Which number is equivalent to (1/3)^-4


A 81
B −1/81
C −1/12
D 12

Answers

Answer 1
the answer is 81 (a).
Answer 2

The fraction (1/3)⁻⁴ is equal to 81.

Given that:

Fraction: (1/3)⁻⁴

Rewrite the expression by applying the rule that states a negative exponent is equal to the reciprocal of the positive exponent:

(1/3)⁻⁴= 1 / (1/3)⁴

Now, let's simplify (1/3)⁴:

(1/3)⁴ = (1/3) × (1/3) × (1/3) × (1/3)

(1/3)⁴ = 1/81

So, the expression becomes:

1 /(1/3)⁴ = 1 / (1/81)

Now, dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal:

1 / (1/81) = 1 × 81 = 81

Therefore, the fraction (1/3)⁻⁴ is equal to 81.

I found this proof by induction that all people in canada are the same height, i was wondering what is the incorrect step?

Step 1: In any group that consists of just one person, everybody in the group has the same age, because after all there is only one person!
Step 2: Therefore, statement S(1) is true.
Step 3: The next stage in the induction argument is to prove that, whenever S(n) is true for one number (say n=k), it is also true for the next number (that is, n = k+1).
Step 4: We can do this by (1) assuming that, in every group of k people, everyone has the same age; then (2) deducing from it that, in every group of k+1 people, everyone has the same age.
Step 5: Let G be an arbitrary group of k+1 people; we just need to show that every member of G has the same age.
Step 6: To do this, we just need to show that, if P and Q are any members of G, then they have the same age.
Step 7: Consider everybody in G except P. These people form a group of k people, so they must all have the same age (since we are assuming that, in any group of k people, everyone has the same age).
Step 8: Consider everybody in G except Q. Again, they form a group of k people, so they must all have the same age.
Step 9: Let R be someone else in G other than P or Q.
Step 10: Since Q and R each belong to the group considered in step 7, they are the same age.
Step 11: Since P and R each belong to the group considered in step 8, they are the same age.
Step 12: Since Q and R are the same age, and P and R are the same age, it follows that P and Q are the same age.
Step 13: We have now seen that, if we consider any two people P and Q in G, they have the same age. It follows that everyone in G has the same age.
Step 14: The proof is now complete: we have shown that the statement is true for n=1, and we have shown that whenever it is true for n=k it is also true for n=k+1, so by induction it is true for all n.

How to prove Mathematical Induction?

The principle of mathematical induction as follows:

For example, we have a set of natural numbers. Now, suppose that 1 is in the set. Now, we assume that anytime n is in the set, n + 1 is also in the set. Therefore we can say that every natural number is in the set.

The wrong step in the given mathematical Induction is Step 9. This is because;

We might not be to see anyone else in the arbitrary group G other than groups P or Q!

Recall that G is a group of k + 1 people. Thus, provided that k > 1, k + 1 > 2 and that a third person R in G does not exist, then the rest of the proof will work.

The steps above proves that;

S(k) = S(k + 1), for every k > 1.

Thus, we can also say that if S(2) is true, then it equally means S(3) is true and so on till infinity.

From our induction process written so far, we have see that S(1) was true. However, our induction step in the question does not show us that that S(1) = S(2) = true.

So: Thus, from the induction I have done It shows that S(1) not imply S(2) and as a result the proof is fallacious.

Calculate the slope (m) using

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

m = (-1 -0)/(0 + 1)

Evaluate the exponent

m = -1

The equation is then calculated as:

y = mx + c

What is binomial expansion?

Binomial expansion is the expansion of two term expressions such as (a + b)ⁿ where n is a rational number.

What is Pascal's triangle?

Pascal's triangle is atriangle used in determining the coefficients of a binomial expansion.

What is the coefficient of t²s⁵ in the expansion of (2t + s)⁷?

The general term for the expansion (a + b)ⁿ = ∑ⁿCₓaˣbⁿ⁻ˣ.

So, each term is ⁿCₓaˣbⁿ⁻ˣ.

Comparing (a + b)ⁿ with (2t + s)⁷,

a = 2t, b = s and n = 7.

So, its general term is ⁿCₓ(2t)ˣsⁿ⁻ˣ = ⁷Cₓ(2t)ˣsⁿ⁻ˣ

= ⁷Cₓ(2)ˣtˣsⁿ⁻ˣ

So, the coefficient term is ⁷Cₓ(2)ˣ

Now for the term t²s⁵, x = 2.

