If a numser has an even exponent can it ever be negative when it is simplified?
Explain.​

Answers

Answer 1
Note the pattern: A negative number taken to an even power gives a positive result (because the pairs of negatives cancel), and a negative number taken to an odd power gives a negative result (because, after cancelling, there will be one minus sign left over).
Answer 2

Answer: No, it can never be negative.

==================================================

Explanation:

Consider the expression x^2

If x were some negative number, say x = -3, then

x^2 = (-3)^2 = 9 which is a positive result.

Picking any negative number for x will make x^2 positive.

We can think of it like this

(-3)^2 = (-3)*(-3) = 9

The two negatives multiply to a positive.

This also happens with exponents 4,6,8, etc. Any even exponent will have an even number of negative signs, all of which cancel out.

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{ \bold {\huge{ \text{30 \: cm}}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \star{ \sf{ \underline{ \: \: Given}}}[/tex]

Area of a rectangle ( A ) = 36 cm²

Width of a rectangle ( w ) = 3 cm

[tex] \star{ \sf{ \underline{ \: \: To \: Find}}}[/tex] :

Perimeter of a rectangle ( P ) = ?

First, finding the length of a rectangle ( l ) :

[tex] \boxed{\text{area \: of \: a \: rectangle = length ∗ width}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{36 = length \times 3}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{36 = 3 \: length}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{3 \: length = 36}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{3 \: length}{3} = \frac{36}{3} }}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{length = 12 \: cm}}[/tex]

Length of a rectangle = 12 cm

Now, finding the perimeter of a rectangle having length of 12 cm and width of 3 cm

[tex] \boxed{ \text{perimeter \: of \: a \: rectangle = 2(l + w)}}[/tex]

[tex] { \sf{perimeter \: of \: a \: rectangle = 2(12 + 3)}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{perimeter \: of \: rectangle = 2 \times 15}}[/tex]

[tex] \dashrightarrow{ \sf{perimeter \: of \: rectangle = 30 \: cm}}[/tex]

Perimeter of a rectangle = 30 cm

Hope I helped!

Ryan is trying a low-carbohydrate diet. He would like to keep the amount of carbs consumed in grams between the levels shown in the following compound inequality: 110 < 2x + 10 and 2x + 10 < 310 Solve for x in this inequality, and explain what the answer represents.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]50<x<150[/tex]

Ryan would like to eat more than 50 carbs per day, but no more than 150 carbs per day.

So, Ryan's total carb intake must be between 50 and 150 carbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

So he wants to keep his consumption of carbs between the inequalities:

[tex]110<2x+10\text{ and } 2x+10<310[/tex]

So, let's solve both inequalities.

1)

[tex]110<2x+10[/tex]

Subtract 10 from both sides:

[tex]100<2x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2:

[tex]50<x[/tex]

2)

[tex]2x+10<310[/tex]

Subtract 10 from both sides:

[tex]2x<300[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2:

[tex]x<150[/tex]

So, our inequality is now:

[tex]110<2x+10\text{ and } 2x+10<310[/tex]

Since we solved the equations:

[tex]50<x\text{ and } x<150[/tex]

Written as a compound inequality, this is:

[tex]50<x<150[/tex]

In other words, Ryan would like to eat more than 50 carbs per day, but no more than 150 carbs per day.

So, Ryan's total carb intake must be between 50 and 150 carbs.

SOMEONE PLS HELP ME ASAPPP: The odometer of a vehicle tells you how far it has traveled in its lifetime. The "trip odometer" can be reset at any time to tell you the length of a particular trip. Suppose the main odometer of a new car is at 467 miles and the trip odometer is at 22 miles. How many more miles do you have to travle before the main odometer is precisely two times the trip odometer?​

Answers

Answer:

              423 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

x  - the miles to travel

467+x  - the main odometer after x miles travel

22+x   - the trip odometer after x miles travel

2(22+x)    - two times the trip odometer after x miles travel

2(22+x) = 467 + x

44 + 2x = 467 + x

     - 44       -44

     2x = 423 + x

    -x       -x

     x = 423
