4 } - \frac { x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ \frac { 4 - x } { x - 4 } = - \frac { 4 } { 3 } \\ 3 ( 4 - x ) = - 4 ( x - 4 ) \\ 1 2 - 3 x = - 4 x + 1 6 \\ 4 x - 3 x = 1 6 - 1 2 \\ x = 4 \\$

This solution is extraneous. Reason being that even if it can be solved algebraically, it is still not a valid solution because if we substitute back $x=4$ , we will get two fractions with zero denominator which would be undefined.

8. In how many ways can a committee of four be selected from eight men and seven women if Miss Jones refuses to serve on the sam

____ [38]

If the exclusion of Miss Jones and Mr Smith serving together was not present, the are 15C4 = 1365 ways of selecting the committee.
Miss Jones can serve on the committee in the following ways:
a) with 3 men
b) with 2 men and another woman
c) with 1 man and 2 other women
d) with 3 other women.
Arrangement d) obviously presents no restrictions.
Arrangement a) has 7C3 ways excluding Mr Smith, and 8C3 ways if Mr Smith was included.
Arrangement b) has 7C2 * 6 ways excluding Mr Smith, and 8C2 * 6 ways if Mr Smith was included.
Arrangement c) has 7 * 6C2 ways excluding Mr Smith, and 8 * 6C2 ways if Mr smith was included.
The reductions in ways caused by the restriction are as follows:
a) 8C3 - 7C3 = 21 ways
b) 6(8C2 - 7C2) = 42 ways
c) 6C2 = 15 ways
The total reduction in the number of ways is: 21 + 42 + 15 = 78.
Therefore the total number of ways of selecting the committee, while observing the restriction, is 1365 - 78 = 1287 ways.

25. To produce the graph of the function y=0.5cos(0.5x), what transformations should be applied to the graph of the parent funct

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

C. A horizontal stretch to produce a period of $2\pi$ and a vertical compression.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the parent function as $y= \cot x$

It is given that, transformations are applied to the parent function in order to obtain the function $y=0.5\cot (0.5x)$ i.e. $y=\frac{1}{2}\cot (\frac{x}{2})$

That is, we see that,

The parent function $y= \cot x$ is stretched horizontally by the factor of $\frac{1}{2}$ which gives the function $y=\cot (\frac{x}{2})$ .

Further, the function is compressed vertically by the factor of $\frac{1}{2}$ which gives the function $y=\frac{1}{2}\cot (\frac{x}{2})$ .

Now, we know,

If a function f(x) has period P, then the function cf(bx) will have period $\frac{P}{|b|}$ .

Since, the period of $y= \cot x$ is $\pi$ , so the period of $y=\frac{1}{2}\cot (\frac{x}{2})$ is $\frac{\pi}{1/2}$ = $2\pi$

Hence, we get option C is correct.
