Answer:
98^91
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the base of all the numbers is 98,
the LCM is simply the one with the greatest exponent
example
98^53 * 98^38 = 98^91
Let x be that number.
Let's create a system using what we have:
x^2 = 1/4 (1)
x+x = 1 (2)
In the equation (1):
x^2 = 1/4
So x = √1/4 = 1/2 OR x = -√1/4 = -1/2
Since the answer in the second equation is positive, so the acceptable answer is x = 1/2.
So the number that multiplies to be 1/4 but adds to be 1 is 1/2.
You can re-check your answer (very important):
x^2 = (1/2)^2 = 1/4
x+x = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1
The answer has been approved.
Hope this Helps! :)
The answer would be the first one at the top. Standard form is (ax^2+bx+c), this is what the equation shows
Since there are 8 overall rungs on the ladder, this would mean that all 8 (8/8) would equal 1. He is standing on the fifth rung. Put 5 over 8. He is standing on 5/8th rung of the ladder.
