Consider the table of the powers of 8. A 1-column table with 6 rows. Column 1 is labeled Power of 8 with entries 8 cubed = 512, 8 squared = 64, 8 Superscript 1 = 8, 8 Superscript 0 = a, 8 Superscript negative 1 = b, 8 Superscript negative 2 = c.

Answer these questions about the powers of 8.

What is the pattern as the exponents decrease?

What is the value of each variable in the table?
a =
b =
c =

22 and 22

step-by-step explanation:

10 plus 12 equals 22.

12 plus 10 also equals 22 because regardless of what order they're in, they're gonna equal the same thing.

16.9 times 2.85

step-by-step explanation:

2/3

step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is equal to the rise/run. in this case the line rises 2 units for every +3 units it moves

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
