Explain why the square root of a number is defined to be equal to that number to the 1/2 power

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x^(1/2))(x^(1/2)) = x^(1/2 +1/2) = x^1 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of exponents is ...

  (x^a)(x^b) = x^(a+b)

From which ...

  (x^a)(x^a) = x^(a+a) = x^(2a)

So, if we want two identical factors that have a product of x = x^1, then the exponents of those factors will be such that ...

  x^(2a) = x^1

  2a = 1

  a = 1/2

The square root is defined as one of two identical factors that have a product equal to the specified value. That is ...

  (√x)(√x) = x

Above, we have shown that ...

  (x^(1/2))(x^(1/2)) = x

so, we can conclude ...

  √x = x^(1/2)

_____

Additional comment

In like fashion, we can show that the n-th root of a number is the same as that number to the 1/n power. It's really a matter of definition. Since the square of x^(1/2) is x, we call x^(1/2) the square root. It is used commonly enough that it has its own symbol: √x.

Answer 2

Answer:

Squaring and square root are inverses, so one should "undo" the other. That is, squaring the square root of a number results in the number. Using the power of a power rule, you multiply the exponents. Since a number to the first power is itself, the product of the exponents must equal 1. This means that the power of the square root must be the reciprocal of 2, or one half.

The height of the saddle off horse above the base ofa carousel can be modeled 4t by the equation f-rr) : 12 sin ^ r 42, where I represents seconds after the ride started. I How much time does to take for the horse to complete one cycle of motion and return to its starting height. What is the maximum height and the minimum height of the horse's saddle above the base ofthe carousel

Answers

Answer:

(a) The time to complete 1 cycle and return is 16/3

(b) The minimum height is 30 inches and the maximum is 54 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]f(t) = 12\sin(\frac{3\pi}{8}t) + 42[/tex]

Solving (a): Time to complete 1 cycle and return

This implies that we calculate the period.  This is calculated using:

[tex]T = \frac{2\pi}{w}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]w =\frac{3\pi}{8}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]T = \frac{2\pi}{\frac{3\pi}{8}}[/tex]

[tex]T = \frac{2}{\frac{3}{8}}[/tex]

[tex]T = \frac{2*8}{3}[/tex]

[tex]T = \frac{16}{3}[/tex]

Solving (b): The maximum and the minimum height

To do this, we have:

[tex]-1 \le \sin(\theta) \le 1[/tex]

Which means:

[tex]-1 \le \sin(\frac{3\pi}{8}) \le 1[/tex]

So, the minimum is:

[tex]\sin(\frac{3\pi}{8}) =- 1[/tex]

And the maximum is:

[tex]\sin(\frac{3\pi}{8}) =1[/tex]

Recall that the height is:

[tex]f(t) = 12\sin(\frac{3\pi}{8}t) + 42[/tex]

So, the maximum and the minimum of  are:

[tex]h_{min} =12 * -1 + 42[/tex]

[tex]h_{min} =30[/tex]

and

[tex]h_{max} =12*1+42[/tex]

[tex]h_{max} =54[/tex]

Answer:

  20%

Step-by-step explanation:

100 mL of the drink is coffee

The total amount of drink is 100 mL +400 mL = 500 mL. Then the fraction that is coffee is ...

  coffee/total = (100 mL)/(500 mL) = 1/5 = 1/5 × 100% = 20%

c-(7/2x,7/2y)
d-(7x,7y)

Answers

Given:

The diagram of triangle DEF and triangle D'E'F' on a coordinate plan.

To find:

The algebraic representation of the dilation.

Solution:

The vertices of triangle DEF are D(0,7), E(7,-7) and F(-7,-7).

The vertices of triangle D'E'F' are D'(0,2), E(2,-2) and F(-2,-2).

We know that, the dilation factor is:

[tex]k=\dfrac{x\text{ or }y\text{ coordinate of the dilated point}}{x\text{ or }y\text{ coordinate of the corresponding original point}}[/tex]

For point D' the y-coordinate is 7 and for point D the y-coordinate is 2. So,

[tex]k=\dfrac{2}{7}[/tex]

The rule of dilation is:

[tex](x,y)\to \left(kx,ky\right)[/tex]

[tex](x,y)\to \left(\dfrac{2}{7}x,\dfrac{2}{7}y\right)[/tex]

The algebraic representation of the dilation is [tex]\left(\dfrac{2}{7}x,\dfrac{2}{7}y\right)[/tex].

Therefore, the correct option is b.

F
7 cm
EH = 6.00 cm
FG = 4.00 cm
5 cm
G
6 cm
H

Answers

Answer:

a. 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

EH = 6 cm

FG = 4.00 cm

Based on the mid-segment theorem of a trapezoid, we have:

EH = ½(FG + DI)

Plug in the values

6 = ½(4 + DI)

Multiply both sides by 2

6*2 = 4 + DI

12 = 4 + DI

12 - 4 = 4 + DI - 4

8 = DI

DI = 8 cm

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\cos(2\, x) = 1 - 2\, (\sin(x))^2[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle sum identity for cosine: [tex]\cos(a + b) = \cos(a) \, \cos(b) - \sin(a) \, \sin(b)[/tex].

