Write the expression 44(4–7)(4) using a single exponent.

Ghella [55]

<h3>The given expression as single exponent is:</h3>

$4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{-2}$

Solution:

Given expression is:

$4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4$

In exponents,

When the base is same, exponents can be added

Which means,

$a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$

Therefore,

$4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{4-7+1}\\\\Simplify\\\\4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{-3+1} \\\\4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{-2}$

Thus the given expression as single exponent is:

$4^4 \times 4^{-7} \times 4 = 4^{-2}$

Find the perimeter of the pentagon MNPQR with vertices M(2, 4), N(5, 8), P(8, 4), Q(8, 1), and R(2, 1)

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The pentagon MNPQR has a perimeter of 22 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the perimeter of the pentagon is the sum of the lengths of each side, that is:

$p = MN + NP + PQ + QR + RM$ (1)

$p = \sqrt{\overrightarrow{MN}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{MN}} + \sqrt{\overrightarrow{NP}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{NP}} + \sqrt{\overrightarrow{PQ}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{PQ}} + \sqrt{\overrightarrow{QR}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{QR}} + \sqrt{\overrightarrow{RM}\,\bullet \, \overrightarrow{RM}}$ (1b)

If we know that $M(x,y) = (2,4)$ , $N(x,y) = (5,8)$ , $P(x,y) = (8,4)$ , $Q(x,y) = (8,1)$ and $R(x,y) = (2,1)$ , then the perimeter of the pentagon MNPQR is:

$p =\sqrt{(5-2)^{2}+(8-4)^{2}} + \sqrt{(8-5)^{2}+(4-8)^{2}}+\sqrt{(8-8)^{2}+(1-4)^{2}}+\sqrt{(2-8)^{2}+(1-1)^{2}}+\sqrt{(2-2)^{2}+(4-1)^{2}}$ $p = \sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}} + \sqrt{3^{2}+(-4)^{2}}+\sqrt{0^{2}+(-3)^{2}}+\sqrt{(-6)^{2}+0^{2}}+\sqrt{0^{2}+3^{2}}$
