The question above was not written properly

Complete Question

Lacey and Haley are rewriting expressions in an equivalent, simpler form.

a. Haley simplified x³⋅ x² and got

x⁵

Lacey simplified x³ + x² and got the same result! However, their teacher told them that only one simplification is correct. Who simplified correctly and how do you know?

b. Haley simplifies 3⁵⋅ 4⁵ and gets the result 12^10, but Lacey is not sure.

Is Haley correct? Be sure to justify your answer.

Answer:

a) Haley is correct, Lacey simplified wrongly.

b) Haley is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Haley simplified x³⋅ x² and got

x⁵

Lacey simplified x³ + x² and got the same result! However, their teacher told them that only one simplification is correct. Who simplified correctly and how do you know?

For Question a, when it comes to simplifying algebraic expression that has to do with powers, there are certain rules that should be followed.

For example

x^a × x^b = x^(a + b)

For Haley, she simplified x³⋅ x² and got

x⁵

She is correct because this follows the product rule of powers or exponents above

= x³⋅ x² = x³+² = x⁵

For Lacey she is wrong because:

x³ + x² ≠ x⁵

x³ + x² when simplified as quadratic equation = x²(x + 1)

b. Haley simplifies 3⁵⋅ 4⁵ and gets the result 12^10, but Lacey is not sure.

Is Haley correct? Be sure to justify your answer.

For question b, when we have two distinct or different numbers with the same power(exponents) the rule states that:

x^a × y^a = (x × y)^a = (xy)^a

Haley is simplified wrongly. She did not apply the rule above

Haley simplified 3⁵⋅ 4⁵ = (3 × 4) ⁵+⁵

= 12^10, this is wrong.

The correct answer according to the rule =

3⁵⋅ 4⁵ = (3 × 4) ⁵ = 12⁵

Therefore,

3⁵⋅ 4⁵ ≠ 12^10

3⁵⋅ 4⁵ = 12⁵

Haley is wrong.

Solve for y, 2y=-4x-14
BabaBlast [244]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:    y = 2x - 7

Discussion:

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

2y /2  = (4x-14)/2 = 4x/2 -14/2

or


y = 2x - 7

Thank you,

MrB

A water truck is filling a swimming pool. The equation that represents this relation is y=18.25x where y is the number of gallon
QveST [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, however, one of the requirements of this question while I searched, was to make a table and sketch the equation.

If this is the case, then, all you need to do is take the equation, Assume some values for x, and compute the values of y. Then, you can do the graph.

I begin with value from 0 to 10.

This is the example of calculations:

x = 0

y = 18.25*0 = 0

for x = 0, we get y = 0. For x = 2:

y = 18.25 * 2 = 36.5

If we keep doing this, we should get a straight line. See the graph and attached table. If the question is asking another thing, then please get back to me to answer it.

How do you use the least common multiple to write two or more fractions with a common denominator
Triss [41]
First you compare the denomonators and see if they have any common multiples, then what you do to one side you do to the other so you multiply so you get the same number on both denomonators.finally you multipybthe same number you did ti he botto. to the top.p.s. your welcome
