Answer:

B. 7x - 5

Explanation

Given the expression 21x^2 + 13x – 20, to get which of the given expression is a factor we will have to factorize the equation first as shown;

21x^2 + 13x – 20

= 21x^2 + 28x - 15x - 20

= 7x(3x+4) -5(3x+4)

= (7x-5)(3x+4)

Hence one of the factors is 7x - 5

Which expression is equivalent to (x superscript four-thirds baseline x superscript two-thirds Baseline ) superscript one-third

Andrei [34K]

<h3>The equivalent expression is:</h3>

$(x^{\frac{4}{3}}x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{3}} = x^{\frac{2}{3}$

Solution:

Given expression is:

$\displaystyle (x^{\frac{4}{3}}x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{3}}$

We have to find the equivalent expression

We can simplify the above expression using law of exponents

Use the following law of exponents:

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

Therefore,

$\displaystyle (x^{\frac{4}{3}}x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{3}} = (x^{\frac{4}{3}+\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\Simplify\\\\\displaystyle (x^{\frac{4}{3}}x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{3}} = (x^2)^\frac{1}{3}$

Use another law of exponent

$(a^m)^n = a^{mn}$

Therefore,

$(x^{\frac{4}{3}}x^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{1}{3}} = x^{\frac{2}{3}$

Thus the equivalent expression is found

Simplify 2(x - 3) + 7(x + 2)

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

9x + 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 3) + 7(x + 2)

= 2x - 6 + 7x + 14

= 2x + 7x - 6 + 14

= 9x + 8.

Hope this helps!

Briefly describe scientific notation. how is it useful for writing large and small numbers? how is it useful for making approx

Alenkasestr [34]

Scientific notation, also called pattern or notation in exponential form, is a way of writing numbers that accommodate values too large (100000000000) or small (0.00000000001) to be written in a conventional manner.

The use of this notation is based on powers of 104
Example:
Big numbers:
$100000000000 = 1 * 10 ^ {11}
$
Small numbers:
$0.00000000001 = 1 * 10 ^{-11}$

However, in areas such as physics and chemistry, scientific notation is important to make approximations such as:
mass of a proton
mass of an electron and others.
