What is the value of the expression 2/4^-3 A. 1/32 B. 1/6 C. 128 D. 256

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its C

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

all you need to do for these is divide 2/4 then an exponent of -3 so I got 8 but that isn't an option...hmmm just a sec

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

nvm, I got 128, so yes, c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cool. ok i have 2 more.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What value of k solves the equation? k^-3 = 1/27 A. -81 B. -9 C. -3 D.

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

okie doke

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh D is 3 which is my answer

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

try c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its D because the decimal for 1/27 and 3^-3 are the same

OpenStudy (k_lynn):

oh ya...if i use a -3, the decimal will probably be -. go with d.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
