Answer:

$y^{-9}\neq \dfrac{1}{y^{-9}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyler simplified the expression: $x^{-3}y^{-9}$ as shown below:

$x^{-3}y^{-9}=\dfrac{1}{x^3}X \dfrac{1}{y^{-9}}=\dfrac{1}{x^3y^{-9}}$

We notice that in Tyler's work:

$y^{-9}= \dfrac{1}{y^{-9}}$

Whereas, the correct form would have been:

$y^{-9}= \dfrac{1}{y^{9}}$

Making our solution:

$x^{-3}y^{-9}=\dfrac{1}{x^3}X \dfrac{1}{y^{9}}=\dfrac{1}{x^3y^{9}}$

24 times 4 tons 2 pounds

Iteru [2.4K]

Ayy, so your question is kinda weirdly worded. But I think your asking what is 24 multiplied by 4 tons and 2 pounds.

Well, 2 pounds is equal to 0.00090718 tons.
There is a converter here: https://www.bing.com/search?q=pounds+to+tons&qs=AS&pq=pounds+to+tons&sc=8-14&sp=1&cvid=7BC591B75A8B4......

But now we have 0.00090718 tons as well as 4 tons. Add those together and you get 4.00090718. Now, multiply this by 24. You get: 96.02177232.

with Judy jogging north and Jackie jogging west (on straight roads). When Jackie is 1 mile farther fro m the intersection than J

miskamm [114]

Let the distance of Judy from intersection is x and distance of Jackie from intersection is y.

We convert the given information to equations, step by step.

Point 1: When Jackie is 1 mile farther from the intersection than Judy.

This means y is 1 mile more than x.

So,

y = 1 + x

Point 2: The distance between them is 2 miles more than Judy’s distance from the intersection.

Distance between is x+ y.

So, x+y is 2 miles more than y.

x+y = y + 2
⇒
x = 2

From point 1 we have:

y = 1 + x = 1+ 2 = 3

So,

Distance of Judy from intersection is 2 miles and distance of Jackie from intersection is 3 miles.

Write 15+45 as a product of two factors using the gcf and the distributive property

valkas [14]

Answer:

15(1 + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

15 written in its prime factors is 3 × 5 (15 × 1)

45 written in its prime factors 3 × 3 × 5 (15 × 3)

The greatest common factor is 15: 15 × 1 = 15 and 15 × 3 is 45

∴ 15 + 45 = 15(1 + 3)

Hope this helps! Make me brainiest, lol it's fine if you don't. : )

I know you want to answer this question.

Alik [6]

Answer:

D. x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ - 3 = $4^{x-3}$ - 2

First, convert $4^{x-3}$ to base 2:

$4^{x-3}$ = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Next, convert $\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ to base 2:

$\frac{1}{2} ^{x-4}$ = $(2^{-1})^{x-4}$

$(2^{-1})^{x-4}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$(2^{-1})^{x-4}$ = $2^{-1*(x-4)}$

$2^{-1*(x-4)}$ - 3 = $(2^{2})^{x-3}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$(2^{2})^{x-3}$ = $2^{2(x-3)}$

$2^{-1*(x-4)}$ - 3 = $2^{2(x-3)}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $a^{b+c}$ = $a^{b}$ $a^{c}$ :

$2^{-1(x-4)}$ = $2^{-1x}$ * $2^{4}$ , $2^{2(x-3)}$ = $2^{2x}$ * $2^{-6}$

$2^{-1 * x}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $2^{2x}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Apply exponent rule: $(a^{b})^{c}$ = $a^{bc}$ :

$2^{-1x}$ = $(2^{x})^{-1}$ , $2^{2x}$ = $(2^{x})^{2}$

$(2^{x})^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $(2^{x})^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Rewrite the equation with $2^{x} = u$ :

$(u)^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $(u)^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Solve $u^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $u^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2:

$u^{-1}$ * $2^{4}$ - 3 = $u^{2}$ * $2^{-6}$ - 2

Refine:

$\frac{16}{u}$ - 3 = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ - 2

Add 3 to both sides:

$\frac{16}{u}$ - 3 + 3 = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ - 2 + 3

Simplify:

$\frac{16}{u}$ = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1

Multiply by the Least Common Multiplier (64u):

$\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1 * 64u

Simplify:

$\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u = $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ + 1 * 64u

Simplify $\frac{16}{u}$ * 64u:

1024

Simplify $\frac{1}{64}$ $u^{2}$ * 64u:

$u^{3}$

Substitute:

1024 = $u^{3}$ + 64u

Solve for u:

u = 8

Substitute back u = $2^{x}$ :

8 = $2^{x}$

Solve for x:

x = 3

Solve - 2/5x is less than or equal to 20

sashaice [31]

Answer:

x is less than or equal to 0

Step-by-step explanation:

- you need to multiply both sides of the inequality by 5/2

- then you reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 5

- then you reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 2

- any expression multiplied by 0 equals 0

- so you get x is less than or equal to 0

^^^ hope this helps! :)
