Answer
Answer = 3⁻⁴ = (1/3⁴) = (1/81)
The answer is 3 raised to the power of negative 4 or 3 to the negative 4th power.
Explanation
The law of indices is usually applied when questions that involve same numbers with (different or the same) powers are considered.
When a number carrying a particular power is divided by the same number also carrying another power, the result is that same number raised to the power of the difference between the power of the numerator and the power of the denominator.
It'll be clearer in practice now.
[tex]\frac{3^{-8}}{3^{-4}}=3^{-8\text{ - (-4)}}=3^{-8+4}=3^{-4}[/tex]Hence, the answer is 3 raised to the power of negative 4 or 3 to the negative 4th power.

Eddie brought his DVD set to the secondhand store to sell he was paid for all three DVDs in the set before he left Eddie used $15.70 of his earnings to purchase a pair of headphones had $2.30 remaining which equation can you use to find the amount of money Eddie received for each DVD
15.70(d-3)=2.30
3d-15.70=2.30
15.70d-3=2.30
3(d-15.70)=2.30
Answer:
3d - 15.70 = 2.30
Step-by-step explanation:
We don't know the cost of one DVD, so let's use d to represent this unknown variable. Eddie sold 3 DVDs, so 3 multiplied by d equals his total earnings.
Eddie then used $15.70 of his earnings to buy a pair of headphones. We can represent this by subtracting 15.70 from the total earnings (3d).
After buying/subtracting the price of the headphones from his total earnings, Eddie had $2.30 left over, which can be represented by making 3d - 15.70 equal 2.30.
So, the final equation turns out to be: 3d - 25.70 = 2.30

clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of a drug for treating insomnia in older subjects. before treatment 19 subjects had a mean wake time of 100.0 min after treatment the 19 subjects had a mean wake time of 71.6 min and a standard deviation of 20.4 min assume that the 19 sample value appears to be from a normally distributed population and construct a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean wake time for a population with drug treatment what does the result suggest about the wake time of 100.0 min before the treatment does the drug appears to be effective
We have to calculate a 99% confidence interval for the mean.
The population standard deviation is not known, so we have to estimate it from the sample standard deviation and use a t-students distribution to calculate the critical value.
The sample mean is M=71.6.
The sample size is N=19.
When σ is not known, s divided by the square root of N is used as an estimate of σM:
[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{N}}=\dfrac{20.4}{\sqrt{19}}=\dfrac{20.4}{4.359}=4.68[/tex]The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:
[tex]df=n-1=19-1=18[/tex]The t-value for a 99% confidence interval and 18 degrees of freedom is t=2.878.
The margin of error (MOE) can be calculated as:
[tex]MOE=t\cdot s_M=2.878\cdot4.68=13.471[/tex]Then, the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} LL=M-t\cdot s_M=71.6-13.471=58.129 \\ UL=M+t\cdot s_M=71.6+13.471=85.071 \end{gathered}[/tex]The 99% confidence interval for the mean is (58.129, 85.071). This interval does not include the value 100, so we can conclude that there is statistical evidence that the treatment reduces the mean wake time.
Give me a rhombus ABCD with BC =25 and BD= 30 find AC and the area of ABCD
300 u²
1) Let's start by sketching out this:
2) Since a Rhombus have 4 congruent sides, then we can state that 4 sides are 25 units, and we need to find out the other Diagonal (AC)
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem, to Triangle COD
a² =b² +c²
25² = 15² +c²
625 = 225 + c² subtract 225 from both sides
625-225 = c²
400 = c²
√c² =√400
c =20
2.2) Now, we can calculate the area, applying the formula for the area of a rhombus (the product of its diagonals).
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{D\cdot d}{2} \\ A=\frac{40\cdot30}{2} \\ A=\frac{1200}{2} \\ A\text{ = 600} \end{gathered}[/tex]3) Hence, the answer is 300 u²
Mike is shopping for new clothes. He has a coupon for 20% off of his total purchase. His purchase price before the discount is $68. Let T represent the total cost after the discount. Which equation can be written to model this scenario? Select all that apply.68-0.2(68) = T68 - .20 =T68-20 = T0.8(68) = T0.2(68) =T
ANSWER
68 - 0.2(68) = T
0.8(68) = T
EXPLANATION
The coupon allows for 20% off of his total purchase.
His purchase price before the discount is $68.
To find the price after the discount, we can use two methods:
=> Find 20% of $68 and then subtract from $68 to get T.
That is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 68\text{ - (}\frac{20}{100}\cdot\text{ 68) = T} \\ \Rightarrow\text{ 68 - 0.2(68) = T} \end{gathered}[/tex]=> Subract 20% from a total of 100% and then multiply by $68 to get T.
That is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (100\text{ - 20)\% }\cdot\text{ 68 = T} \\ \Rightarrow\text{ 80\% }\cdot\text{ 68 = T} \\ \Rightarrow\text{ 0.8(68) = T} \end{gathered}[/tex]Those are the two answers.

