Answer:

a = 4.762203156

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ab^4 = 12 and a^5b^5 = 7776

Making the equations a subject of a;

a = 12/b^4 and a^5 = 7776/b^5

Finding fifth root on both sides of equation two;

a = \sqrt[5]{7776}/b

You will get a = 6/b

Equating the two equations;

12/b^4 = 6/b

Multiplying both sides by b^4 gives:

b = \sqrt[3]{2} = 1.25992105

We had that a = 12/b^4 so;

a = 12/1.25992105^4 = 12/2.5198421 = 4.762203156

How can you use exponents to write 10,000,000?
aleksklad [387]

Let's break it down into something more simple:

What's 10 times 10? 100

What's 10 times 10 times 10? 1000

Do you see a pattern? (Cool trick - The number of 10s match the number of 0s in the answer)

We have seven 0s in our answer, so let's check:

10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10,000,000

An exponent tells us that we're multiplying the big number by itself however many times the little number in the corner tells us.

So if we multiply 10 by itself 7 times (what we did above), then our answer will be 10 to the power of 7, or 10^{7}. This is equal to 10,000,000.
