Mathematics

Kruka [31]2 years ago

Answer:

225 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be l and width be w

Condition 1

2l+2w=68 (Perimeter=68)--------(i)

Condition 2

l=3w-2 ---------(ii)

Putting equation (ii) in (i)

2(3w-2)+2w=68

6w-4+2w=68

8w-4=68

8w=68+4

8w=72

dividing both sides by 8

w=9 inches

now putting w=9 in (ii)

l=3(9)-2

l=27-2

l=25 inches

Now

Area of rectangle =  l × w

=9 × 25

=225 inches²

Simplify the expression 5^3 x 5^-5
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

\frac{1}{5^2} --- 1 over 5 squared

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying terms with a common base, you just add the exponents:

x^a\times x^b=x^{a+ b}

That's true even when you don't have any exponents.

5\times5=5^1\times5^1=5^{1+1}=5^2=25

\rightarrow5^3\times5^{-5}\\\rightarrow5^{3-5}\\\rightarrow5^{-2}

A negative exponent isn't fully simplified, so there's another rule to use:

x^{-y}=\frac{1}{x^y}

That is '1 over x to the y' if it's too small to read.

\rightarrow5^{-2}=\frac{1}{5^2}
