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
The primary difference between a claw and a ball-peen hammer is which of the following?
their non-striking end
The most common striking tool is the hammer and the most common variety of hammer is the claw hammer. The claw hammer has two ends, one to drive nails and one to remove nails. Ball-peen hammers replace the claw with a rounded end that's used to round off the edges of metal pins and make gaskets.
What is \( \sqrt{\frac{16}{4}} \)?
To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:
\( \sqrt{\frac{16}{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4^2}}{\sqrt{2^2}} \)
\( \frac{4}{2} \)

Which of the following allows encapsulating complex circuit designs for easier integration into electronic devices and machines?
integrated circuits
Circuits containing transistors are packaged into integrated circuit chips that allow encapsulating complex circuit designs (CPU, memory, I/O) for easier integration into electronic devices and machines.
A tiger in a zoo has consumed 143 pounds of food in 11 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 195 pounds?
If the tiger has consumed 143 pounds of food in 11 days that's \( \frac{143}{11} \) = 13 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 195 - 143 = 52 more pounds of food to reach 195 pounds total. At 13 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{52}{13} \) = 4 more days.
Which of the following is not a method of heat transfer?
reflection
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments through conduction, convection, or radiation.
