In order to answer this question the parts must be broken down: 8^3 is 8*8*8 which equals 512 and 8^5 is 8*8*8*8*8 which equals 32761. 512*32761 equals 16777216. 167772176 is greater than 1.

Answer: The student is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$8^3.8^5$

Using the law of exponents, which states that,

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

So, we apply this first,

$8^3\times 8^5\\\\=8^{3+5}\\=8^8\\\\=16777216$

which is obviously greater than 1.

Hence , the student is correct.

Which expression is equivalent to...? Screenshots attached. Please help! Thank you.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

$4x^{3} y^{2} (\sqrt[3]{4 x y})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Another complex expression, let's simplify it step by step...

We'll start by re-writing 256 as 4^4

$\sqrt[3]{256 x^{10} y^{7} } = \sqrt[3]{4^{4} x^{10} y^{7} }$

Then we'll extract the 4 from the cubic root. We will then subtract 3 from the exponent (4) to get to a simple 4 inside, and a 4 outside.

$\sqrt[3]{4^{4} x^{10} y^{7} } = 4 \sqrt[3]{4 x^{10} y^{7} }$

Now, we have x^10, so if we divide the exponent by the root factor, we get 10/3 = 3 1/3, which means we will extract x^9 that will become x^3 outside and x will remain inside.

$4 \sqrt[3]{4 x^{10} y^{7} } = 4x^{3} \sqrt[3]{4 x y^{7} }$

For the y's we have y^7 inside the cubic root, that means the true exponent is y^(7/3)... so we can extract y^2 and 1 y will remain inside.

$4x^{3} \sqrt[3]{4 x y^{7} } = 4x^{3} y^{2} \sqrt[3]{4 x y}$

The answer is then:

$4x^{3} y^{2} \sqrt[3]{4 x y} = 4x^{3} y^{2} (\sqrt[3]{4 x y})$

Which statement is true about the graph of two lines y=-6 and x=1/6

Gelneren [198K]

The graph of the line y = -6 is a horizontal line which passes through the y axis at -6. On the other hand, the graph of the equation, x = 1/6 is a vertical line that passes through the x-axis at 1/6. The intersection of these lines is at a point that is expressed as (1/6, -6).

Randomly only means that Nobody says before that the candidates must have a certain characteristic(e.g. that they have to be Male) and that Nobody knows before who gets chosen.
