Answer:

(b) both powers should be in the denominator with positive exponents

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

a^-b = 1/a^b

The correct simplification is ...

$x^{-3}y^{-9}=\dfrac{1}{x^3}\cdot\dfrac{1}{y^9}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{x^3y^9}}$

Both variables should have positive exponents in the denominator.

A survey was conducted

inna [77]

Answer: 9/25 or 36%

Step-by-step explanation:

72 + 28 + 62 + 38 = 200

There are 200 people in total and 72 are youngsters who like sport cars.

So, the number of youngsters who like cars out of the total number of people is 72/200.

Now, find a greatest common divisor. In this case, the greatest common divisor is 8.

72 / 8 = 9

200 / 8 = 25

9/25 (fraction)

25 * 4 = 100

9 * 4 = 36

36/100 = 36% (percentage)

You get tired of the sand and head up to the amusement park. You can purchase 20 ride tickets for $14 or you can purchase 30 rid

Helga [31]

Answer:

The one with the better deal would be 30 ride tickets for $22.50 this is because you pay less money for more rides.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you divide 20 by 14. Doing this will give you the cost of a ride per ticket.

20/14 = 1.42

Then you do the same thing to 30 and 22.50.

30/22.50 = 1.30

Last you compare which deal has less money per ride.

1.42 > 1.30

Last year, Susan had 10,000 to invest. She invested some of it in an account that paid 6%

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

In the account that paid 6% Susan invest $\$6,000$

In the account that paid 5% Susan invest $\$4,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$I=P(rt)$

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

Part a) account that paid 6% simple interest per year

in this problem we have

$t=1\ years\\ P=\$x\\r=0.06$

substitute in the formula above

$I1=x(0.06*1)$

$I1=0.06x$

Part b) account that paid 5% simple interest per year

in this problem we have

$t=1\ years\\ P=\$10,000-\$x\\r=0.05$

substitute in the formula above

$I2=(10,000-x)(0.05*1)$

$I2=500-0.05x$

we know that

$I1+I2=\$560$

substitute and solve for x

$0.06x+500-0.05x=560$

$0.01x=560-500$

$0.01x=60$

$x=\$6.000$

therefore

In the account that paid 6% Susan invest $\$6,000$

In the account that paid 5% Susan invest $\$4,000$
