Answer:

A. \frac{3}{x^2}

B. \frac{10x^6}{y^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

Our expression is: 3x^{-2}, where we have a negative exponent.

Remember that negative exponents are the same as taking the reciprocal of the number and taking that to the positive exponent.

Here, we have x^{-2}, so its reciprocal is just 1/x. Now, we take the positive square of the reciprocal: \frac{1}{x^2}. Put the 3 in and our final answer is: \frac{3}{x^2}.

B.

Our expression is: 5x^2y(2x^4y^{-3}). Basically, we're multiplying these together.

Remember that when multiplying numbers with the same base, we always add the exponents. Here, we have:

5x^2y(2x^4y^{-3})=5*2*x^2y*x^4y^{-3}=10x^2y*x^4y^{-3}

The two x terms will combine to become x^{2+4}=x^6, and the two y terms will combine to become y^{1+(-3)}=y^{-2}=\frac{1}{y^2}.

The final answer is: \frac{10x^6}{y^2}.

<h3>I’ll teach you solve 3x^-2 and 5x^2y(2x^4y^-3)</h3>

——————————————

(A)

3x^-2

Apply exponent rule:

3*1/x^2

Multiply fractions:

1*3/x^2

Multiply the numbers:

1*3= 3

3/x^2

Your Answer Is \frac{3}{x^{2} }

(B)

5x^2y(2x^4 y^-3)

Apply exponent rule:

5y*2x^2+4 y^-3

Add the numbers:

2+4= 6

5y*2x^6 y^-3

Apply exponent rule:

5*2x^6 y^1-3

Subtract the numbers:

1-3= -2

5*2x^6 y^-2

Apply exponent rule:

5*2* 1/y^2 x^6

Multiply fractions:

1*5*2x^6/y^2

Multiply the numbers:

1*5*2= 10

10x^6/y^2

Your Answer Is \frac{10x^{6} }{y^{2} }

Plz mark me as brainliest if this helped :)

A regular hexagon has sides of 2 feet. What is the area of the hexagon?
il63 [147K]

Trigonometry would help with this question.

The area of a regular hexagon is ((3√3)s^2)/2 where s is the side.

Plugging in 2 gives us 6√3 or 10.39 feet.

Help me out now Please I'm stuck on this
Elena-2011 [213]

5x + 2(x + 1) ≤ 23

Distribute the 2.

5x + 2x + 2 ≤ 23

Combine like terms.

7x + 2 ≤ 23

Subtract 2 from both sides.

7x ≤ 21

Divide both sides by 7

x ≤ 3
