<h3>Answer:</h3>

p^(m+n) . . . . . . . parentheses are required

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The answer follows directly from the rules of exponents:

... (a^b)×(a^c) = a^(b+c)

Here, you have a=p, b=m, c=n, so

... (p^m)×(p^n) = p^(m+n)

_____

<em>Where the rule comes from</em>

An exponent sigifies <em>repeated multiplication</em>. That is ...

... p^3 = p·p·p . . . . . . . the exponent means p is a factor 3 times

... p^2 = p·p . . . . . . . . .the exponent means p is a factor 2 times

When we multiply these terms together, we have ...

... (p^3)×(p^2) = (p·p·p)×(p·p) = p·p·p·p·p = p^(2+3) = p^5

The number of times p is a factor of the product is the total of the number of times p is a factor in the factors of the product.

Jasmine knows that the area of a rectangle is the product of its base and height. Help her write an expression that represents t
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Area of rectangle = H × B

Area of rectangle = 10(H)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Base (B) = 10

Height = H

Find:

Area of rectangle

Computation:

Area of rectangle = Height × Base

Area of rectangle = H × B

So,

Area of rectangle = H × B              [Base (B) = 10]

⇒ Area of rectangle = H × 10

⇒ Area of rectangle = 10(H)

Casey wants to buy a gym membership. Gym A has a $150 joining fee and costs $35 per month. Gym B has no joining fee and costs $6
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Gym A has a $150 joining fee and costs $35 per month.

Assuming that Casey wants to attend for x months, the cost of using gym A will be

150 + 35 times x months. It becomes

150 + 35x

Gym B has no joining fee and costs $60 per month.

Again, assuming that Casey wants to attend for x months, the cost of using gym B will be

60 × x months = 60x

A) To determine the number of months that it will both gym memberships to be the same, we will equate them.

150 + 35x = 60x

60x - 35x = 150

25x = 150

x = 150/25 = 6

It will take 6 months for both gym memberships to be the same.

B) If Casey plans to only go to the gym for 5 months,

Plan A will cost 150 + 35×5 = $325

Plan B will cost 60 × 5 = $300

Plan B will be cheaper

Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form that goes through the points
Stella [2.4K]

Answer: The equation in slope-intercept form is y=2x-11

Step-by-step explanation: Slope-intercept is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, you find the difference between the y values divided by the difference between the x values. -5-(-9) = 4, and 3-1 is 2. 4/2 is 2, so m = 2. Since the slope is 2, it states for every x you move on the right you move 2 up. But we are trying to get the y-intercept, so x = 0. We are subtracting 1 in our x value, so we move 2 downwards. We subtract 2 from -9 which gives us -11, which is our y-intercept.

Hope this helps!
