Simplify 7^-5/6*7^-7/6

Mathematics

DochEvi [55]3 years ago

So the rule with multiplying exponents of the same base is x^m*x^n=x^{m+n} . Apply this rule here:

7^{-\frac{5}{6}}*7^{-\frac{7}{6}}=7^{-\frac{5}{6}+{-\frac{7}{6}}}=7^{-\frac{12}{6}}=7^{-2}

Next, the rule with converting negative exponents into positive ones is x^{-m}=\frac{1}{x^m} . Apply this rule here:

7^{-2}=\frac{1}{7^2}=\frac{1}{49}

<u>Your final answer is 1/49.</u>

<h2>------------------------------------------------</h2>

So an additional rule when it comes to exponents is x^{\frac{m}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{x^m}

In this case, your fractional exponent, x^9/7, would be converted to \sqrt[7]{x^9} . However, I had just realized you can further expand this.

Remember the rule I had mentioned earlier about multiplying exponents of the same base? Well, you can apply it here:

\sqrt[7]{x^9}=\sqrt[7]{x^7*x^2}=x\sqrt[7]{x^2}

Your final answer would be x\sqrt[7]{x^2}

 (x-8) ^ 2 = 121
 
(x-8) = + / - root (121)
 x = 8 +/- root (121)
 The solutions are:
 
x1 = 8 + root (121)
 
x2 = 8 - root (121)
 2a ^ 2 = 8a-6
 2a ^ 2-8a + 6 = 0
 a ^ 2-4a + 3 = 0
 (a-1) (a-3) = 0
 The solutions are:
 
a1 = 1
 
a2 = 3
 x ^ 2 + 12x + 36 = 4
 x ^ 2 + 12x + 36-4 = 0
 x ^ 2 + 12x + 32 = 0
 (x + 4) (x + 8) = 0
 The solutions are:
 
x1 = -8
 
x2 = -4
 x ^ 2-x + 30 = 0
 
x = (- b +/- root (b ^ 2 - 4 * a * c)) / 2 * a
 x = (- (- 1) +/- root ((- 1) ^ 2 - 4 * (1) * (30))) / 2 * (1)
 x = (1 +/- root (1 - 120))) / 2
 x = (1 +/- root (-119))) / 2
 x = (1 +/- root (119) * i)) / 2
 The solutions are:
 
x1 = (1 + root (119) * i)) / 2
 
x2 = (1 - root (119) * i)) / 2

Ludmilka [50]
Total of $7.75
13 more quarters than nickels

15 nickels = $0.75
28 quarters = $7.00

28 - 15 = 13 coins
$7.00 + $0.75 = $7.75
