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)

Tell whether the sequence is arithmetic. Justify your answer. If the sequence is arithmetic, write a recursive
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The explicit formula

a_n = 3 +0.25 (n-1)

The recursive formula

a_1 = 3                            for n=1

a_n = a_ {(n-1)} +0.25     if n>1

Step-by-step explanation:

If a sequence is arithmetical then the difference between any of its consecutive terms will be constant

3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75,

3.25-3 = 0.25\\\\3.5-3.25 = 0.25\\\\3.75 -3.5 = 0.25

The difference between the consecutive terms remains constant so the sequence is arithmetic.

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is:

a_n = a_1 + d (n-1)

Where d is the constant difference between the terms.

d = 0.25

a_1 is the first term of the sequence.

a_1 = 3

So

a_n = 3 +0.25 (n-1)

Finally, the recursive formula is:

a_1 = 3\\\\a_n = a_ {(n-1)} +0.25

Write the equation of the circle The circle with center C(1, - 4) and radius r= 2
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

(x-1) ^2 + (y+4)^2 = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle can be written as

(x-h) ^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2  where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x-1) ^2 + (y- -4)^2 = 2^2

(x-1) ^2 + (y+4)^2 = 4

Find the distance between the points (2,0) and (-4,6)
N76 [4]

Answer:

You have to move 6 times to the left and 6 times down.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you're at (2,0), you move 2 times to the left, and then you're at (0,0).

Next move 4 times to the left. Now you're at (-4,0).

Now, move 6 times down, and now, you're at (-4,-6).
