Answer:

5^{10} \cdot 5^{-7} = 5^3

\frac{5^{10}}{5^{-7}} = 5^{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

You have two equations:

5^a \cdot 5^b = 5^3

\frac{5^a}{5^b} = 5^{17}

But since

x^a \cdot x^b = x^{a+b}

you only need to solve a+b = 3 and a-b=17

Rewrite the second as a = 17+b and plug it into the first:

17+b + b = 3, then you find, 2b = -14, so b = -7.

Then a=3-b, so a = 10.

Happy Tuesday! Looking for some help with my geometry.
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Q1

  • cos 59° = x/16
  • x = 16 cos 59°
  • x = 8.24

Q2

BC is given 23 mi

<u>Maybe AB is needed</u>

  • AB = √34² + 23² = 41 (rounded)

Q3

  • BC² = AB² - AC²
  • BC = √(37² - 12²) = 35

Q4

Let the angle is x

  • cos x = 19/20
  • x = arccos (19/20)
  • x = 18.2° (rounded)

Q5

See attached

Added point D and segments AD and DC to help with calculation

  • BC² = BD² + DC² = (AB + AD)² + DC²

<u>Find the length of added red segments</u>

  • AD = AC cos 65° = 14 cos 65° = 5.9
  • DC = AC sin 65° = 14 sin 65° = 12.7

<u>Now we can find the value of BC</u>

  • BC² = (19 + 5.9)² + 12.7²
  • BC = √781.3
  • BC = 28.0 yd

<em>All calculations are rounded</em>

Under his cell phone plan, Noah pays a flat cost of $44
suter [353]

Answer:

$44 + $5x < $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Noah must pay $44 up front, monthly; this is represented by the y-intercept of the straight line graph of the cost function.  He pays $5 per gigabyte.  The total monthly cost to him is

C(x) = $44 + ($5/gigabyte)x which must be less than $50/month.  Symbolically, this is

$44 + $5x < $50, which is the same as the last of the the four given possible answer choices.
