Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

Jo is on the phone with a gardener who asks about the square feet of Jo's backyard. Jo counts 20 steps long and 40 steps wide (w

Sever21 [200]

Hey there!

Each step is three feet. This can be represented by 3s= feet. We can plug that in to figure out our side lengths.

20(3)=60

40(3)=120

Now we can multiply these two together to get the area.

120(60)= 7,200

Therefore, his backyard is about 7,200 square feet.

I hope this helps!

The owner of a football team claims that the average attendance at games is over 74,900, and he is therefore justified in moving

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Option c (Upper tailed) is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The average attendance is:

= 74,900

We will have to test:

⇒ $H_0:\mu \leq \mu_0$

or,

$H_0: \mu \leq 74,900$

Verses,

⇒ $H_1: \mu> \mu_0$

or,

$H_1: \mu >74,900$

The other given alternatives aren't connected to the given scenario. So the above is the correct one.

A company administers an "aptitude test for managers" to aid in selecting new management trainees. Prior experience suggests tha

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The question after this basically is:

"If the applicant passes the "aptitude test for managers", what is the probability that the applicant will succeed in the management position?"

So,

P(successful if hired) = 60% = 0.6 [let it be P(x)]

P(success at passing the test) = 85% = 0.85 [let it be P(y)]

P(successful and pass the test) = P(x) + P(y) -[P(x)*P(y)]

So,

P(successful and pass the test) = 0.6 + 0.85 - (0.6*0.85) = 0.94 (94%)

6 points Emily’s family needs to rent a moving truck to move their belongings to a different house. The rental cost for Trucks-A

Alexxx [7]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Equation to represent the daily rental cost for each type of truck can be written as follows:

Daily rental cost for Trucks-A-Lot = 42 + 0.72m

Daily rental cost for Move-in-Truckers = 70 + 0.12m

Where, m = Emily's mileage

To determine the number of miles for which the truck cost the same amount, set both equations equal to each other and solve for m.

$42 + 0.72m = 70 + 0.12m$
