In general, you make use of the rules of exponents. It can be helpful to understand where they come from.

An exponent signifies repeated multiplication.

x\cdot x\cdot x=x^{3}\qquad\text{the exponent 3 means x is a factor 3 times}

When you multiply, you add exponents.

(x\cdot x\cdot x)\times (x\cdot x)=(x\cdot x\cdot x\cdot x\cdot x)\\\\x^{3}\times x^{2}=x^{(3+2)}=x^{5}

Likewise, when you divide, you subtract exponents. You can also think of this as adding the opposite of exponents that are in the denominator.

\dfrac{x\cdot x\cdot x}{x\cdot x}=\dfrac{x\cdot x}{x\cdot x}\times x=x\\\\\dfrac{x^{3}}{x^{2}}=x^{(3-2)}=x^{1}=x

It should be no surprise then that if there are excess factors in the denominator, they can be expressed using a negative exponent.

\dfrac{x\cdot x}{x\cdot x\cdot x}=\dfrac{1}{x}\\\\\dfrac{x^{2}}{x^{3}}=x^{(2-3)}=x^{-1}\qquad\text{using exponents}

The idea of using multiplication to show repeated addition applies to exponents as well.

(x\cdot x)\times (x\cdot x)\times (x\cdot x)=(x\cdot x\cdot x\cdot x\cdot x\cdot x)\\\\=x^{2}\cdot x^{2}\cdot x^{2}=x^{(2+2+2)}\\\\=\left(x^{2}\right)^{3}=x^{2\cdot 3}=x^{6}

_____

With these ideas in mind ...

\frac{2}{3}ab^{3}a^{4}=\frac{2}{3}a^{(1+4)}b^{3}=\frac{2}{3}a^5b^3

\dfrac{8xy^{8}}{16y^{6}}=\frac{8}{16}xy^{(8-6)}=\frac{1}{2}xy^{2}

The population of a town in 2007 is 113, 505
ELEN [110]

from 2007 to 2012 is only 5 years, so we can see this as a compound interest with a rate of 1.2% per annum for 5 years, so

~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$113505\\ r=rate\to 1.2\%\to \frac{1.2}{100}\dotfill &0.012\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{per year, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=113505\left(1+\frac{0.012}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 5}\implies A=113505(1.012)^5\implies A\approx 120481

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

3 hours: 38,250

1 day: 122,440

I’m not sure if this is exactly right, my brain gave out half way. Someone check my answer pls

Step-by-step explanation:

3 hours:   3 x 60= 900

                 900 divided by 20= 450

                    450 x 85 = 38,250

1 day:       24 x 60 = 1440

                 1440 x 85 = 122,440

2a+3b=5<br> b=a-5 help please
diamong [38]

Answer:

2a + 3b = 5

b = a - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

2a + 3b = 5

b = a - 5

You can write this another way:

2a + 3(a-5) = 5 ( I added the second formula in the first one )

Now you gotta factor out:

2a + 3a - 15 = 5

Here im gonna do plus 15

2a + 3a = 20 ==> 5a = 20

Now if you divide by 5, you get: a = 4

Now you can fill in the second formula again

b = a - 5 (ill fill this in now)

b = 4 - 5 = -1

So, this makes:

a = 4 , b = -1
