1 answer:

8 0

$a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\-16a^{-3}b^{-5}\cdot2a^{-4}b^2=(-16\cdot2)(a^{-3}a^{-4})(b^{-5}b^2})\\\\=-32a^{-3+(-4)}b^{-5+2}=\boxed{-32a^{-7}b^{-3}}$

in 2005, the total waste generated in a certain country was 3.474x10^9 pounds. also in 2005, the countrys population was 1.23x10

Serggg [28]

Answer:

2824

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the number of pounds and divide by the number of people:

3.474×10⁹ / 1.23×10⁶

Divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

(3.474 / 1.23) × 10⁹⁻⁶

2.824×10³

So the country produced about 2,824 pounds of garbage per person in 2005.

If tan ⁡x=12/5, and 0°

Charra [1.4K]

The value of sin(2x) is $\frac{120}{169}$

Explanation:

Given that $tan x =\frac{12}{5}$

The formula for $sin(2x)$ is $\sin (2 x)=2 \sin x \cos x$

Since, $\tan x=\frac{o p p}{a d j}$

Also, it is given that $tan x =\frac{12}{5}$

Thus, $opp=12$ and $adj=5$

To find the hypotenuse, let us use the pythagoras theorem,

$\begin{aligned}h y p &=\sqrt{12^{2}+5^{2}} \\&=\sqrt{144+25} \\&=\sqrt{169} \\&=13\end{aligned}$

Now, we can find the value of sin x and cos x.

$\sin x=\frac{\text { opp }}{h y p}=\frac{12}{13}$

$\cos x=\frac{a d j}{h y p}=\frac{5}{13}$

Now, substituting these values in the formula for sin 2x, we get,

$\begin{aligned}\sin (2 x) &=2 \sin x \cos x \\&=2\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)\left(\frac{5}{13}\right) \\&=\frac{120}{169}\end{aligned}$

Thus, the value of sin(2x) is $\frac{120}{169}$
