Question

For what value of x is sq 896z^15/225z^6 = xz^4/15

Answer 1

Answer:

Value of x is, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  $\sqrt{\frac{896z^{15}}{225z^6}} =\frac{xz^4}{15} \sqrt{14z}$ ,.....[1]

To find the value of x:

Using exponent rules:

• $(a^n)^m = a^{nm}$

• $a^n \cdot a^m = a^{n+m}$

Taking square both sides in [1] we have;

$\frac{896z^{15}}{225z^6} = (\frac{xz^4}{15})^2 \cdot (14z)$

Simplify:

$\frac{896z^{15}}{225z^6} =\frac{x^2z^8}{225} \cdot (14z)$

or

$\frac{896z^{15}}{225z^6} =\frac{14x^2z^9}{225}$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{225}{14z^9}$ we get;

$x^2 = \frac{896 z^{15}}{225z^6} \times \frac{225}{14 z^9} = \frac{896 z^{15}}{14 z^{9+6}}$

Simplify:

$x^2 = \frac{896 z^{15}}{14 z^{15}} = 64$

or

$x = \sqrt{64}$

Simplify:

x = 8

Therefore, the value of x is, 8
