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

Mathematics

xxTIMURxx [149]3 years ago

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

Hey friend, hope I can assist you!
I will solve by elimination <3.
Multiply 3x - 7y = 2 by 2: 6x - 14y = 4
6x - 14y = 4
6x - 9y = 9
5y = 5
Now we have
6x - 14y = 4
5y = 5
Now we want to solve 5y = 5 for y
So simply divide both sides by 5.
5y/5 = 5/5
This gives us one or in other words, y = 1.
Now we want to plug y = 1 into  6x - 14y = 4
So 6x - 14 * 1 = 4
This gives us
6x - 14 = 4
Now add 14 to both sides.
6x - 14 + 14 = 4 + 14
6x = 18
Now divide both sides by 6
6x/6 = 18/6
This gives us 3 so x = 3
Therefore our solutions to this system of equations would be y = 1 and x = 3

Eloise's rabbit cage is shape like a rectangular prism. The cage has a height of 28 inches and a volume of 8,680 cubic inches. E
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

310 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A rectangular prism cage has a height of 28 inches.

           Volume of prism is 8680 cubic inches.

           

We know the area of base of rectangular prism is equal to the area of rectangle.

∴ Lets find out the lenght and width of rectangular prism.

Volume of rectangular prism= w\times l\times h

Where, w is width

             l is length

             h is height.

Now, putting the value in the formula of volume.

⇒ 8,680= w\times l\times 28

cross multiplying

⇒ wl= \frac{8680}{28}

∴ wl= 310 inches²

As we need to find the area of the plastic mat on the bottom of the cage, which is rectangle in shape.

Area of rectangle= wl

∴ Area of rectangle= 310 inches²

Hence,  310 inches² is the area of the plastic mat on the bottom of the cage.
