Select all the expressions equivalent to: (4^5)⋅4^3 Group of answer choice 2^14 4^12 2^16 16^8 4^8 16^4

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Choices given as $2^{16}, 4^8$ and $16^4$ are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,

$(4^5)(4^3)$

By applying law of exponents in the given expression,

$(4^5)(4^3)=4^{5+3}$

$=4^8$

$(4^5)(4^3)=(2^2)^5(2^2)^3$

$=(2^{2\times 5})(2^{2\times 3})$

$=2^{10}\times 2^6$

$=2^{16}$

$=(2^4)^4$

$=(16)^4$

Therefore, choices given as $2^{16}, 4^8$ and $16^4$ are correct.

If two angles are supplementary and one angle measures 47°, what is the measure of the other angle? 43° 133° 53° 47°

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

x = 133

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add to 180 degrees. Call the unknown angle x

47 +x = 180

Subtract 47 from each side

47-47+x =180-47

x = 133

How do I solve this equation 144=-12(x+5)

Papessa [141]

First you distribute the -12 to the (x+5) getting 144=-12x-60.

Next you add 60 to each side getting 204=-12x

Then you divide each side by -12 getting -17=x, which is the answer.<span />
