The problem given can be solve using one variable. so let x be the total vote
x = x(5/8) + 5/9(x - x(5/8)) + 48
so solve for x
x - x(5/8) - 5/9(x - x(5/8)) = 48
x - x(5/8) - x(5/9) + x(25/72) = 48
x(1/6) = 48
x = 48*6
x = 288
blue votes = 288(5/8) = 180
red votes = 5/9(288 - 180) = 60
students riverside = 288 + 25 = 313

Define powers provide an example of power with an exponent of 2
shtirl [24]
Well not sure what you are asking, but If it is what I think it is, it would go like this: 
          2 
(9^2)

Then the answer should be 

9^4 since we multiply the exponents. 

If you mean this...

3^2....It would be same as 3 x 3 which we should know is equal to nine. 

Hope I helped! (Be sure to thank me!)

Prove that the statement (ab)^n=a^n * b^n is true using mathematical induction.
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

      (ab)^n=a^n * b^n

We need to show that it is true for n=1

assuming that it is true for n = k;

(ab)^n=a^n * b^n

( ab) ^1 = a^1 * b^1

ab = a * b

ab = ab

Then we need to show that it is true for n = ( k+1)

or (ab)^(k+1)=a^( k+1) * b^( k+1)

Starting with

  (ab)^k=a^k * b^k    given

Multiply each side by ab

ab *  (ab)^k= ab *a^k * b^k

   ( ab) ^ ( k+1) = a^ ( k+1) b^ (k+1)

Therefore, the rule is true for every natural number n

Answer:

Pythagorean Theorum is defined in Mathematics by a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

One leg (a) is 5. The other leg (b) is 13.

Let's use Pythagorean Theorum.

5^2 + 13^2 = c^2

5 • 5 = 25

13 • 13 = 169

25 + 169 = 194.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps
