Exponent is the expression in where you convert product factor expression into a shorter expression. So really you use it to make the question simpler and shorter(easier to understand).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using exponents is an abbreviated form of repeated multiplication. That is, exponents are used to write a multiplication composed of several equal numbers in a more simplified way.

This is called power, and it is formed by the base, which is the number that is multiplying several times, and by the exponent, which is the number of times the base is multiplied.

For example: 5x5x5x5x5x5x5. You can see that the number 5 is multiplied many times, that makes it longer. This would be the basis. The number 5 is multiplied 7 times (7 being then the exponent), therefore you can express this multiplication as:

$5^{7}$

You can model the population of a certain city between the years 1965 and 1995 by the radical function P(x) = 75,000 ^3sqrt x-19

Answer: B. 1975

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The model of population of a certain city between the years 1965 and 1995 by the radical function

$P(x)=75000\sqrt[3]{x-1940}$

To find the x year at which population is 245,000, put this in equation we get

$245000=75000\sqrt[3]{x-1940}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{245000}{17000}=\sqrt[3]{x-1940}\\\\\Rightarrow3.266=\sqrt[3]{x-1940}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x-1940=(3.266)^3..........\text{[by taking cube on both sides]}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x-1940=34.8587\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=1940+34.8587\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=1974.8587\approx1975$

Hence, at year 1975 the population of the city is 245,000.

Solve each equation for y. Then find the value of y for each value of x. y+3x=8;x=-2,0,2

damaskus [11]

Y=-3x+8
when x=-2:
y=-3(-2)+8
y=6+8
y=14
when x=0
y=-3(0)+8
y=0+8
y=8
when x=2
y=-3(2)+8
y=-6+8
y=2
