<u>Part a)</u>
Given the expression

Apply exponent rule: 
∵ 
Rewrite 81 as 3 · 27
Rewrite 54 as 2 · 27

Factor out the common term: 27m³n
Therefore,

<u>Part B)</u>
Given the expression

Apply exponent rule: 

Rewrite as

Factor out common term 5y²x²z

Therefore,

Answer:
1200 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
x-0.16x=1008
.84x=1008
x=1200 dollars
The volume of a cylinder is pi*r^2*h
The radius is half the diameter, so 40/2=20, and the radius is 20 ft.
Plugging in: pi*20^2*32=pi*400*32=12800pi=40212.38597
So the volume is about 40212.4 ft^3 and the expression we used is pi*20^2*32
Hope this helped!
