Using exponents what is the simplified form of the expression 12x^5/6x^2

1 answer:

4 0

First, we can simplify the 12/6 to 2/1 by factoring our 6. Next, remember that when we divide the same base with different exponents, we subtract the exponents. Thus, x^5/x^2 = x^(5-2) = x^3. Thus, the answer is 2x^3.

On a number line, the coordinates of j, k, l, m, n are −10.5, −4, −1, 1.5, 4 respectively. find the lengths of the two segments.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

JK = 6.5
KM = 5.5
not congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

JK = K-J = (-4) -(-10.5) = 6.5

KM = M -K = 1.5 -(-4) = 5.5

6.5 ≠ 5.5, so the segments are not congruent.

How to add fractions with unlike denominators?

Ainat [17]

Change the fractions so they have common denominators. For example. If adding 4/8 + 2/3, a common denominator of the two could be 24. Change both fractions to have a denominator of 24. To do this:

(4/8)×(3/3)= 12/24
(2/3)×(8/8)=16/24

Now that both fractions have denominators of 24, you can simply add the numerators to get your answer. in this case, it would be 28/24
