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

Mathematics
1 answer:
DochEvi [55]3 years ago
3 0

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}

A rectangular yoga mat has a perimeter of 179 inches. The width of the mat is eight less than half the length. Find the width, i
lianna [129]

Answer:

The width is 24.5in

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the rectangular yoga mat can be found using the formula;

P=2l+2w.

\Rightarrow 179=2l+2w...(1).

It was given that the width of the mat is eight less than half the length.

w=\frac{1}{2}l-8...(2)

We put equation (2) into equation (1) to get;

179=2l+2(\frac{1}{2}l-8).

\Rightarrow 179=2l+l-16.

\Rightarrow 179+16=2l+l.

\Rightarrow 3l=195

Divide both sides by 3;

l=65

We put l=65 into equation 2 to get;

w=\frac{1}{2}\times65-8

w=32.5-8

w=24.5in

Solve for X please :(( Will give brainliest.
DochEvi [55]

5x+6+92 = 22x-4

5x+98 = 22x-4

add 5x to both sides

98 = 27x-4

add 4 to both sides

102 = 27x

divide both sides by 27

x = 3 and \frac{7}{9}