Pythagorean identity: [tex](\cos(a))^{2} + (\sin(a))^{2} = 1[/tex] for all real [tex]a[/tex].

Subtract [tex](\cos(x))^{2}[/tex] from both sides of the Pythagorean identity to obtain: [tex](\sin(a))^{2} = 1 - (\cos(a))^{2}[/tex].

Apply angle sum identity to rewrite [tex]\cos(2\, x)[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}&\cos(2\, x)\\ &= \cos(x + x) \\ &= \cos(x) \, \cos(x) - \sin(x)\, \sin(x) \\ &= (\cos(x))^{2} + (\sin(x))^{2}\end{aligned}[/tex].

[tex](\sin(a))^{2} = 1 - (\cos(a))^{2}[/tex] follows from the Pythagorean identity. Hence, it would be possible to replace the [tex](\cos(x))^{2}[/tex] in the previous expression with [tex](1 - (\sin(x))^{2})[/tex].

[tex]\begin{aligned}&(\cos(x))^{2} - (\sin(x))^{2}\\ &= \left[1 - (\sin(x))^{2}\right] - (\sin(x))^{2} \\ &= 1 - 2\, (\sin(x))^{2} \end{aligned}[/tex].

Conclusion:

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angle subtended at the centre (∅) in radians = 2π/3

Arc length (S) = 10π/3

radius (r) = ?

Required:

Radius (r)

Solution:

Formula for arc length given the central angle in radians is:

S = r∅

Make e the subject of the formula by dividing both sides by ∅

S/∅ = r∅/∅

r = S/∅

Plug in the values

r = (10π/3) / (2π/3)

Change the operation sign to multiplication and turn the fraction by your right upside down

r = 10π/3 × 3/2π

r = (10π × 3)/(3 × 2π)

Cross out terms that can divided each other

r = 5

A marketing research company needs to estimate which of two medical plans its employees prefer.

Identify the point estimate for estimating the true proportion of employees who prefer that plan.
a. 0.403
b. 0.253
c. 0.553
d. 0.15

Answers

Answer:

a. 0.403

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval concepts:

A confidence interval has two bounds, a lower bound and an upper bound.

A confidence interval is symmetric, which means that the point estimate used is the mid point between these two bounds, that is, the mean of the two bounds.

The margin of error is the difference between the two bounds, divided by 2.

Confidence interval of (0.253,0.553)

The bounds are 0.253 and 0.553, so the point estimate is:

[tex]p = \frac{0.253 + 0.553}{2} = 0.403[/tex]

This means that the correct answer is given by option A.

Answers

Answer: Choice C) 31

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

Explanation:

The recursive rule

f(n+1)=f(n)-3

can be rearranged to

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

after adding 3 to both sides

----------------

Now let's say we plug in n = 3

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

f(3) = f(3+1)+3

f(3) = f(4)+3

f(3) = 22+3

f(3) = 25

Repeat for n = 2

f(n) = f(n+1)+3

f(2) = f(2+1)+3

f(2) = f(3)+3

f(2) = 25+3

f(2) = 28

Each time we keep adding 3 to get the previous term (since the original recursive rule says to subtract 3 to get the next term; we just go backwards of what the instructions say).

Lastly, we can find that f(1) = f(2)+3 = 28+3 = 31 making the answer to be choice C.

In Problem, p is in dollars and q is the number of units.
(a) Find the elasticity of the demand function
p2 + 2p + q = 49 at p = 6.
(b) How will a price increase affect total revenue?

Answers

Answer:

-14

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is the degree of change in demand after a change I'm price, basically demand's sensitivity to price change.

Formula for calculating price elasticity is: change in price/change in quantity =dq/dp

Since we are given p²+2p+q=49 and not initial and current amount of price and quantity, we differentiate to find demand elasticity, thus:

2p+2+dq/dp=0

dq/dp=-2p-2

Given p =6, we substitute:

dq/dp=-2×6-2

dq/dp=-12-2

dq/dp=-14

With a demand elasticity of -14 there is an inverse relationship between price and demand. While price increases, demand falls.

What is the slope of the line through the points (-2, -1) and (8, -3)?

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the line is [tex]-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]  in fraction form or -0.2 in decimal form.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the slope of the line, use the rise over run formula. The rise over run formula is a measure of how much something changes vertically compared to how much it changes in the horizontal direction. The rise over run formula calculates the difference between the two points in the vertical direction (rise) and then divide it by the difference in the horizontal direction (run). The formula looks like [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex], but in terms of finding a slope, it looks like [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex].

For finding the slope of this line with the points (-2,-1) and (8,-3), start by writing down the information given from the question.

[tex]y_{2}= -3[/tex]

[tex]y_{1}=-1[/tex]

[tex]x_{2}=8[/tex]

[tex]x_{1}= -2[/tex]

Next, plug in the information given from the question into the formula, and the formula will look like [tex]\frac{-3-(-1)}{8-(-2)}[/tex]. Then, simplify the equation, which will look like [tex]\frac{-2}{10}= -\frac{1}{5}[/tex]. The final answer will be [tex]-\frac{1}{5}[/tex]  in fraction form or -0.2 in decimal form.