So, the coeficient term is  ⁷Cₓ(2)ˣ =  ⁷C₂(2)²

Now say you invest the $7,500 and the highest interest rate you can find is 4.5% compounded annually, but you would have to leave the investment in the account for a minimum of 4 years. If you decide to wait 4 years to buy the car, how much more money will you have to save to buy a car at the $9,500 price?  Use the compound interest formula A = P (1 + i)n. (Round final answer to the nearest cent, but otherwise don’t round any intermediate values)

Answers

The amount of money that you will have to save to buy a car at the $9,500 price is $556.11 ($9,500 - $8,943.89).

How is the amount of money needed determined?

The amount of money needed can be determined by calculating the future value of $7,500 invested at 4.5% for 4 years.

Then, the result, which is the future value, $8,943.89, is deducted from the $9,500 price, to determine the additional savings required.

The future value of an investment can be calculated using the future value formula, A = P (1 + i)^n.

Where:

A = future value

P = Present value of investment

i = interest rate

n = number of periods.

The future value can also be determined using an online finance calculator, as follows.

Data and Calculations:

N (# of periods) = 4 years

I/Y (Interest per year) = 4.5%

PV (Present Value) = $7,500

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $0

Results:

FV = $8,943.89

An airplane is heading due north at 700 kph, and a wind blows at 60 kph in the direction s 45° e. what is the plane’s ground speed?

Answers

We can infer and logically deduce that airplane’s ground speed is equal to 658.94 kph.

Given the following data:

Airplane speed = 700 kph.Wind speed = 60 kph.Angle = 45° due East.

What is speed?

Speed can be defined as the distance covered by an object per unit of time. Thus, speed can be measured in kilometer per hour (kph).

Mathematically, speed can be calculated by using this formula;

Speed = distance/time

How to calculate the plane’s ground speed?

In order to calculate the airplane’s ground speed, we would apply the law of cosine:

C² = A² + D² - 2(A)(D)cosθ

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

C² = 700² + 60² - 2(700)(60)cos45

C² = 434,203.03

C = √434,203.03

C = 658.94 kph.

In conclusion, we can infer and logically deduce that airplane’s ground speed is equal to 658.94 kph.

Original price (price without profit) :

let x be the original price of the device.

x + x × 20% = 5760

Then

x = (5 760×100)÷120

  = 4 800

Original price increased by 30% :

4 800 + 4 800×30%

The function f(x) is defined to pass through points (-7, 3) and (-3, -2).

Two solutions to f(x) are (-7, 3) and (-3, -2).

We could identify other solutions, (1, -7) for example, but there is no need since the problem statement already gives us two solutions.

Part C.

The solution to the equation p(x) = g(x) can be read from the graph as approximately (4.074, 1.032). This is close to the point (4, 1) that is used to define p(x). With some refinement (iteration), we can show the irrational solution is closer to ...

Answer:

A)  (-3, -2)

B)  (1, -7) and (5, -12)

C)  (4, 1) to the nearest whole number

Step-by-step explanation:

Function g(x):

[tex]g(x)=2(0.85)^x[/tex]

Function f(x) (straight line):

Given ordered pairs:

Let (x₁, y₁) = (-7, 3)Let (x₂, y₂) = (-3, -2)

Calculate the slope of the straight line:

[tex]\textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{-2-3}{-3-(-7)}=-\dfrac{5}{4}[/tex]

Using the Point-slope form of linear equation:

[tex]\implies y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]\implies y-3=-\dfrac{5}{4}(x-(-7))[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=-\dfrac{5}{4}x-\dfrac{23}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(x)=-\dfrac{5}{4}x-\dfrac{23}{4}[/tex]

Function p(x) (straight line):

Given ordered pairs:

Let (x₁, y₁) = (4, 1)Let (x₂, y₂) = (-3, -2)

Calculate the slope of the straight line:

[tex]\textsf{slope}\:(m)=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{-2-1}{-3-4}=\dfrac{3}{7}[/tex]

Using the Point-slope form of linear equation:

[tex]\implies y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]\implies y-1=\dfrac{3}{7}(x-4)[/tex]

[tex]\implies y=\dfrac{3}{7}x-\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\implies p(x)=\dfrac{3}{7}x-\dfrac{5}{7}[/tex]

Part A

We have been given two ordered pairs for function f(x) and function p(x).

