When you multiply a same number but with different powers, you can simply add the powers together. So, in your question, add the powers -1 and -7 together.
7^(-1) x 7^(-7) = 7^(-8)
When you divide a same number but with different powers, you subtract the power at the top with the power from the denominator. So, -8 - (-7) = -1.
7^(-8) / 7^(-7) = 7^(-1)
So your answer would be 7^(-1).
Hopefully my explanation was clear?
Answer:
2304
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given :- </u>
- A geometric sequence is given to us which is 9 , -18 , 36.
And we need to find out the 9th term of the sequence. Here firstly we should find the Common Ratio and then we can substitute the respective values in the formula to find the nth term of a geometric sequence .
<u>Common Ratio :- </u>
CR = -18÷ 9 = -2
<u>The </u><u>9</u><u> th term :- </u>
T_n = arⁿ - ¹
T_9 = 9× (-2) ⁹ - ¹
T_9 = 9 × (-2)⁸
T_9 = 9 × 256
T_9 = 2304
<u>Hence the 10th term is </u><u>2</u><u>3</u><u>0</u><u>4</u><u>.</u>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Left
When a square = a linear, always expand the squared expression.
x^2 - 2x + 1 = 3x - 5 Subtract 3x from both sides
x^2 - 2x - 3x + 1 = -5
x^2 - 5x +1 = - 5 Add 5 to both sides
x^2 - 5x + 1 + 5 = -5 + 5
x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0
This factors
(x - 2)(x - 3)
So one solution is x = 2 and the other is x = 3
Second from the Left
i = sqrt(-1)
i^2 = - 1
i^4 = (i^2)(i^2)
i^4 = - 1 * -1
i^4 = 1
16(i^4) - 8(i^2) + 4
16(1) - 8(-1) + 4
16 + 8 + 4
28
Second from the Right
This one is rather long. I'll get you the equations, you can solve for a and b. Maybe not as long as I think.
12 = 8a + b
<u>17 = 12a + b Subtract</u>
-5 = - 4a
a = - 5/-4 = 1.25
12 = 8*1.25 + b
12 = 10 + b
b = 12 - 10
b = 2
Now they want a + b
a + b = 1.25 + 2 = 3.25
Right
One of the ways to do this is to take out the common factor. You could also expand the square and remove the brackets of (2x - 2). Both will give you the same answer. I think expansion might be easier for you to understand, but the common factor method is shorter.
(2x - 2)^2 = 4x^2 - 8x + 4
4x^2 - 8x + 4 - 2x + 2
4x^2 - 10x + 6 The problem is factoring since neither of the first two equations work.
(2x - 2)(2x - 3) This is correct.
So the answer is D
Answer:
If not a then not b
