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

Hillary buys 3 pounds of Gala apples and some Granny Smith apples. Both kinds of apples cost $4.50 per pound. The total cost is
Elodia [21]

Answer:

24.75 = 3*4.50 + x*4.50

x= 2.5 pounds of Granny Smith apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Gala apples = 3 lbs

Granny apples = x lbs

They cost 4.50 a pound

Total cost = 24.75

Total cost = gala apples * cost per pound + granny apples * cost per pound

Substitute in what we know

24.75 = 3*4.50 + x*4.50

24.75 = 13.50 + 4.5x

Subtract 13.50 from each side

24.75-13.50 = 13.50-13.50 + 4.5x

11.25 = 4.5x

Divide by 4.50 on each side

11.25/4.5 = 4.5x/4.5

2.5 =x

3. f(x)= |3x -4|<br> D =<br> R=
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Domain = All real numbers

Range = y ≥ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

As for the domain... you can substitute any value for x and get a mathematical response. Therefore... the domain is all real numbers

Because we are finding the absolute value of the entire function... we know that the final answer cannot be negative. (Don't forget that it <em>can</em> still be 0) Since y can only be positive... we define the Range as y ≥ 0

A person on a moving sidewalk travels 20 feet in 5 seconds. the moving sidewalk has a length of 80 feet. how long will it take t
Setler [38]
It will take 20 seconds to move from one end to another because if 20 feet is moved within 5 seconds, do that 4 more times to get to 80. Finally, multiply 5 by 4 to get 20 seconds.
