Answer:

\frac{-18a^{-2}b^5}{-12a^{-4}b^{-6}}=\frac{3a^{2}b^{11}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression  \frac{-18a^{-2}b^5}{-12a^{-4}b^{-6}}

To find : Which expression is equivalent to given expression?

Solution :

Given expression is

\frac{-18a^{-2}b^5}{-12a^{-4}b^{-6}}

Applying the exponent rule of division, \frac{x^a}{x^b} =x^{a-b}

=\frac{-18a^{-2+4}b^{5+6}}{-12}

=\frac{3a^{2}b^{11}}{2}

Therefore, The required expression is \frac{-18a^{-2}b^5}{-12a^{-4}b^{-6}}=\frac{3a^{2}b^{11}}{2}

First divide the  coefficients:-
-18 / -12  = 3/2

a^-2 / a^-4  = a^2

b^-5 / b^-6  =  b


so the expression simplifies to  3a^2b / 2

What is the answer for15/8=80/x
-Dominant- [34]
\frac{15}{8} = \frac{80}{x}
At this point in time, you can use a technique called cross-mutiplication, where you say that 15*80=8x, and 1200=8x at this point in time, you can devide each side by 8 and solve

if x-1 is a factor of P(x)=x^3- 5x^2 + 7x-3 which of the following represents the complete factorization for P(x)?​
kozerog [31]

Answer:

P(x) =  (x-1)² (x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

P(x)=x³- 5x² + 7x-3 = x² (x-1) - 4x(x-1) + 3(x-1) = (x²-4x+3)(x-1)

P(x) = (x-1)(x-3)(x-1) = (x-1)² (x-3)
