Answer: Subtract

Step-by-step explanation: Make your denominator equal using the concept of LCM, then subtract the numerators accordingly. Rewrite each fraction to its equivilent fraction with a denominator equal to the LCM=30, then you need to subtract the numberators, but make sure to reduce your answer to the lowest possible term. I hope this helps.

If the expression $3^1 times 9^2 times 27^3 \times 81^4 is simplified to the form 3^n, what is the value of n?

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

$n=30$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

$3^1\times 9^2\times 27^3\times 81^4$

The given expression needs to be simplified to the form $3^n$

Applying the exponents rule to simplify.

$3^1\times 9^2\times 27^3\times 81^4$

Writing all numbers as product of 3.

⇒ $3^1\times (3\times3)^2\times (3\times3\times3)^3\times (3\times3\times3\times3)^4$

Writing each in exponents form.

⇒ $3^1\times (3^2)^2\times (3^3)^3\times (3^4)^4$

Using power of a power rule $[\ (a^x)^y=a^{xy}\ ]$

⇒ $3^1\times 3^4\times 3^9\times 3^16$

Using multiplication rule of exponents $[\ a^x\times a^y=a^{x+y}\ ]$

⇒ $3^{1+4+9+16}$

⇒ $3^{30}$

So we have $3^n=3^{30}$

∴ $n=30$

a rectangular mural measures 3.5ft by 5.5ft. Rosalie creates a new mural that is 1.5 ft longer. What is the perimeter of Rosalie

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

P = length + width x 2
P = 3.5ft + 5.5ft x 2
P = 9ft x 2
P = 18ft + 1.5ft (the new mural)
P = 19.5ft

Therefore the perimeter of Rosalie's new mural is 19.5ft
