Please number your responses to the questions as they are shown (1, 2a, and 2b). A student in your class says the following.

"I'm having a hard time with this lesson, because the rules for rational exponents are so different than the rules for integer exponents."

Write a response to your classmate's comment. State whether you agree or disagree with the comment and why.

a. Choose one of the rules for rational exponents. Explain it to your classmate using complete sentences.

b. Create a problem and use it to show your classmate how your strategy works. Use complete sentences in your explanation.
To clarify, a response of "I agree with her" or "I disagree with her" will earn no credit.

The question is, are the rules for rational exponent and integer exponents "so different" and, WHY.

I would focus on the product, quotient or power of powers rules for both part 1 and 2, and compare the two in the course (the rational and integer rules).

m a t h w a y. c o m

step-by-step explanation:

i think the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

not 100% sure though.

9) i can't see the angle so whatever it is just do this: cos(angle) x hypotenuse and then use that answer and they hypotenuse and plug it into this: (answer you just got)^2 + b^2 = (hypotenuse)^2. the first answer will be the answer of the adjacent side and the second answer after this equation will be the opposite side.

10) y = 14 x = √147 or 12.12435565

11) x = 4.8

12) x = 4.2

13) x = 9.3

14) pq: 13.2

qr : 17.6

angle p: 53º

15) angle c: 54.3º

angle a: 35.7º

16) h = 21040

v = 1841

step-by-step explanation:

10) 7/sin(30) = 14 = y

7^2 + b^2 = 14^2

49 + b^2 = 196

b^2 = 196 - 49

√b^2 = √147

x = √147

11) cos(70) x 14 = 4.788282007

x = 4.8

12) tan(25) x 9 = 4.196768923

x = 4.2

13) sin(31) x 18 = 9.270685348

x = 9.3

14) pq: sin(37) x 22 = 13.23993051

pq: 13.2

qr: cos(37) x 22 = 17.56998122

qr : 17.6

angle p: 180 - (37 + 90) = 53º

15) cos-1(7/12) = 54.31466529

angle c: 54.3º

angle a: 180 - (90 + 54.31466529) = 35.68533471

angle a: 35.7º

16) 4 x 5280 = 21120

cos(5) x 21120

h = 21039.63202

h = 21040

sin(5) x 21120

v = 1840.729287

v = 1841
