Simplify the expression (8x^3y^2/4a^2b^4)^-2

1 answer:

3 0

Simplify the following:
((8 x^3 y^2 a^2 b^4)/4)^(-2)
8/4 = (4×2)/4 = 2:
(2 x^3 y^2 a^2 b^4)^(-2)
Multiply each exponent in 2 x^3 y^2 a^2 b^4 by -2:
(x^(-2×3) y^(-2×2) a^(-2×2) b^(-2×4))/(2^2)
-2×3 = -6:
(x^(-6) y^(-2×2) a^(-2×2) b^(-2×4))/2^2
-2×2 = -4:
(y^(-4) a^(-2×2) b^(-2×4))/(2^2 x^6)
-2×2 = -4:
(a^(-4) b^(-2×4))/(2^2 x^6 y^4)
-2×4 = -8:
b^(-8)/(2^2 x^6 y^4 a^4)
2^2 = 4:
Answer: 1/(4 x^6 y^4 a^4 b^8) thus the answer is A

Answer:

It is the distance that - 5 is from 0 on the number line.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to select a statement that is true about the value of StartAbsoluteValue negative 5 EndAbsoluteValue i.e. |- 5|

Definition of the absolute value function is given by, |x| = x for, x ≥ 0 and |x| = - x for x < 0.

Now, an absolute value function gives the positive value of any value in the function i.e. |- 5| = 5.

Therefore, it is the distance that - 5 is from 0 on the number line. (Answer)

rancho middle school has an average of 23 3/8 students per teacher write this mixed number as a decimal

Reika [66]

let's firstly convert it to an improper fraction.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{23\frac{3}{8}}\implies \cfrac{23\cdot 8+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{187}{8}}\implies 187\div 8\implies \stackrel{decimal}{23.375}$

The snack shop makes 3 mixes of nuts in the following proportions.

Julli [10]

Answer:

$A=\begin{bmatrix}6 & 5 & 3\\ 2 & 3 & 4\\ 2 & 2 & 3\end{bmatrix}$

$B=\begin{bmatrix}25\\ 18\\ 35\end{bmatrix}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the snack shop makes 3 mixes of nuts in the following proportions.

Mix I: 6 lbs peanuts, 2 lbs cashews, 2 lbs pecans.

Mix II: 5 lbs peanuts, 3 lbs cashews, 2 lbs pecans.

Mix III: 3 lbs peanuts, 4 lbs cashews, 3 lbs pecans.

they received an order for 25 of mix I, 18 of mix II, and 35 of mix III.

We need to find the matrices A & B for which AB gives the total number of lbs of each nut required to fill the order.

Mix I Mix II Mix III

peanuts 6 5 3

cashews 2 3 4

pecans 2 2 2

$A=\begin{bmatrix}6 & 5 & 3\\ 2 & 3 & 4\\ 2 & 2 & 3\end{bmatrix}$

$B=\begin{bmatrix}25\\ 18\\ 35\end{bmatrix}$

The product of both matrices is

$AB=\begin{bmatrix}6 & 5 & 3\\ 2 & 3 & 4\\ 2 & 2 & 3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}25\\ 18\\ 35\end{bmatrix}$

$AB=\begin{bmatrix}6\cdot \:25+5\cdot \:18+3\cdot \:35\\ 2\cdot \:25+3\cdot \:18+4\cdot \:35\\ 2\cdot \:25+2\cdot \:18+3\cdot \:35\end{bmatrix}$

$AB=\begin{bmatrix}345\\ 244\\ 191\end{bmatrix}$

Therefore matrix AB gives the total number of lbs of each nut required to fill the order.

Explain how you found the measure of angle x by identifying the angle relationships that you used along the transversal. (5 poin

adell [148]

If AB and CD are parallel lines and PR is the transversal, then angle PRD = angle APR by alternate interior angle theorem.
Angle PRD = 120 degrees so, 65 + x = 120 degrees
120 - 65 = 55 degrees
