What is \( \frac{-7a^5}{7a^4} \)?
To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
\( \frac{-7a^5}{7a^4} \)
\( \frac{-7}{7} \) a(5 - 4)
-a
Which of the following is a difference between a circuit breaker and a fuse?
all of these
Like fuses, circuit breakers stop current flow once it reaches a certain amount. They have the advantage of being reusable (fuses must be replaced when "blown") but respond more slowly to current surges and are more expensive than fuses.
Which of the following indicates the correct reproductive sequence?
ovum → zygote → fetus
During intercourse, the penis ejaculates sperm, produced in the testes, into the vagina. Some of the sperm makes their way to the uterus where, if they encounter an egg to fertilize, unite with the ovum to form a fertilized egg or zygote. The zygote then may implant in the uterus and eventually develop into a fetus.
Coolant is circulated through the engine by the:
water pump
The water pump is driven by a belt connected to the crankshaft and ensures that coolant moves through the engine and radiator.
The firing order of the cylinders in an engine can be found by:
observing the order in which the intake valves open
The firing order of the cylinders in an engine is different than the cynlinder numbers and can be found by observing the order in which the intake valves open.
A welding rod provides:
the joining material for a weld
The joining material for a weld is called a welding or filler rod and is available in a variety of diameters and alloys for different welding tasks.
Which of the following is not a purpose of a resistor in an electrical circuit?
multiply the current in the circuit
Resistors can be chosen in a wide variety of values to control the voltage in a circuit, limit the current, or moderate the heat produced by the components in the circuit.
This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.
commutative
The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
