This is an interesting question. I chose to tackle it using the Law of Cosines.
  AC² = AB² + BC² - 2·AB·BC·cos(B)
  AM² = AB² + MB² - 2·AB·MB·cos(B)
Subtracting twice the second equation from the first, we have
  AC² - 2·AM² = -AB² + BC² - 2·MB²

We know that MB = BC/2. When we substitute the given information, we have
  8² - 2·3² = -4² + BC² - BC²/2
  124 = BC² . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 16, multiply by 2
  2√31 = BC ≈ 11.1355

Which expression is equivalent to 15x^-3z^5/3x^7z^-5 please answer spr fast
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

5x^{-10}z^{10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{15x^{-3}z^5}{3x^7z^{-5}}

Required

Evaluate

\frac{15x^{-3}z^5}{3x^7z^{-5}}

Start by dividing 15 by 3

\frac{5x^{-3}z^5}{x^7z^{-5}}

Apply the following law of indices on indices x and z

\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n

So, the expression becomes:

5x^{-3-7}z^{5-(-5)

5x^{-3-7}z^{5+5

5x^{-10}z^{10
