Why is (5+2) to the second power is not equal to 5 to the second power plus 2 to the second power is not equal

This answer is a lot easier to find if you write out the math. 5 to the second power (or 5X5) is 25 and 2 to the second power (or 2X2) is 4, so they add together for a sum of 29 (25+4=29). As for (5+2) to the second power, both five and two are taken to the second power, however when you distribute there are middle terms that result as well. A good way to approach it is to use the foil method, which stands for First, Outter, Inner, Last.
So (5+2) to the second power can also be written:
(5+2)(5+2)
First: 5X5 =25
Outter: 5X2 =10
Inner: 2X5 = 10
Last: 2X2 =4
And all of that adds up for a total of 49.

Because 5 +2 is 7 and seven to the second power is 49. On the other hand 5 squared is 25 and 2 to the second power is 4 when you ad them together you get 29 you are taking to completely different numbers to the power of two and that’s why they aren’t equal

What is the equation in point-slope form that represents the line going through (1,3) and (4,6)

Darya [45]

We have the slope m = (6-3)/(4-1) = 3/3 = 1;
Then, y - 3 = 1·( x - 1);
finally, y = x + 2.

NEED HELP! ASAP! 50 POINTS!

Answer:

$y=13\text{ miles per gallon}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the two points: (0, 11) and (3, 50).

And we want to find the rate of change in y relative to x, where x is the gallons and y is the miles.

In simple terms, we want to find the slope between the two points.

So, let's use the slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Let (0, 11) be (x₁, y₁) and let (3, 50) be (x₂, y₂). Substitute. Let's also put "miles" in the numerator with the Ys and "gallons" in the denominator with the Xs. This yields:

$y=\frac{50-11\text{ miles}}{3-0\text{ gallons}}$

Subtract and reduce:

$y=39\text{ miles}/3\text{ gallons}=13\text{ miles per gallon}$

And we're done!

Hints on solving trigonometry problems:

If no diagram is given, draw one yourself.

Mark the right angles in the diagram.

Show the sizes of the other angles and the lengths of any lines that are known

Mark the angles or sides you have to calculate.

Consider whether you need to create right triangles by drawing extra lines. For example, divide an isosceles triangle into two congruent right triangles.

Decide whether you will need Pythagorean theorem, sine, cosine or tangent.

Check that your answer is reasonable. The hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle.
