Simplify;<br> 26 ⋅ 26^8<br><br> Please also explain how you got the answer.

antoniya [11.8K]

26 ⋅ 26^8

Multiply by adding the exponents:

Raise 26 to the power of 1 to get:

26^1 * 26^8

Now when you multiply the same number raised to different powers, you add the powers together:

26^1 * 26^8 = 26^(8+1) = 26^9

So 26 * 26^8 simplifies is 26^9

What two numbers multiply to -126 and add up to -65

Airida [17]

Xy = -126
x + y = -65

$xy = -126$
$\frac{xy}{x} = \frac{-126}{x}$
$y = \frac{-126}{x}$

$x + y = -65$
$x + \frac{-126}{x} = -65$
$\frac{x^{2}}{x} + \frac{-126}{x} = -65$
$\frac{x^{2} - 126}{x} = -65$
$-65x = x^{2} - 126$
$0 = x^{2} + 65x - 126$
$x = \frac{-(65) \+ \sqrt{(65)^{2} - 4(1)(-126)}}{2(1)}$
$x = \frac{-65 \± \sqrt{4225 + 504}}{2}$
$x = \frac{-65 \± \sqrt{4729}}{2}$
$x = \frac{-65 \± 68.8}{2}$
$x = \frac{-65 + 68.8}{2}$ $or$ $x = \frac{-65 - 68.8}{2}$
$x = \frac{3.8}{2}$ $or$ $x = \frac{-133.8}{2}$
$x = 1.9$ $or$ $x = -66.9$

x + y = -65
  1.9 + y = -65
- 1.9   - 1.9
y = -66.9
  (x, y) = (1.9, -66.9)

or

  x + y = -65
  -66.9 + y = -65
+ 66.9 + 66.9
y = 1.9
  (x, y) = (-66.9, 1.9)

The two numbers that add up to -65 and can multiply to -126 are the numbers -66.9 and 1.9.
