Principle: Law of Exponents - Combination of product to a power & power to a power. The first is when raising a product of two integers to a power, the power is distributed to each factor. In equation it is,
(xy)^a = (x^a)(y^a)
The latter is when raising the base with a power to a power, the base will remain the same and the powers will be multiplied. In equation it is,
(x^a)(x^b) = x^ab
Check:
f(x) = 5*(16)^.33x = 5*(8*2)^0.33x = 5*(8^0.33x)(2^0.33x) = 5*(2^x)*(2^0.33x) = 5*(2^1.33x)
f(x) = 2.3*(8^0.5x) = 2.3*(4*2)^0.5x = 2.3*(2^x)(2^0.5x) = 2.3*(2^1.5x)
f(x) = 81^0.25x = 3^x
f(x) = 0.75*(9*3)^0.5x = 0.75*(3^x)*(3^0.5x) = 0.75*3^1.5x
f(x) = 24^0.33x = (8*3)^0.33x = (2^x)*(3^0.33x)
Therefore, the answer is third equation.
<em>ANSWER: f(x) = 81^0.25x = 3^x</em>
Erika $21
3k of cinnamon
1g of gummies
Irene $39
3k of cinnamon
3k of gummies
c= cost of 1 kilogram of cinnamon
g= cost of 1 kilogram of gummies
Erika's Equation
3c + 1g= $21
Irene's Equation
3c + 3g= $39
Solve for one variable in equation one and substitute it in the other equation.
3c + 1g= 21
subtract 3c from both sides
g= 21 - 3c
Substitute g=21 - 3c in equation
3c + 3g= $39
3c + 3 (21 - 3c)= 39
multiply all in parentheses
3c + 63 - 9c= 39
63 - 6c= 39
subtract 63 from both sides
-6c= -24
c= $4
Substitute c=4 in equation to find g
3c + g= 21
3(4) + g= 21
12 + g= 21
subtract 12 from both sides
g= $9
ANSWER: The price of 1 kilogram of cinnamon red hots is $4. The cost of 1 kilogram of gummies is $9.
Hope this helps! :)
