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.

What is the solution to the equation? <br><br> 14g=154
irinina [24]

Answer:

g = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

14g = 154

You have 14g. 14g means 14 times g. You want g alone. To get 14 alone, since g is being multiplied by 14, you must do the opposite operation. The opposite of multiplying by 14 is dividing by 14. The rule with equations is that you must do the same operation to both sides. Divide both sides by 14.

14g/14 = 154/14

g = 11

Discuss the validity of the following statement. If the statement is always​ true, explain why. If​ not, give a counterexample.
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

P(E \cup F)=P(E)+P(F).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement

If P(E)+P(F)=P(E \cup F)+P(E \cap F), then E and F are mutually exclusive events.

If two events are mutually exclusive, they have no elements in common. Thus, P(E∩F)=0.

Therefore, the statement is always true as P(E∩F)=0

For mutually exclusive events:

P(E \cup F)=P(E)+P(F).
