What is 2/3 of the number 342

(−5)3x7(yz)4 / (3)2x2y8z2

g100num [7]

Answer:

$\dfrac{(-5)3x^7(yz)^4}{(3)2x^2y^8z^2}=\dfrac{-5x^5z^2}{2y^4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The expression to simplify is given as:

$\frac{(-5)3x^7(yz)^4}{(3)2x^2y^8z^2}$

In order to simplify this, we have to use the law of indices.

1. $(ab)^m=a^mb^m$

So, $(yz)^4=y^4z^4$

Substitute this value in the above expression. This gives,

$=\dfrac{(-5)3x^7y^4z^4}{(3)2x^2y^8z^2}\\\\\\=\dfrac{-15x^7y^4z^4}{6x^2y^8z^2}......(-5\times 3=15\ and\ 3\times 2=6)$

Now, we use another law of indices.

2. $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$

So, $\frac{x^7}{x^2}=x^{7-2}=x^5,\frac{y^4}{y^8}=y^{4-8}=y^{-4}, \frac{z^4}{z^2}=z^{4-2}=z^2$

Substitute these values in the above expression. This gives,

$=\frac{-15}{6}\times x^5\times y^{-4}\times z^2\\\\=\frac{-5x^5y^{-4}z^2}{2}$

Finally, we further simplify it using the law $a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$

So, $y^{-4}=\frac{1}{y^4}$

Therefore, the given expression is simplified as:

$\dfrac{(-5)3x^7(yz)^4}{(3)2x^2y^8z^2}=\dfrac{-5x^5z^2}{2y^4}$

Suppose that y varies directly with x and y=10 when x=20. What is y when x=15

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

y=kx

subst y=10 and x=20 into the above

10=k20

k=10/20

k=1/2

therefore relationship: y=1/2x

subst x=15 into the relationship

y=1/2(15)

y=7,5

Step by step explanation:

Step 1: when they say y varies directly with x they mean y is proportional to x
step 2: so y=kx where k is the constant
step 3: is to substitute y=10 and x=20 into the above equation y=kx
step 4: you will end up with 10=k20 then divide both sides by 20 so that k becomes the subject of the formula 
step 5: your answer from the above will be k=10/20 so the relationship is y is directly proportional to 1/2 x what you did here is that you substituted k for 1/2 in the equation in step 3
step 6: is to finally substitute x=15 into the equation y=1/2x to finally get your answer y=7,5.

Maria and Katy each have a piece of string. When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84in

Serga [27]

Answer: the length of Maria's piece of string is 45 inches.

the length of Katy's piece of string is 39 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of Maria's piece of string.

Let y represent the length of Katy's piece of string.

When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84inches. This means that

x + y = 84 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Maria's string is 6 inches longer than Katy's. This means that

x = y + 6

Substituting x = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 6 + y = 84

2y + 6 = 84

2y = 84 - 6 = 78

y = 78/2 = 39

x = y + 6 = 39 + 6

x = 45

Question 1 Part B (3 points): Using the GCF that you chose in part A, factor that GCF out of the polynomial:

Aleks [24]

The factor of the polynomial 18x³ + 6x²y - 9x² - 3xy will be 3x(6x² - 2xy - 3x - y). Then the correct option is C.

<h3>What is a factorization?</h3>

It is a method for dividing a polynomial into pieces that will be multiplied together. At this moment, the polynomial's value will be zero.

The polynomial is given below.

⇒ 18x³ + 6x²y - 9x² - 3xy

Then the factor of the polynomial will be

⇒ 18x³ + 6x²y - 9x² - 3xy

⇒ 3x(6x² - 2xy - 3x - y)

More about the factorization link is given below.

If the probability that your DVD player breaks down before the extended warranty expires is 0.034, what is the probability that

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

0.966

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Probability of DVD player breaking down before the warranty expires = 0.034

To find:

The probability that the player will not break down before the warranty expires = ?

Solution:

Here, The two events are:

1. The DVD player breaks down before the warranty gets expired.

2. The DVD player breaks down after the warranty gets expired

In other words, the 2nd event can be stated as:

The DVD does not break down before the warranty gets expired.

The two events here, have nothing in common i.e. they are mutually exclusive events.

So, Sum of their probabilities will be equal to 1.

$\bold{P(E_1)+P(E_2)=1}\\\Rightarrow 0.034+P(E_2)=1\\\Rightarrow P(E_2)=1-0.034\\\Rightarrow P(E_2)=\bold{0.966}$
