<u>Given</u>:
The given expression is 
We need to determine how the expression can be simplified.
<u>Simplifying the expression:</u>
Let us determine how the expression can be simplified.
The expression is given by

Applying the exponent rule that
in the above expression, we get;

Adding the exponents, we get;

Again, applying the exponent rule
, we get;

Thus, the simplified expression is 
Hence, the expression is simplified by adding the exponents and keep the same base. Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
Christy should make at least 30 bracelets and at most 40 necklaces to maximize profit
<h3>How to determine how many bead of each type of bracelets and necklaces should Christy make to maximize his profit?</h3>
The given parameters can be represented in the following tabular form:
Bracelet (x) Necklace (y) Total
Labor (hour) 0.5 0.75 40
Profit 10 18
From the above table, we have the following:
Objective function:
Max P = 10x + 18y
Subject to:
0.5x + 0.75y <= 40
Because she wants to make at least 30 bracelets, we have:
x >= 30
So, we have:
Max P = 10x + 18y
Subject to:
0.5x + 0.75y <= 40
x >= 30
Express x >= 30 as equation
x = 30
Substitute x = 30 in 0.5x + 0.75y <= 40
0.5 * 30 + 0.75y <= 40
This gives
15 + 0.75y <= 40
Subtract 15 from both sides
0.75y <= 30
Divide by 0.75
y <= 40
Hence, Christy should make at least 30 bracelets and at most 40 necklaces to maximize profit

To find the surface area, you need to do the following:
A side of the figure is a trapezoid, so you should do 13+5x7 (since there are 2 of the same sides there is no need to divide by two.) and it should equal 126. To find the area of the top of the figure, you need to do 5x2 which equals 10. The area of the bottom of the figure is 26 (13x2), then do 2x3x2 to get the sides on the left and right of the figure. After all of this, add them together. (126+10+26+12=174.)
The surface area should be 174mm.
X = 97
