Simplify.Your answer should contain only positive exponents.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) $r^3r^3$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}$

$=r^{3+3}$

$=r^6$

2) $3k^3k^3$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \:a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}$

$=3k^{3+3}$

$=3k^6$

3) $\left(3b^2\right)^3$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(a\cdot \:b\right)^n=a^nb^n$

$=3^3\left(b^2\right)^3$

$=27\left(b^2\right)^3$

$=27b^6$

4) $\left(2m^3\right)^3$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \left(a\cdot \:b\right)^n=a^nb^n$

$=2^3\left(m^3\right)^3$

$=8\left(m^3\right)^3$

$=8m^{3\cdot \:3}$

$=8m^9$

5) $\frac{3r^3}{r^2}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$

$=3r^{3-2}$

$=3r^1$

$=3r$

HELP SOMEONE PLEASE!!!!! Factor completely 10x2 + 2x − 8. 2

natka813 [3]

Answer:

2(5x - 4)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

10x^2 + 2x − 8 =

First, factor out the GCF of all terms which is 2.

= 2(5x^2 + x - 4)

5x^2 factors into 5x and x.

= 2(5x )(x )

-4 factors into -4 and 1, -1 and 4, and -2 and 2. Use the set of two factors in the proper positions that will give the middle term.

= 2(5x - 4)(x + 1)

Simplify the expression sin^2 x-1/ cos(-x)

laila [671]

$\hbox{using trigonometric identities:} \\ \sin^2x +\cos^2x=1 \\ \sin^2x=1-\cos^2x \\ and \\ \cos (-x)=\cos x \\ \\ \frac{\sin^2x-1}{\cos (-x)}=\frac{1-\cos^2 x-1}{\cos x}=\frac{-\cos^2x}{\cos x}=\boxed{- \cos x} \\
(x \not= \frac{\pi}{2}+n\pi, n \in \mathbb{Z})$
