1) (2 $\times$ 3^-2)^3 (5 $\times$ 3^2)^2 / (3^-2)(5 $\times$ 2)^2 = 2

2) (3^3) (4^0)^2 (3 $\times$ 2)^-3 (2^2) = 1/2

3) (3^7 $\times$ 4^7) (2 $\times$ 5)^-3 (5)^2 / (12^7) (5^-1) (2^-4) = 2

4) (2.3)^-1 (2^0) / (2.3)^-1 = 1

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Step 1 :

(2 $\times$ 3^-2)^3 (5 $\times$ 3^2)^2 / (3^-2)(5 $\times$ 2)^2

⇒ (2^3) (3^-6) (5^2) (3^4) / (3^-2) (10^2)

⇒ (2.2^2.5^2) (3^-6.3^4) / (3^-2) (10^2)

⇒ (2)(10^2) (3^-2) / (3^-2) (10^2)

⇒ 2

Step 2 :

(3^3) (4^0)^2 (3 $\times$ 2)^-3 (2^2)

Any number with power 'zero' is 1.

⇒ (3^3) (1^2) (3^-3) (2^-3) (2^2)

⇒ (2^(-3+2))

⇒ 2^-1 = 1/2

Step 3 :

(3^7 $\times$ 4^7) (2 $\times$ 5)^-3 (5)^2 / (12^7) (5^-1) (2^-4)

⇒ (12^7) (2^-3) (5^-3) (5^2) / (12^7) (5^-1) (2^-4)

⇒ (2^-3) (5^(-3+2)) / (5^-1) (2^-4)

⇒ (2^-3) (5^-1) / (5^-1) (2^-4)

⇒ 1 / (2^-1)

⇒ 2

Step 4 :

(2.3)^-1 (2^0) / (2.3)^-1

⇒ (2^0)

⇒ Any number with power 'zero' is 1

⇒ 1

Consider this system of equations. Which equation represents the first equation written in slope-intercept form?

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

y= 5/2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2y = 10

-5x -5x (Subtract both sides by 5x to leave y by itself)

-2y = -5x + 10

-2y/-2 = -5/-2 + 10/-2

(Divide both sides by -2 to leave y with no coefficient. -5/-2 = 5/2 because there are two negatives. 10/-2 = -5.

y = 5/2 - 5

Write a rule for the nth term of the sequence. Then find a20. Assume the first termis a₁. 86, 79, 72, 65…

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

an = a(n-1) - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

the second term is smaller than the first term 7.

a20 = a19 - 7

a19 = a18 - 7

=> a20 = (a18 - 7) - 7

Then you can accumalate until a1

-> a20 = a1 - 19*7 = 86 - 19*7 = -47

3/4=j-1/2 solve the equation check your solution

DIA [1.3K]

3/4= j-1/2
first to add 1/2 to both sides to solve for j
3/4 + 1/2= j
second you find a common denominator in order to add 3/4 and 1/2, the common denominator would be 4, you would have to change 3/4 at all because the denominator is already 4 but in order to make the denominator of 1/2, 4 you would have to multiply both the denominator and numerator by 2 so
3/4 + 2/4 = 5/4
so 5/4 =j

to check your answer you plug 5/4 in for j
3/4 = 5/4 -1/2
again you need to find a common denominator between 5/4 and 1/2 which again would be 4, and again you wouldn't change 5/4 but you would multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 so
3/4= 5/4-2/4
5-2= 3 and you would keep the 4 so
5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4

so j = 5/4
