Why do you subtract exponents when dividing powers with the same base

Well you see, when you have to bases and powers and u don't subtract the exponents the reciprocal wouldn't be the same as the exponents.

The slope of a line that is parallel to each line whose equation is given
Kobotan [32]
Parallel lines, slope is the same so
1) 3x+8y = 12
8y = -3x + 12
  y = -3/8(x) + 3/2, slope = -3/8

slope of a line that is parallel = -3/8

2)5x+4y = 5
  4y = -5x + 5
    y = -5/4(x) + 5/4; slope is -5/4

slope of a line that is parallel = -5/4
--------------------
perpendicular, slope is opposite and reciprocal

3)
3x+8y = 11
 8y = -3x + 11
   y = -3/8(x) + 11/8. slope = -3/8
slope of perpendicular line = 8/3

4)
x = -7, slope is undefined
so slope of perpendicular line is 0

5)
3x+2y = 12
2y = -3x + 12
 y = -3/2(x) + 6 ; slope = -3/2

5x - 6y = 8
6y = 4x - 8
  y = 2/3(x) - 4/3; slope is 2/3

slope is opposite and reciprocal, so the equals are perpendicular

6)
3x + y = 5
y = -3x + 5; slope = -3

6x + 2y = -15
2y = -6x - 15 
y = -3x - 7.5; slope = -3

both have slope = -3 so equations are parallel

I need help, can someone help me
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Yes, the price is proportionate. Every rose cost 3 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 rose * 3 dollars = 3

3 rose * 3 dollars = 9

6 rose * 3 dollars = 18

9 rose * 3 dollars = 27

12 rose * 3 dollars = 36

15 rose * 3 dollars = 45

Equation

R*3=P

OR

Number of roses* 3 dollars per rose = Prices (Dollars)

The length of each side of a square is 6 feet more than the length of a side of a regular Octagon. The perimeter of the square i
goldfiish [28.3K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • square: 12 ft sides
  • octagon: 6 ft sides

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be worked in your head.

If the perimeters of the square and regular octagon are the same, the side length of the 4-sided square must be the same as the length of 2 sides of the 8-sided octagon. Since the side of the square is 6 ft more than the side of the octagon, each side of the octagon must be 6 ft, and each side of the square must be 12 ft.

__

We can let s represent the side length of the octagon. Then we have ...

  8s = perimeter of octagon

  4(s +6) = perimeter of square

These are equal, so ...

  4(s +6) = 8s

  s +6 = 2s . . . . . . divide by 4

  6 = s . . . . . . . . . . subtract s

The octagon has 6-ft sides; the square has 12-ft sides.

HELP ME PLZZZ!!!! URGENT!!!​
finlep [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is,

x² + (p + 1)x = 5 - 2p

x² + (p + 1)x - (5 - 2p) = 0

x² + (p + 1)x + (2p - 5) = 0

Properties for the roots of a quadratic equation,

1). Quadratic equation will have two real roots, discriminant will be greater than zero. [(b² - 4ac) > 0]

2). If the equation has exactly one root, discriminant will be zero [(b² - 4ac) = 0]

3). If equation has imaginary roots, discriminant will be less than zero [(b² - 4ac) < 0].

Discriminant of the given equation = (p+1)^2-4(1)(2p-5)

For real roots,

(p+1)^2-4(1)(2p-5)>0

p² + 2p + 1 - 8p + 20 > 0

p² - 6p + 21 > 0

For all real values of 'p', given equation will be greater than zero.
