what is the sign of -a^4/3 when a is less than zero

A positive

B negative

C zero

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: B. Negative

Reasoning:

'a' is less than 0, so we write a < 0

Since a < 0, this means a^4 > 0. Raising a negative to an even exponent will make the result positive. Example: (-2)^4 = 16

Applying the cube root to some positive number leads to some other positive number.

So far we see that the expression    a^(4/3)   is positive

The final result however is negative because the negative out front flips things from positive to negative.

It turns out it doesn't matter if 'a' is positive or negative. As long as 'a' is nonzero, then   -a^(4/3)   is negative. If a = 0, then the whole thing is 0.

Evaluate 4 - 2(a2 – b2)2 when a = 3 and b = 2.

Answers

Answer:

-46

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - 2(a^2 – b^2)^2 =

= 4 - 2(3^2 – 2^2)^2

= 4 - 2(9 - 4)^2

= 4 - 2(5)^2

= 4 - 2(25)

= 4 - 50

= -46

Answer:

= -46

Step-by-step explanation:

4 - 2(a² - b²)²

= 4 - 2(3² - 2²)²

= 4 - 2(9 - 4)²

= 4 - 2(5)²

= 4 - 2(25)

= 4 - 50

= -46

difference in the abscissa of points A (4,3) and B (-7,2)

Answers

Answer:

The difference is 11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk of the abscissa, we are referring to the x-axis.

So what this question is asking us is the difference between the values of the x-axis

At point A, the value is 4 while at point B, the value here is -7

So the difference between this two would be 4-(-7) = 4 + 7 = 11 units

Answer:

reflect over line b

counterclockwise rotation about P by 180 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

reflecting over b will put it in the same place bc b goes down the middle of the rectangle

if you rotate it counterclockwise around p by 180 degrees it would flip it upside down but that doesn't really matter because the length on the top and bottom are equal

Answer:

I would check:

reflect over line b  and check

counterclockwise rotation about P by 180 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, b is a horizontal line going through the middle. If you reflect across it you will get the same rectangle just backwards but exactly the same position.

If you rotate 180, then you will get the exact same shape just upsides down.

A cube fits perfectly in a sphere. If the cube has a side length of 10cm, what is the volume of the sphere? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (2 decimal places) or leave your answer in Pi form

Answers

Answer:

500 /3 pi cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The side length of the cube is 10 cm, so the diameter of the sphere is 10 cm

That means the radius is  

r =d/2 =10/2 = 5 cm

The volume of a sphere is

V = 4/3 pi r^3

  = 4/3 pi (5)^3

  = 500 /3 pi cm^3

Answer:

Your correct answer is 500/3 cm^3

I will show you how and tell you why it is 500/3 cm^3 down below:

Explanation:

The side length of the cube is 10 cm therefore, the diameter of the sphere is 10 cm so, the radius is 5 cm:

r = d/2 = 10/2 = 5 cm

and right here I will show you the volume of the sphere:

v = 4/3 r^3

= 4/3 (5)^3

= 500/3 cm^3

Showing these results, you can see that the answer is 500 /3 cm^3

Ace Electronics, Hi-Fi Stereo, and CD World buy a total of 195 DVD players from the same distributor each month. Because CD World buys 35 more units than the other two stores combined, CD World's cost is only $160 per unit. The players cost Hi-Fi $165 each and Ace $170 each. How many players does each retailer buy each month if the distributor receives $31,750 each month from the sale of the players to the three stores?

Answers

Answer:

Ace Electronics buys 30, Hi-Fi Stereo buys 50, and CD World buys 115

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of items Ace Electronics buys

Let y represent the number of items Hi-Fi Stereo buys

Let z represent the number of items CD World buys

Since Ace Electronics, Hi-Fi Stereo, and CD World buy a total of 195 DVD players:

x + y + z = 195   (1)

Since CD World buys 35 more units than the other two stores combined:

z = x + y + 35   (2)

If you substitute z in equation 1 from equation 2:

x + y + (x + y + 35) = 195

2(x + y) = 195- 35

x + y = 80   (3)

Since z = x + y + 35:

z = 80 + 35

z = 115

Since CD World's cost is $160 per unit, Hi-Fi 's cost is $165 per unit and Ace Electronics's cost is $170 per unit and the total payment received is $31,750

170x + 165y + 160z = 31750   (Substitute x from equation 3 and z as 115)

170(80-y) + 165y + 160(115) = 31750

13600 - 170y  + 165y + 18400 = 31750

32000 - 5y = 31750

5y = 250

y = 50

Since x + y = 80:

x + 50 = 80

x = 30

Answers

Answer:

A fourth degree polynomial:

[tex]2x^{4} + 10x^{3} + 21[/tex]

The closure property in relation to addition of polynomials means that any polynomials added together will result in another polynomial. For example

(10x^2 + 12) + (x^2 + 6) = 11x^2 + 18

This demonstrates closure because 11x^2 + 18 is also a polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: [tex]x^{4}+2x+20[/tex] is a fourth degree polynomial with three terms and it proved that it is in standard form

Part B: Closure property has been proved in the addition of polynomials

What is Polynomial?

A polynomial is an expression consisting of indeterminates and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponentiation of variables.

Part A

Example of fourth degree polynomial with three terms is

[tex]x^{4}+2x+20[/tex]

The standard form of a polynomial is expressed by writing the highest degree of terms first then the next degree and so on

Hence, it is a standard form

Part B

The closure property in relation to addition of polynomials means that any polynomials added together will result in another polynomial

(2x+6)+(5x+2)= 7x+8

i am thinking of a fraction. The sum of the numerator and denominator is 19. When I add
8 to the denominator, the fraction becomes 1/2 What is the fraction I am thinking of?​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fraction be [tex]\frac{x}{y}[/tex].

That would mean:

(1)    x+y = 19

&

(2)    y+8 = 2x or 2x = y+8

In order to use substitution, we multiply equation by 2:

(3)   2x+2y = 38

Then we substitute equation (2) into (3):

y+8 + 2y = 38

3y + 8 = 38

3y = 30

y = 10

Substitute this into equation (1)

x + 10 = 19

x = 9

Therefore the fraction would be:

[tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Answer:

9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the fraction be x/y.
