How do you simplify this

You ALWAYS remove parentheses first.

That gives you [ 1/4 a⁴ b⁻² ] in the denominator, and then
you can start dividing the numerator and denominator by
their common factors ("canceling").

I think the answer to that might be 1/2 or .5ab^3 because I multiplied the bottom part -2*-2 which is 4ab^4 then the top part is 2ab -3+2= 2ab^-1 then divide 2/4 and subtract -1-4 so it's = 1/2 or .5ab^3

It could be C because 504 is the closest to 1024

Find P on AB that is 2/3 of the distance from A(-3,-5) to B(9,4).

Ludmilka [50]

A line segment can be divided into ratios.

<em>The coordinate of P on line segment AB is (5,1)</em>

Given

$A = (-3,-5)$

$B = (9,4)$

The position of P from A to B is:

$P_A = \frac 23$

So, from P to B would be:

$P_B =1 - \frac 23$

$P_B = \frac 13$

So, the ratio is:

$m : n = \frac 23 : \frac 13$

Simplify

$m : n = 2 :1$

<u>The coordinate of point P is:</u>

$P = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})$

So, we have:

$P = (\frac{2 \times 9 + 1 \times -3}{2 + 1},\frac{2 \times 4 + 1 \times -5}{2 + 1})$

$P = (\frac{15}{3},\frac{3}{3})$

$P = (5,1)$

<em>Hence, the coordinate of P is (5,1)</em>