For example, in one math class, 9 of the 20 students who sat in the back failed the class, but only 3 of the 20 students who sat in the front failed the class. What was the absolute risk of failing the class for students who sat in the back? For students who sat in the front? Give your answers as fractions, proportions, and percents.
Given in the scenario:
a.) 9 of the 20 students who sat in the back failed the class.
b.) 3 of the 20 students who sat in the front failed the class.
A.) The absolute risk of failing the class for students who sat in the back.
In the back, 9 of the 20 students who sat in the back failed the class.
The absolute risk in proportion = 9:20
The absolute risk in fraction = 9/20
The absolute risk in percentage = (9 ÷ 20) x 100 = 0.45 x 100 = 45%
B.) The absolute risk of failing the class for students who sat in the front.
In the front, 3 of the 20 students who sat in the front failed the class.
The absolute risk in proportion = 3:20
The absolute risk in fraction = 3/20
The absolute risk in percentage = (3 ÷ 20) x 100 = 0.15 x 100 = 15%

At 3:00 PM a man 138 cm tall casts a shadow 145 cm long. At the same time, a tall building nearby casts a shadow 188 m long. How tall is the building? Give your answer in meters. (You may need the fact that 100 cm = 1 m.)
A tall man(138cm) casts a shadow of 145cm
A building nearby casts a shadow of 188m
Using the information you have to determine the height of the building.
First step is to convert the units of the height of the man and the length of his shadow from cm to meters:
100cm=1m
So 145cm=1.45m
And 138co=1.38m
Now that the measurements are expressed in the same units you can determine the height shadow ratio of the man and use it to calculate the height of the bulding.
[tex]\frac{\text{height}}{\text{shadow}}=\frac{1.38}{1.45}[/tex]Compare this ratio with the ratio between the heigth/shadow ratio of the building to determine the heigth of the building.
Said height will be symbolized as "x"
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1.38}{1.45}=\frac{x}{188} \\ x=(\frac{1.38}{1.45})188 \\ x=178.92m \end{gathered}[/tex]The building is 178.92m

4y - 6 = 2y + 8how to solve this equation
To solve this equation, we need to collect like terms
To collect like terms, we bring the terms similar to each other to the same side
In this case, the value having y will be brought to same side of the equation
Kindly note that if we are bringing a particular value over the equality sign, then the sign of the value has to change
This means if negative, it becomes positive and if positive, it becomes negative
Proceeding, we have
4y - 2y = 8 + 6
2y = 14
divide both sides by 2
2y/2 = 14/2
y = 7
The value of y in this equation is 7

the discriminant equation How many real solution 4x^2-8x+10=-x^2-5 have?
Answer:
0 real solutions
Explanation:
First, we need to transform the equation into the form:
[tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex]So, the initial equation is equivalent to:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x^2-8x+10=-x^2-5 \\ 4x^2-8x+10+x^2+5=-x^2-5+x^2+5 \\ 5x^2-8x+15=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, the discriminant can be calculated as:
[tex]b^2-4ac[/tex]If the discriminant is greater than 0, the equation has 2 real solutions.
If the discriminant is equal to 0, the equation has 1 real solution
If the discriminant is less than 0, the equation has 0 real solutions
So, in this case, a is 5, b is -8 and c is 15. Then, the discriminant is equal to:
[tex](-8)^2-4\cdot5\cdot15=84-300=-236[/tex]Since the discriminant is less than zero, the equation has 0 real solutions
A straight line l1 with equation 5x - 7 = 0 cuts the x axis at point A. Straight line l2 is perpendicular to straight line l1 and passes through point A. What is the coordinates of point A and the equation of the straight line l2?
Point A has a coordinate of (7/5, 0) while the straight line l2 is represented by the equation y = 0
The coordinates of point AThe equation of line l1 is given as
5x - 7 = 0
It cuts the x-axis at point A
This means that
5A - 7 = 0
Solve for A
5A = 7
So, we have
A = 7/5
Rewrite as
A = (7/5, 0)
The equation of the straight line l2From the question, we have
Lines l1 and l2 are perpendicular lines
The equation 5x - 7 = 0 has no y variable
So, the slope is undefined
The slopes of perpendicular lines are represented as follows
Slope 1 * Slope 2 = -1
So, we have
Slope 2 = -1/Slope 1
This gives
Slope 2 = -1/undefined
Evaluate
Slope 2 = 0
This means that l2 has a slope of 0
The equation of l2 is calculated as
y = m(x - x₁) + y₁
In this case,
A = x₁ and y₁ = 0
So, we have
y = m(x - A)
This gives
y = 0 * (x - 7/5)
Evaluate
y = 0
Hence, the equation of the straight line l2 is y = 0

[tex]\begin{gathered} \sum y=4+4+6+6+8=28 \\ \sum x=1+3+5+7+9=25 \\ \sum xy=(1\cdot4)+(3\cdot4)+(5\cdot6)+(7\cdot6)+(8\cdot9)=160 \\ \sum x^2=1^2+3^2+5^2+7^2+9^2=165^{} \\ (\sum x)^2=25^2=625 \end{gathered}[/tex]Using these values to compute for the values of a and b, we get
[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{(28\cdot165)-(25\cdot160)}{5(165)-625}=\frac{31}{10}=3.1 \\ b=\frac{5(160)-(28\cdot25)}{5(165)-625}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Take note that the problem wants us to reduce the numbers to the nearest tenth. Hence, the linear regression for the given data set is written as
[tex]y=3.1+0.5x[/tex]
