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.

By using the digits 0 to 9, the boxes are filled with their respective numerical values to make the chart accurate as shown in the image attached below.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

A function can be defined as a mathematical expression which is used to define and represent the relationship that exists between two or more variables.

<h3>The types of function.</h3>

In Mathematics, there are different types of functions and these include the following;

  • Periodic function
  • Inverse function
  • Modulus function
  • Signum function
  • Piece-wise defined function.
  • Logarithm function

<h3>What is a logarithm function?</h3>

A logarithm function can be defined as a type of function that represents the inverse of an exponential function. Mathematically, a logarithm function is written as follows:

y = logₐₓ

y = log₁₀10

y = log₁₀10 = 1.  

Therefore, if log₁₀x < 1, then, x < 10.  Also, if log₁₀x > 1, then, x > 10.

For this exercise, you should take note of this deductive points:

  • The upper left number can't be smaller than 1 but its log must be the smallest. Thus, if the exponent equals 0, the red box can assume any number.
  • The fractions in the lower left and upper right should be as large as possible with their denominators being small while their numerators are large.

In conclusion, by using the digits 0 to 9, the boxes are filled with their respective numerical values to make the chart accurate as shown in the image attached below.
