How does the volume of an oblique cylinder change if the radius is reduced to 2/9 of its original size and the height is quadrup

Novay_Z [31]

New volume is given by:
New volume=(old volume)×(4×2/9×2/9)
simplifying the above we get:
New volume=(old volume)×16/81
Thus the new volume is 16/81 times the old volume
old volume=πr²h
Hence:
Answer:16/81πr²h

Find the value of w to make the statement true.<br>-w = -10 + 4w

Alinara [238K]

Move variable to the left. -w= -10+ 4W
-w-4W =-10
Collect like terms
-5w=-10 divide both sides by 5

Which statement is true?

love history [14]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The second option,

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

Discarding each given option in order to find the correct one, we have:

<h2>First option,</h2>

$\sqrt[m]{x}\sqrt[m]{y}=\sqrt[2m]{xy}$

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

$\sqrt[m]{x}\sqrt[m]{y}=\sqrt[m]{xy}$

<h2>Second option,</h2>

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

The statement is true, we can prove it by using the following properties of exponents:

$(a^{b})^{c}=a^{bc}$

$\sqrt[n]{x^{m} }=x^{\frac{m}{n} }$

We are given the expression:

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}$

So, applying the properties, we have:

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=(x^{\frac{a}{m}})^{b}=x^{\frac{ab}{m}}\\\\x^{\frac{ab}{m}}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

Hence,

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

<h2>Third option,</h2>

$a\sqrt[n]{x}+b\sqrt[n]{x}=ab\sqrt[n]{x}$

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

$a\sqrt[n]{x}+b\sqrt[n]{x}=(a+b)\sqrt[n]{x}$

<h2>Fourth option,</h2>

$\frac{\sqrt[m]{x} }{\sqrt[m]{y}}=m\sqrt{xy}$

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

$\frac{\sqrt[m]{x} }{\sqrt[m]{y}}=\sqrt[m]{\frac{x}{y} }$

Hence, the answer is, the statement that is true is the second statement:

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

Have a nice day!
