Describe the rule for multiplying powers with the same base and give an example please

1 answer:

6 0

When multiplying powers with the same base you write the result as a base raised to the power that is the sum of previous two powers:

$a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n}.$

For example,

$2^5\cdot 2^7=2^{5+7}=2^{12};$

$3^5\cdot 3^4=3^{5+4}=3^9.$

Printer A prints 36 pages every 1.5 minutes. Printer B prints 114 pages every 3 minutes.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

printer A- 36/1.5

printer B- 114/3

printer C- 115/5

first, multiply 1.5 x 10, 3 x 5, and 5 x3

you should get 15 for each.

once you have the denominators all done, multiply the numerators by the value you multiplied the denominator by and you should have your answer.

so all in all, <u>printer B prints the fastest</u>

Compare how you would model and record finding the sum and difference of two rocks weighing 2/8 & 3/8 of a pound

ICE Princess25 [194]

Sum = 2/8 + 3/8 = (2+3)/8 = 5/8 pounds

Difference = 3/8 - 2/8 = (3-2)/8 = 1/8 pounds

Suppose a box is to be constructed from a square piece of material of side length x by cutting out a 2-inch square from each cor

alexgriva [62]

Consider the attached figure. The central square is the "floor" of the box, and it is a (x-2)-by-(x-2) square.

The four rectangles of the side will be the "walls" of the box, and they are (x-2)-by-2 rectangles.

The volume is given by the base area multiplied by the height of the walls, so we have

$\underbrace{(x-2)(x-2)}_{\text{base area}}\times 2 = 2(x^2-4x+4)= 2x^2-8x+8$
