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.

Which is the focus of a parabola with equation y2 = 4x?
0 (-1,0)
0 (0, -1)
0 (0, 1)
(1, 0)​

Answers

Answer:

(1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write this as y^2 = 4x; the " ^ " indicates exponentiation.

The appropriate equation for a horizontal parabola that opens to the right is

y^2 = 4px

Here, we are told that  y^2 = 4x; this tells us that 4p = 4, and so p = 1.  

Again, this parabola is a horizontal one and it opens to the right.  p = 1 is the distance of the focus from the vertex, and in this case p = 1.  Thus, the focus is at (1, 0) (situated on the x-axis).

Work out the percentage change to 2 decimal places when a price of £189 is decreased to £150.

Answers

Answer:

The percentage change is -21%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change can be expressed by the formula;

(new price -old price)/old price * 100%

New price = £150

old price = £189

Inputing these values in the formula, we have;

(150-189)/189 * 100%

-39/189 * 100%

= -20.63% and that is approximately -21%

Jessica decides to mix grades of gasoline in her truck. She puts in 8 gallons of regular and 8 gallons of premium for a total cost of $41.04. If premium gasoline costs $0.21 more per gallon than regular, what was the price of each grade of gasoline?

Answers

Answer:

The price of the regular gasoline is $2.46, while the premium is $2.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of regular gasoline be "x", while the price for the premium be "y", The sum of the amount of each type of gas multiplied by its cost should be equal to the total paid, therefore:

[tex]8*x + 8*y = 41.04[/tex]

We also know that the premium gas costs 0.21 more than the regular one, therefore:

[tex]y = x + 0.21[/tex]

We can apply the second expression on the first, in order to solve for "x".

[tex]8*x + 8*(x + 0.21) = 41.04\\8*x + 8*x + 1.68 = 41.04\\16*x = 41.04 - 1.68\\16*x = 39.36\\x = \frac{39.36}{16} = 2.46[/tex]

[tex]y = 2.46 + 0.21 = 2.67[/tex]

The price of the regular gasoline is $2.46, while the premium is $2.67.

The total cost of a pair of jeans and three shirts is $114. The shirts each cost the same amount, and the jeans are $45.

What is the price per shirt?

a.) $69
b.) $23
c.) $53
d.) $159

Answers

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

j = jeans

s = shirt

j + 3s = 114

jeans = 45

45+ 3s = 114

Subtract 45 from each side

45-45+3s = 114-45

3s =69

Divide each side by 3

3s/3 =69/3

s = 23

Each shirt is 23

Answer:

b.) 23

Step-by-step explanation:

114-45=69

i) 12,-3b,......sixth term

ii) 3,-1/3,..........;8th term?

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To solve terms involving Geometric progressions (GPs), we would first state the variables that are to be incorporated in the formula.

i) 12,-3b,......;sixth term

1st term = a= 12

r = common ratio = 2nd term /1st term

r = -3b/12 = -b/4

Then we would find the nth term

See attachment for details

ii) 3,-1/3,..........;8th term

1st term = a= 3

r = common ratio = 2nd term /1st term

r = (-⅓)/3 = (-⅓)(⅓) = -1/9

Then we would find the nth term

See attachment for details

2) we are to determine the sixth term in (i) and eight term in (ii)

See attachment for details

Sixth term= (-3b^5)/256

Eight term = -1/1594323

What is the approximate value of tan C?
B
13.93
5
13

Answers

Answer:

B you need to plug it in the calculator

The approximate value of tan C is 0.38 (Option D).

To find the approximate value of tangent (tan) of angle C, we can use the given side lengths of the right-angled triangle ABC:

Hypotenuse (c) = 13.93

Base (b) = 13

Height (a) = 5

The tangent of angle C is defined as the ratio of the height (a) to the base (b):

tan C = a / b

tan C = 5 / 13

Now, let's calculate the approximate value of tan C:

tan C ≈ 0.3846

Among the given options (0.36, 0.93, 2.6, 0.38), the closest approximation to the value of tan C is option D: 0.38.

Therefore, the approximate value of tan C is 0.38.

Wes mixed different juices to make fruit punch. He filled one-half of the punch bowl with orange juice. Then he filled half of the remaining space with grape juice. Finally, he filled the rest of the punch bowl with 300 mL300\text{ mL}300 mL300, space, m, L of cherry juice. How many liters of fruit punch did Wes make?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total punch bowl be = P

Portion of Orange juice = ½ of total punch bowl

= ½ × P = P/2

Portion of grape = ½ of the remaining space

Remaining space = P - P/2 = P/2

Portion of grape = ½ × P/2 = P/4

The rest of the punch bowl is for cherry = 300mL

P/2 - P/4 = 300

(2P - P)/4 = 300

P/4 = 300

P = 300×4

P = 1200mL

1mL = 10^(-3)L

P = 1.2 ×10³ × 10^(-3)L

P = 1.2L

Wes made 1.2liters of fruit punch.
