Consider the table of the powers of 8. A 1-column table with 6 rows. Column 1 is labeled Power of 8 with entries 8 cubed = 512, 8 squared = 64, 8 Superscript 1 = 8, 8 Superscript 0 = a, 8 Superscript negative 1 = b, 8 Superscript negative 2 = c.

Answer these questions about the powers of 8.

What is the pattern as the exponents decrease?

What is the value of each variable in the table?
a =
b =
c =

apex answer is: true.

4. satellites sputnik, yeltsin, and plekov often temporarily line up in order in a great circle. the circumference of the earth is 24,900 miles, and the satellites orbit at about 150 miles above the surface. if, while in a great circle, sputnik is 9,000 miles from yeltsin, and yeltsin is 10,500 miles from plekov, how far apart are sputnik and plekov?

answer: b  

6,342 miles