One of those ordered pairs is the same for both functions.  

The solution to a pair of equations is their point(s) of intersection.  

Therefore, as both functions pass through (-3, -2), this is their point of intersection and therefore the solution.

Part B

The solutions for f(x) are any points on the line of the function f(x).  

To find any two points, substitute values of x into the found equation for f(x):

[tex]\implies f(1)=-\dfrac{5}{4}(1)-\dfrac{23}{4}=-7[/tex]

[tex]\implies f(5)=-\dfrac{5}{4}(5)-\dfrac{23}{4}=-12[/tex]

Therefore, two solutions are (1, -7) and (5, -12).

Part C

The solution to p(x) = g(x) is where the two graphs intersect.  From inspection of the graphs, p(x) intersects g(x) at approximately (4, 1).  

Therefore, the approximate solution to p(x) = g(x) is (4, 1).

To prove this, substitute x = 4 into the equations for p(x) and g(x):

[tex]\implies p(4)=\dfrac{3}{7}(4)-\dfrac{5}{7}=1[/tex]

[tex]\implies g(4)=2(0.85)^4=1.0440125=1.0\:(\sf nearest\:tenth)[/tex]

The actual solution to p(x) = g(x) is (4.074, 1.032) to three decimal places, which can be found by equating the functions and solving for x using a numerical method such as iteration.

Prepare a grid with magic number 30. You can choose any set of numbers in sequence but the numbers should not be repeated.

Answers

The grid of numbers with a row and column sum of 30 is

3   15  12

17   11   2

10  4   16

How to prepare the grid?

The grid in the question has a row sum and column sum of 15

The question implies that we create a similar grid with a row sum and column sum of 30

Represent the grid as follows:

a    b   c

d    e    f

g   h    j

So, we have the following sum of rows

a + b + c = 30

d + e + f = 30

g + h + j = 30

And, we have the following sum of rows

a + d + g = 30

b + e + h = 30

c + f + j = 30

Using trial by error, we have:

3 + 15+ 12  = 30

17 + 11 + 2 = 30

10 + 4 + 16 = 30

When the columns are added, we have

3 + 17 + 10 = 30

15 + 11 + 4 = 30

12 + 2 + 16 = 30

Hence, the grid of numbers is

3   15  12

17   11   2

(Use the button on your calculator) The War of the Worldsby H. G. Wells [1898] But who shall dwell in these worlds if they be inhabited?Are we or they Lords of the World?And how are all things made for man? KEPLER (quoted in The Anatomy of Melancholy)BOOK ONE: THE COMING OF THE MARTIANSCHAPTER ONE: THE EVE OF THE WAR, excerptNo one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment.Yet so vain is man, and so blinded by his vanity, that no writer, up to the very end of the nineteenth century, expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there far, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level. Nor was it generally understood that since Mars is older than our earth, with scarcely a quarter of the superficial area and remoter from the sun, it necessarily follows that it is not only more distant from time's beginning but nearer its end.The secular cooling that must someday overtake our planet has already gone far indeed with our neighbour. Its physical condition is still largely a mystery, but we know now that even in its equatorial region the midday temperature barely approaches that of our coldest winter. Its air is much more attenuated than ours, its oceans have shrunk until they cover but a third of its surface, and as its slow seasons change huge snowcaps gather and melt about either pole and periodically inundate its temperate zones. That last stage of exhaustion, which to us is still incredibly remote, has become a present-day problem for the inhabitants of Mars. The immediate pressure of necessity has brightened their intellects, enlarged their powers, and hardened their hearts. And looking across space with instruments, and intelligences such as we have scarcely dreamed of, they see, at its nearest distance only 35,000,000 of miles sunward of them, a morning star of hope, our own warmer planet, green with vegetation and grey with water, with a cloudy atmosphere eloquent of fertility, with glimpses through its drifting cloud wisps of broad stretches of populous country and narrow, navy-crowded seas.And we men, the creatures who inhabit this earth, must be to them at least as alien and lowly as are the monkeys and lemurs to us. The intellectual side of man already admits that life is an incessant struggle for existence, and it would seem that this too is the belief of the minds upon Mars. Their world is far gone in its cooling and this world is still crowded with life, but crowded only with what they regard as inferior animals. To carry warfare sunward is, indeed, their only escape from the destruction that, generation after generation, creeps upon them.Read this line from The War of the Worlds:It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed daysWhat does this line from the text suggest about people?
