You would measure the amount of voltage between two points in a circuit with a(n):
voltmeter
Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. A voltmeter is used to measure the voltage between two points in a circuit.
Convert x-3 to remove the negative exponent.
To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.
Which of the following is igneous rock?
granite
The Earth's rocks fall into three categories based on how they're formed. Igneous rock (granite, basalt, obsidian) is formed from the hardening of molten rock (lava), sedimentary rock (shale, sandstone, coal) is formed by the gradual despositing and cementing of rock and other debris, and metamorphic rock (marble, slate, quartzite) which is formed when existing rock is altered though pressure, temperature, or chemical processes.
What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 18?
The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:
c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 18)
c = 36π
Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:
factoring
To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
An amplifier is most similar in function to which of the following:
step-up transformer
An amplifier is a device that takes a small input signal and creates a larger output signal. This makes it most similar to a step-up transformer which takes a smaller input voltage and creates a larger output voltage.
You're constructing a cabinet in your workshop and one of the cabinet doors is slightly too big. Which of the following tools would you use to make it fit?
plane
In wooodworking, a plane is used to shave off a small amount of material to smooth a surface or make it fit properly. A jack plane is a general purpose plane that contains an adjustable depth blade set at an angle with a handle and knob to allow gripping when sliding the plane across wood.
