This is really confusing me: Simplify so that your answers contain only positive exponents.

Mathematics
1 answer:
xxTIMURxx [149]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplifying expressions of this sort, there are four rules of exponents that come into play;

  a^ba^c=a^{b+c}\\\\(ab)^c=a^cb^c\\\\(a^b)^c=a^{bc}\\\\\dfrac{1}{a^b}=a^{-b}\ \quad\text{which means}\quad a^b=\dfrac{1}{a^{-b}}

__

I find it convenient to eliminate the fractions by adding the exponents, then rewrite any negative exponents as denominator factors.

23. \quad\dfrac{1}{x^{-2}}=x^2\\\\24. \quad\dfrac{mn}{m^2n^3}=m^{1-2}n^{1-3}=m^{-1}n^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{mn^2}\\\\25. \quad\dfrac{k^{-2}}{k^{-3}}=k^{-2-(-3)}=k\\\\26. \quad\left(\dfrac{m^2}{n^3}\right)^3=\dfrac{m^{2\cdot 3}}{n^{3\cdot 3}}=\dfrac{m^6}{n^9}\\\\27. \quad\dfrac{x^2y^3z^4}{x^{-3}y^{-4}z^{-5}}=x^{2-(-3)}y^{3-(-4)}z^{4-(-5)}=x^5y^7z^9

You have quarters and dimes that total $2.80. Your friend says it is possible that the number of quarters is 8 more than the num
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d = number of dimes

2.80 = 0.1d + 0.25 (d + 8 )

2.80 = 0.1d + 0.25d + 2            Combine like terms

2.80 = 0.35d + 2                       Subtract 2 from both sides

0.80 = 0.35d                             Divide both sides by 0.35

d ≈ 2.29

No, it's not possible to have more quarters than dimes when the total is $2.80 because it's not possible to have part of a dime.
