Answer:

  -6

Step-by-step explanation:

A suitable calculator can find this for you directly.

-1 raised to an odd power is -1. That means an odd-index root of a negative number will be the opposite of the corresponding root of its absolute value:

  ∛(-216) = -∛216 = -6

Many calculators and spreadsheets do not respond well to requests for roots of negative numbers. A calculator with built-in support for complex numbers is the best choice for this sort of problem.

The second attachment shows a calculator capable of finding the complex roots as well as the real one.

The equivalent to the quotient shown in the task content for acceptable values of x is; √(5/(x-1)).

It follows from the task content that the expression given is; √(25(x-1)) ÷ √(5(x-1)²).

It therefore follows from the the laws of indices that the evaluation is thus;

= √{(25/5) ×(x-1)/(x-1)²}.

Ultimately, upon evaluation we have;

= √(5/(x-1))

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle with one acute angle measuring 30° is the 30°-60°-90° "special" triangle. The ratios of its side lengths are well known to be ...

  1 : √3 : 2

In the given triangle, the longest side is labeled 10, so is 5 times the measure of the longest side in the ratios given above. Multiplying those ratio values by 5, we have side lengths ...

  a : b : c = 5 : 5√3 : 10

That is ...

  a = 5

  b = 5√3

__

Additional comment

If you want to figure the side lengths using trigonometry, you have ...

  a = c·sin(30°) = 10·(1/2) = 5

  b = c·cos(30°) = 10·(√3/2) = 5√3

The true statement is that Alex is 50% taller than Dan.

They both measured themselves against a tree in their backyard.

Therefore, the tree is 80% taller than Dan and 20% taller than Alex.

Hence,

let

Dan height = x

Tree's height = x + 0.8x

Tree's height = 1.8x

let

Alex height = y

Tree's height = y + 0.2y

Tree's height = 1.2y

Therefore, if we use Dan height as 100, the height of the tree will be 180.

Then,

180 = 1.2y

y = 150

This means Alex is 50 percent taller than Dan.

Answer:

1.The slope intercept- form of the function is:

y = x -2

2.The predicted length of the vine after 53 days is 51 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the [tex]\frac{change in length}{change in days}[/tex]  

In the table, every time that the length increased by 5, the days also increased by 5.  5/5 = 1

Now we have to find the y-intercept, we can use the slope and one of the points that we know to do this.  Let's use the first point (5,3). This is in the form (x,y).

y = mx + b

3 = (1)(5) + b

3 = 5 + b   Subtract both sides by 5

-2 = b  Now we can write the equation

y = mx + b

y = x -2.  Plug 53 in for x and you will find your second answer.

y = 53 - 2

y = 51

1. The function's slope intercept form is y = x -2.

2. The vine should be 51 cm long in length after 53 days.

Determining the Slope Intercept Form:

The slope is given as,

m = (Change in length) / (Change in days)

In the table, it can be seen that,

The days climbed by 5 for every 5 that the length did as well [10-5 = 8-3 = 5].

∴ Slope, m =5/5 = 1

We may use the slope and one of the points we are familiar with to help us find the y-intercept. Utilizing the first point (5,3), this is how it looks for the point (x, y),

y = mx + c ..... (1)

3 = (1)(5) + c

3 = 5 + c

Subtract 5 from both sides to get c.

c = -2

Hence, from (1), the slope intercept form is given as,

y = x - 2 ...... (2)

Predicting the Vine Length:

Since x represents the number of days, put x = 53 in equation (2) to predict the vine length after 53 days.

y = (53) -2

y = 51 cm

Thus, the length of vine after 53 days would be 51 cm.

The simple interest rate that the money would be paid is 20%

From the question, we are to determine the interest rate that the money would be paid

Using the formula for simple interest,

S.I = PRT/100

Where S.I is the simple interest

P is the principal

R is the rate

and T is the time

From the given information,

P = 2000

S.I = Amount - Principal = 3600 - 2000 = 1600

R = ?

T = 4

Putting the parameters into the equation, we get

1600 = (2000 ×R × 4) / 100

1600 = 20 × R × 4

The value of the modulus function |-3| is 3.

'Modulus' exists a Latin word, which signifies 'measure'. Absolute value is commonly referred to as numeric value or magnitude. The absolute value designates only the numeric value and does not contain the sign of the numeric value. The modulus of any vector quantity exists ever taken as positive and exists in its absolute value.

The absolute value (or modulus) | x | of a real number x stands as the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign.

For example, the absolute value of 5 stands at 5, and the absolute value of −5 exists also at 5. The absolute value of a number may be considered as its distance from zero along a real number line.

Solving a system of equations we will see that they sold 80 adult tickets.

To solve this, we need to solve a system of equations. To define said systems of equations, we first need to define the variables, we will use:

They sold 20 more adult tickets than student tickets, then:

x = y + 20

And they collected a total of $880, then:

x*$8 + y*$4 = $880

The the system of equations is:

x = y + 20

x*$8 + y*$4 = $880

Isolating y on the first equation we get:

y = x - 20

Replacing that on the other equation we get:

x*$8 + (x - 20)*$4 = $880

Now let's solve that for x.

x*$12 - $80 = $880

x*$12 = $880 + $80 = $960
