The problem is asking you to simplify the exponents. When you multiply two or more powers with the same base, the exponents can be added and subtracted. In this case, the base is 7.

$7^6*7*7^{-4}$

7 can also be written as $7^1$ .

$7^6*7^1*7^{-4} = 7 ^{(6+1-4)} = 7^3$

The answer would be 7³ if you kept the exponent, or 343 if you simplified further.

Find the equation of a circle in standard form that is tangent to the line x = -3 at (-3, 5) and also tangent to the line x = 9.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

(x -3)² +(y -5)² = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The center is on the vertical line halfway between the given vertical lines, so is at x=3. It is also on the horizontal line through the point (-3, 5), so is at y=5. The center is 9-3=6 from either tangent line, so this is the radius.

For center (h, k) and radius r, the circle's equation is ...

(x -h)² +(y -k)² = r²

For (h, k) = (3, 5) and r=6, the equation is ...

(x -3)² +(y -5)² = 36 . . . . . . . . does not match any choice written here
