In rectangle $ABCD$, $AD=1$, $P$ is on $\overline{AB}$, and $\overline{DB}$ and $\overline{DP}$ trisect $\angle ADC$. Write the

perimeter of $\triangle BDP$ in simplest form as: $w + \frac{x \cdot \sqrt{y}}{z}$, where $w, x, y, z$ are nonnegative integers. What is $w + x + y + z$?

<h3>Answer:</h3>

w+x+y+z = 12

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

When right angle ADC is divided into three equal parts (trisected), each of those parts is 90°/3 = 30°. Thus, ∠CDB = ∠PBD = ∠PDB = 30°.

The sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle are in the proportion 1 : √3 : 2. Hence BD = 2, and PD = PB = 2/√3 = (2/3)√3.

Then the perimeter of ∆BDP is ...

... perimeter ∆BDP = BD + DP + PB

... = 2 + (2/3)√3 + (2/3)√3

... = 2 + (4√3)/3 . . . . . . . . w=2, x=4, y=3, z=3

w + x + y + z = 2+4+3+3 = 12

5^(2x-1)+5^(x+1)=250<br> how do you solve?<br> thank you

zepelin [54]

Answer:

<em>x = 2</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Equations</u>

Solve:

$5^{2x-1}+5^{x+1}=250$

Separate each exponential:

$5^{2x}5^{-1}+5^{x}5^{1}=250$

Operating:

$\displaystyle \frac{5^{2x}}{5}+5^{x}5=250$

Multiplying by 5:

$5^{2x}+25\cdot5^x=1250$

Rearranging:

$5^{2x}+25\cdot5^x-1250=0$

Recall that:

$5^{2x}=(5^{x})^2$

$(5^{x})^2+25\cdot5^x-1250=0$

Calling

$y=5^{x}:$

$y^2+25y-1250=0$

Factoring:

$(y-25)(y+50)=0$

There are two possible solutions:

y=25

y=-50

Since

$y=5^{x}$

y cannot be negative, thus:

$5^{x}=25=5^2$

The solution is:

x = 2

Q1. The answer is $\frac{8x^{3}y^{6} }{27}$

$( \frac{16 x^{5} y^{10}}{81x y^{2} } )^{ \frac{3}{4} }= ( \frac{16}{81}* \frac{ x^{5} }{x}* \frac{ y^{10} }{y^{2}} )^{ \frac{3}{4} } \\ \\ 
 \frac{ x^{a} }{ x^{b} }= x^{a-b} \\ \\ 
( \frac{16}{81}* \frac{ x^{5} }{x}*\frac{ y^{10} }{y^{2}} )^{ \frac{3}{4} }}=( \frac{16}{81 }* x^{5-1}* y^{10-2})^{ \frac{3}{4} }=( \frac{16}{81 }* x^{4}* y^{8})^{ \frac{3}{4} }= \\ \\ = (\frac{16}{18} )^{ \frac{3}{4} }*(x^{4})^{ \frac{3}{4} }*(y^{8})^{ \frac{3}{4} }=$
$\frac{(16)^{ \frac{3}{4} }}{(18)^{ \frac{3}{4} }}*(x^{4})^{ \frac{3}{4} }*(y^{8})^{ \frac{3}{4} }=\frac{( 2^{4} )^{ \frac{3}{4} }}{( 3^{4} )^{ \frac{3}{4} }}*(x^{4})^{ \frac{3}{4} }*(y^{8})^{ \frac{3}{4} } \\ \\ 
 (x^{a} )^{b} = x^{a*b} \\ \\ 
\frac{( 2^{4} )^{ \frac{3}{4} }}{( 3^{4} )^{ \frac{3}{4} }}*(x^{4})^{ \frac{3}{4} }*(y^{8})^{ \frac{3}{4} } = \frac{ 2^{4* \frac{3}{4} } }{ 3^{4* \frac{3}{4} } } * x^{4* \frac{3}{4} } * y^{8*\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{ 2^{3} }{ 3^{3} } * x^{3} *y^{6} =$
$= \frac{8x^{3}y^{6} }{27}$

Q2. The answer is 1/16

$(-64) ^ \frac{-2}{3} =(-1* 2^{6} ) ^ \frac{-2}{3}=(-1)^ \frac{-2}{3} *(2^{6} ) ^ \frac{-2}{3} \\\\x^{-a} = \frac{1}{ x^{a} } \\\\(-1)^ \frac{-2}{3} *(2^{6} ) ^ \frac{-2}{3} = \frac{1}{(-1)^ \frac{2}{3}} *\frac{1}{(2^{6})^ \frac{2}{3}} \\ \\ (x^{a} )^{b}=x^{a*b} \\\\x^{ \frac{a}{b} = \sqrt[b]{ x^{a} } } \\ \\ 
$
$\frac{1}{(-1)^ \frac{2}{3}} *\frac{1}{2^{6*\frac{2}{3}}} = \frac{1}{ \sqrt[3]{(-1)^{2} } } * \frac{1}{ 2^{4} } = \frac{1}{ \sqrt[3]{1} } * \frac{1}{16} = \frac{1}{1} * \frac{1}{16}= \frac{1}{16}$

Q3. The answer is $a^{ \frac{7}{6} }$

$a^{ \frac{2}{3} } * a^{ \frac{1}{2} } \\ \\ 
 x^{a}* x^{b} =x^{a+b} \\ \\ 
a^{ \frac{2}{3} } * a^{ \frac{1}{2} }= a^{ \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{2} } =a^{ \frac{2*2}{3*2} + \frac{1*3}{2*3} }=a^{ \frac{4}{6} + \frac{3}{6} }=a^{ \frac{4+3}{6} }=a^{ \frac{7}{6} }$
