What is the quotient in simplified form ? Need help please

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  -\dfrac{4a^{12}b^8}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  \dfrac{1}{a^{-b}}=a^b\\\\a^ba^c=a^{b+c}

Your ratio simplifies to ...

  \dfrac{-8a^8b^{-2}}{10a^{-4}b^{-10}}=-\dfrac{4}{5}a^{8-(-4)}b^{-2-(-10)}\\\\=-\dfrac{4a^{12}b^8}{5}

_____

Please note that simplifying the constants, -8/10 to -4/5, eliminates half the answer choices. Since exponents are only multiplied when a power is raised to a power, you can pretty much eliminate the second choice as being unreasonable. ((a^b)^c = a^(bc))

Answer:

Study 1 Answers:

1) 0.76 represents the multiplier of the bacteria, in this case it is decreasing by 24% because the formula for exponential decay is 1 - r.

2) 1290 represents the initial value, or before the study began.

Study 2 Answers:

1) 1180 is the initial value, or before the study began.

2) Study 1 started with more bacteria

3) Study 1 is experiencing exponential decay, while study 2 is experiencing exponential growth

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions are in the form y=a(b)^x, where a is the initial value, b is the multiplier, and x represents inputs, such as hours after a bacteria study.

Any multiplier above 1.00 is experiencing exponential growth, meaning it grows gradually over time, and any multiplier below 1.00 is experiencing exponential decay, meaning it decreases in population over time.

Four more than the quotient of a number and 3 is 9
barxatty [35]

The algebraic expression of "Four more than the quotient of a number and 3 is 9" is \frac{x}{3}+4=9

The value of x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to express "Four more than the quotient of a number and 3 is 9" as algebraic expression.

Let the number = x

Solving:

quotient of a number and 3: \frac{x}{3}

Four more than the quotient of a number and 3: \frac{x}{3}+4

Four more than the quotient of a number and 3 is 9: \frac{x}{3}+4=9

Now, finding value of x:

\frac{x}{3}+4=9\\Adding\,\,-4\,\,on\,\,both\,\,sides:\\\frac{x}{3}+4-4=9-4\\\frac{x}{3}=5\\Multiply\,\,both\,\,sides\,\,by\,\,3:\\x=5*3\\x=15

So, value of x = 15

Solve the system of equations using the substitution method.
Firdavs [7]

y = -1 + 3/8x

2x - 5y = 6

Substitute the first equation into the second equation, since y is already by itself.

2x - 5(-1 + 3/8x) = 6

2x + 5 - 15/8x = 6

2x - 15/8x = 1

16/8x - 15/8x = 1

1/8x = 1 Multiply 8 on both sides to get x by itself

x = 8


Plug x into either of the equations.

y = -1 + 3/8(8)

y = -1 + 3

y = 2


2(8) - 5y = 6

16 - 5y = 6

-5y = -10

y = 2

The net cost of call premium can be calculated considering the total amount after taxes deductions times the percentage of the call premium.

Writing the percentage as a decimal number, we get:

10000000 × (1 - 0.35) × 0.09 = 585000

The <span>net cost of the call premium after taxes is 585000$.</span>
