Answer:

An expression that represents repeated multiplication of the same factor is called a power.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 5 is called the base, and the number 2 is called the exponent. The exponent corresponds to the number of times the base is used as a factor.

Three water storage containers have the same volume in the shape of a cylinder, a cone, and a sphere. The base radius of the cyl
fredd [130]

Answer:

- The ratio of the height of the cone to the height of the cylinder is 3:1

- The ratio of the height of the cone to radius of the sphere is 4:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the radii of all the structures are the same.

Let the height of the cone be H and the height of the cylinder be h

The volume of each of the shapes are given below as

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

Volume of a cone = (1/3)πr²H

Volume of a sphere = (4/3)πr³

1) The ratio of the height of the cone to the height of the cylinder

To obtain this, we equate the volume of those two structures

Volume of the cone = Volume of the cylinder

(1/3)πr²H = πr²h

πr² cancels out on both sides and we're left with

(H/3) = h

H = 3h

(H/h) = (3/1)

So, The ratio of the height of the cone to the height of the cylinder is 3:1

2) The ratio of the height of the cone to radius of the sphere

Similarly equating the volumes of the cone and the sphere

(1/3)πr²H = (4/3)πr³

(1/3)πr² cancels out on both sides and we're left with

H = 4r

(H/r) = (4/1)

The ratio of the height of the cone to radius of the sphere is 4:1

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the solution for -3(6x+5)-2(1-17x)=3(5+5x)
Novosadov [1.4K]

-3(6x+5)-2(1-17x)=3(5+5x)

Mutiply the first bracket by -3

(-3)(6x)= -18x

(-3)(5)= -15

Mutiply the second bracket by -2

(-2)(1)= -2

(-2)(-17x)= 34x

Mutiply the third bracket by 3

(3)(5)= 15

(3)(5x)= 15x

-18x-15-2+34x= 15+15x

-18x+34x-15-2= 15+15x

16x-17= 15+15x

move 15 to the other side

sign changes from +15 to -15

16x-17-15= 15-15+15x

16x-32= 15x

move -32 to the other side

sign changes from -32 to +32

16x-32+32=15x+32

16x= 15x+32

move 15x to the other side

sign changes from +15x to -15x

16x-15x=15x-15x+32

x= 32

Answer: x= 32

The question above was not written properly

Complete Question

Lacey and Haley are rewriting expressions in an equivalent, simpler form.

a. Haley simplified x³⋅ x² and got

x⁵

Lacey simplified x³ + x² and got the same result! However, their teacher told them that only one simplification is correct. Who simplified correctly and how do you know?

b. Haley simplifies 3⁵⋅ 4⁵ and gets the result 12^10, but Lacey is not sure.

Is Haley correct? Be sure to justify your answer.

Answer:

a) Haley is correct, Lacey simplified wrongly.

b) Haley is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Haley simplified x³⋅ x² and got

x⁵

Lacey simplified x³ + x² and got the same result! However, their teacher told them that only one simplification is correct. Who simplified correctly and how do you know?

For Question a, when it comes to simplifying algebraic expression that has to do with powers, there are certain rules that should be followed.

For example

x^a × x^b = x^(a + b)

For Haley, she simplified x³⋅ x² and got

x⁵

She is correct because this follows the product rule of powers or exponents above

= x³⋅ x² = x³+² = x⁵

For Lacey she is wrong because:

x³ + x² ≠ x⁵

x³ + x² when simplified as quadratic equation = x²(x + 1)

b. Haley simplifies 3⁵⋅ 4⁵ and gets the result 12^10, but Lacey is not sure.

Is Haley correct? Be sure to justify your answer.

For question b, when we have two distinct or different numbers with the same power(exponents) the rule states that:

x^a × y^a = (x × y)^a = (xy)^a

Haley is simplified wrongly. She did not apply the rule above

Haley simplified 3⁵⋅ 4⁵ = (3 × 4) ⁵+⁵

= 12^10, this is wrong.

The correct answer according to the rule =

3⁵⋅ 4⁵ = (3 × 4) ⁵ = 12⁵

Therefore,

3⁵⋅ 4⁵ ≠ 12^10

3⁵⋅ 4⁵ = 12⁵

Haley is wrong.
