What is (z5)4?
To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:
(z5)4The measure of how much of the power put into a machine is turned into movement or force is called:
efficiency
The efficiency of a machine describes how much of the power put into the machine is turned into movement or force. A 100% efficient machine would turn all of the input power into output movement or force. However, no machine is 100% efficient due to friction, heat, wear and other imperfections that consume input power without delivering any output.
A capacitor is often used for which of the following purposes?
to maintain power in a circuit when the primary power source is disconnected
Capacitors store electricity and are used in circuits as temporary batteries. Capacitors are charged by DC current (AC current passes through a capacitor) and that stored charge can later be dissipated into the circuit as needed. Capacitors are often used to maintain power within a system when it is disconnected from its primary power source or to smooth out or filter voltage within a circuit.
Friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other is called:
static friction
Static friction is friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other. An example is the friction that prevents a box on a sloped surface from sliding farther down the surface.
When compared to eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells are:
less complex
Cells are classified into one of two groups based on whether or not they have a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and therefore have a less complex structure than eukaryotic cells.
Solve for b:
9b - 9 < \( \frac{b}{5} \)
To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.
9b - 9 < \( \frac{b}{5} \)
5 x (9b - 9) < b
(5 x 9b) + (5 x -9) < b
45b - 45 < b
45b - 45 - b < 0
45b - b < 45
44b < 45
b < \( \frac{45}{44} \)
b < 1\(\frac{1}{44}\)
