Math question: Why is x^-1/2 = 1/√x?
I don't understand the rules of this, the reciprocal rule. How is it done?
I know that x^1/2= √x, so is 3^1/2 = √x? But how is this equation done?
3 AnswersMathematics8 years agoPlease grade my SAT practice essay.?
This is my first practice essay. Please point out my errors and suggest ways that I can improve. Thank you so much.
I tried to emulate the Intro-Ex1-Ex2-Ex3-Conclusion format, and clearly that didn't work out so well for me as I didn't seem to finish my essay in time. Hopefully, with practice I can improve on that. Or do you suggest that I change my format to Intro-Ex1-Ex2-Conclusion?
Excerpt: To change is to risk something, making us feel insecure. Not to change is a bigger risk,though we seldom feel that way. There is no choice but to change. People, however, cannot be motivated to change from the outside. All of our motivation comes from within.
Assignment: What motivates people to change?
Change is inevitable. Whether we want to change or not, it is something that will eventually happen with time. The factor that motivates people to seek this catalyst before its eventual time is the hope for a better future. Three archetypes that demonstrates hope as the motivation for change can be found in F. Scott Fitzgerald's the Great Gatsby, George Orwell's Animal Farm and in US President Obama's campaign platform.
In the Great Gatsby, the epynymous of the novel, Jay Gatsby sough change in the hopes of impressing and gaining love from his previous paramour, Daisy Buchanan. Jay Gatsby went to the extremes of changing his background, career, and status in order to win over Daisy Buchanan. Although his efforts was futile, the reason Jay seeked change was for the hope that he will one day be reunited with Daisy, thus illustrating the hope for a better future as the motivation for change.
Another literary novel that exemplifies hope as the motivation for change can be found in George Orwell's Animal Farm. The animals started the Rebellion against the owner of the farm, Mr Jones, because they had a notion that with Mr Jones gone, there will be an idealistic and peaceful soceity amongst the animals. Hope was the foundation for the Rebellion seeking change.
In 2008, presidential candidate Barack Obama campaigned with the slogans "Yes, we can" and "Change." Although, the United States is a stable country, this campaign appealed to many voters because the propaganda implied that with change in the nation, there is only

2 AnswersStandards & Testing8 years agoWhich book should I use for SAT prep?
I'll be taking the test in June. I currently own college board's official SAT guide (the blue book), and I was wondering if that was enough or should I get a third party prep?

2 AnswersStandards & Testing8 years agoHow do I criticize this? 20,000 leagues under the sea.?
I finished doing a short criticism on this, but I was asked by my teacher to redo it because she said I gave too much of a personal opinion. Please tell me what points can I focus on and give me some tips? Thanks!
Yes, I love it! The sea is everything. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never alone, for he feels life quivering around him on every side. The sea does not belong to despots. On its surface iniquitous rights can still be exercised, men can fight there, devour each other there, and transport of terrestrial horrors there. But at thirty feet below its level, their power ceases, their influence dies out, their might disappears. Ah, sir, live in the bosom of the waters! There alone is independence! There I recognise no masters! There I am free!
