Explain why (-8)¹/₂ !-(8)¹/₂ , but (-27)¹/₃ =-(27)¹/₃

Answers

Answer 1

[tex](-8)^\frac{1}{2} \neq -(8^\frac{1}{2})[/tex] because 8 is an odd power of 2 and [tex](-27)^\frac{1}{3} = -(27)^\frac{1}{3}[/tex] because 27 can be written with the power which a multiple of 3.

Consider [tex](-8)^\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

We know that 8 = 2³

So [tex](-8)^\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = [tex](-2^3)^\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Also there is no real value for this expression. If 8 had an even power, then we would have got a real value. Because here 3 does not cancel with 2 completely.

Now for [tex]-(8^\frac{1}{2})[/tex] , this expression means the negative sign of the square root of 8. Even though 8 is not an perfect square, 8 has a real square root value. So this expression gives a real value. But the previous one does not.

Hence, [tex](-8)^\frac{1}{2} \neq -(8^\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

Consider [tex](-27)^\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = [tex](-3^3)^\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = -3, canceling out the 3 on the denominator with the power of (-3).

Also,  [tex]-(27)^\frac{1}{3}[/tex] =  [tex]-(3^3)^\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = -3 again.

Hence  [tex](-27)^\frac{1}{3} = -(27)^\frac{1}{3}[/tex] .

This is because the power was a multiple of 3.

Mrs Chua has a bag of sweets for some children. If each child gets 8 sweets, there will be 3 sweets extra. If she gives each child 9 sweets, there will be 2 sweets short. Find the extra number if sweets Mrs Chua needs to buy in order for each child to get either 8 or 9 sweets​

Answers

Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

It is clear that the number of sweets that should be bought so that each child can get either 8 or 9 sweets should be divisible by both 8 and 9

This is called the LCM or least common multiple of 8 and 9
Since 8 and 9 have no divisors in common LCM of 8 and 9 is 72 so 72 is the minimum number of sweets to buy so that there are no leftovers if each child gets 8 or 9 sweets

Let's compute the number of sweets that were bought the first time. Let the number of children be X

Since each child got 8 sweets and 2 were left over, the total of sweets must be 8X + 2

If each child were to get 9 sweets each then there would be 2 sweets short

This can be written as 9X -2 for the total number of sweets

Since these have to be equal,
9X - 2 = 8X + 2

Add 2 to both sides:
9X - 2 + 2 = 8X +2 + 2
9X = 8X + 4

Subtract 8X from both sides
9X - 8X = 8X - 8X + 4
1X = 4
==> X = 4
So number of children is 4

Total number of sweets bought
= 8 x 4 + 2 = 34

or

= 9 x 4 - 2 = 34

Therefore number of extra sweets to be bought = 72 - 34 = 38

What is domain of a function?

The domain of a function refers to the input variables, often times the domain comprises of the x axis. for the given graph the domain is -4 ≤ x ≤ 4.

How to get the domain of a function.

This would be through the points in the function. We are given  [-4,4]

-4 is the negative side while 4 is the positive. We have to write this out as

-4 ≤ x ≤ 4.

The positive part part of the function is at 4. This is because we can assume a +4 sign.

The negative part is the point -4.

Profit is a term that often describes the financial gain a business receives when revenue surpasses costs and expenses.

Total Revenue - Total Expenses = Profit.

for 1 kg profit is $4

then for 150 kg profit is =  (profit of 1 kg × total rice)

The components of -5RS are {-20; 65}.

The components of a vector in a two-dimensional coordinate system are usually thought of as the x and y components. This can be expressed as V = (vx, vy). where V is a vector. These are part of the vectors generated along the axis.

Suppose an angle θ is formed between the vector V and the x component of the vector. A vector V and its x component (vx) form a right triangle if you draw a line parallel to the y component (vy).

Due to the trigonometric relationship

cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse = vx/V

sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse = vy/V

How much interest does 2560 earn in 17 months at a rate of 5 1/8%? Round to the nearest cent

Answers

The interest that 2560 earns in 17 months at a rate of 5 1/8% is $185.9.

How to calculate the interest?

In the fields of finance and economics, interest is the payment of a sum over and above the principal amount to a lender or depositor by a borrower or deposit-taking financial institution at a set rate. It is not the same as a fee that the borrower might pay to the lender or another entity.

Principal = $2560

Time = 17 months = 1.417 years

Rate = 5.125%

Therefore, the Interest will be:

= (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100

= (2560 × 1.417 × 5.125) / 100

= $185.9

Therefore, the interest that 2560 earns in 17 months at a rate of 5 1/8% is $185.9.

Write each expression in simplest form. (-32y¹⁵)¹/₅

Answers

The simplest form of the expression is determined by solving the fractional exponent.

If an exponent of the base (number) is expressed in a fraction, it is called a fractional exponent. In an expression say x^1/y, 1/y is the fractional exponent. Fractional exponent represents the power and root together.

In the given expression, the base term is -32y^15, while the exponent is 1/5.

Since, (ab)^m=a^mb^m

Hence, (-32y¹⁵)^¹/₅=(-32)^1/5*(y^15)^1/5

When a base number has a negative sign, and the power is an odd number, the negative sign is extracted.

(-32)^1/5*(y^15)^1/5=-(32)^1/5*(y^15)^1/5

Since, (a^m)^n=a^m*n

-(32)^1/5*(y^15)^1/5=-32^1/5y^15*1/5

As 32=2*2*2*2*2=2^5

The expression becomes.

-(2^5)^1/5*(y^15^)1/5

Multiplying the powers,

-(25)^1/5*(y^15)^1/5=-(2^5*1/5)(y^15*1/5)=-2y^3

The simplest form of expression is (-32y¹⁵)^¹/₅ is -2y^3.

What is Logarithm?The opposite of exponentiation is the logarithm.This indicates that the exponent to which a fixed number, base b, must be raised in order to obtain a specific number x, is represented by the logarithm of that number.A number's natural logarithm is its logarithm to the base of the transcendental and irrational number e, which is roughly equivalent to 2.718281828459.

Now,

log(5) - (log (2x)) =1

=> log (5) - [log (2) + log (x)] = 1 (as log(ab) = log(a) + log (b))

=>log (5) - log (2) - log (x) = 1

=> log ([tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]) - log (x) = 1

=> 0.3979 - log (x) = 1
