What is the answer and how do you solve 21x^3/3x^−1

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  as written: 7x^2

  perhaps intended: 7x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

As written, the Order of Operations specifies that the only denominator factor is 3, so the expression is interpreted as ...

  \dfrac{21x^3}{3}x^{-1}=\dfrac{21}{3}x^{3-1}=7x^2

___

Sometimes grouping of denominator factors is intended, but parentheses are not written as they should be. If the intention is ...

  21x^3/(3x^-1)

then the simplification is ...

  \dfrac{21x^3}{3x^{-1}}=\dfrac{21}{3}x^{3-(-1)}=7x^4

_____

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  a^b/a^c = a^(b-c)

Latoya had a large collection of basketball cards. she gave half to her friend,Erin. And 1/4 to her brother. She now has 75 card
Kipish [7]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: initial amount of cards

We now write the equation that models the problem:

x - (\frac{1}{2}) x - (\frac{1}{4}) x = 75

(\frac{1}{4}) x = 75\\x = 75 * 4\\x = 300

Therefore, the initial amount of cards is 300

Answer:

Latoya had 300 cards at the beginning
