Answer:

A) (-17+5k,17-4k)

B)  (-4+3k,4-2k)

C) No integer pairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this, I'm going to use Euclidean's Algorithm.

4x+5y=17

5=4(1)+1

4=1(4)

So going backwards through those equations:

5-4(1)=1

-4(1)+5(1)=1

Multiply both sides by 17:

4(-17)+5(17)=17

So one integer pair satisfying 4x+5y=17 is (-17,17).

What is the slope for this equation?

Let's put it in slope-intercept form:

4x+5y=17

Subtract 4x on both sides:

     5y=-4x+17

Divide both sides by 5:

      y=(-4/5)x+(17/5)

The slope is down 4 and right 5.

So let's show more solutions other than (-17,17) by using the slope.

All integer pairs satisfying this equation is (-17+5k,17-4k).

Let's check:

4(-17+5k)+5(17-4k)

-68+20k+85-20k

-68+85

17

That was exactly what we wanted since we were looking for integer pairs that satisfy 4x+5y=17.

Onward to the next problem.

6x+9y=12

9=6(1)+3

6=3(2)

Now backwards through the equations:

9-6(1)=3

9(1)-6(1)=3

Multiply both sides by 4:

9(4)-6(4)=12

-6(4)+9(4)=12

6(-4)+9(4)=12

So one integer pair satisfying 6x+9y=12 is (-4,4).

Let's find the slope of 6x+9y=12.

6x+9y=12

Subtract 6x on both sides:

      9y=-6x+12

Divide both sides by 9:

       y=(-6/9)x+(12/9)

Reduce:

       y=(-2/3)x+(4/3)

The slope is down 2 right 3.

So all the integer pairs are (-4+3k,4-2k).

Let's check:

6(-4+3k)+9(4-2k)

-24+18k+36-18k

-24+36

12

That checks out since we wanted integer pairs that made 6x+9y=12.

Onward to the last problem.

4x+10y=9

10=4(2)+2

4=2(2)

So the gcd(4,10)=2 which means this one doesn't have any solutions because there is no integer k such that 2k=9.

Multiply.
Helen [10]
Okay. When it comes to multiplying decimals, you multiply them just like you would do whole numbers. However, solving them by paper, you would add a decimal point into the answer, depending on how many numbers are behind the decimal point in the numbers being multiplied. In this case, the decimal point will go in front of two numbers, because there are two numbers behind the decimal point in -1.2 and 0.4. Know that the answer will be negative, because there is one negative and one positive number.
Multiply both numbers. -1.2 * 0.4 is -0.48. There. The product is -0.48.

Rewrite the expression using only positive integer exponents.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

So we got:

\left(m^{\frac{2}{3}}n^{\frac{-1}{3}}\right)^6

m^4\left(n^{\frac{-1}{3}}\right)^6\\

More attention for (n^{\frac{-1}{3}}\right))^6\\

n^{-2}

\frac{1}{n^2}

Join:

m^4\frac{1}{n^2}

\frac{1\cdot \:m^4}{n^2}\\\frac{m^4}{n^2}

Therefore, the answer is \frac{m^4}{n^2} , letter A
