Given

x^5*k=a .................(1)

x^2*k=b .................(2)

We need to find x^3.

Solution:

On inspection, we note that (1)/(2) gives x^3 on the left hand side, but the division is valid on conditions that x ≠ 0 and k ≠ 0.

So we conclude:

(1) / (2)

\frac{x^5*k}{x^2*k^2} = \frac{a}{b}

=>

\frac{x^3}{k} = \frac{a}{b}

=>

x^3= \frac{ak}{b} on condition that x\ne{0} and k\ne{0}

Remark.

The easiest way to do this is simply to leave the givens alone and divide. Parts of it will cancel out. You can't always do this, but this question is an example of leaving things be.

Step One

Divide the two expressions

\dfrac{x^5*k}{x^2*k^2} = \dfrac{a}{b}

Now you use the index laws to get what you need. Forget the ks on the left for a second and just work with the xs.

\dfrac{x^{5-2} * k}{k^{2}} = \dfrac{a}{b}

The law of indices says that it you want to bring the power of the same base to the numerator, you write the base in the numerator, and subtract the power that was in the denominator from the power in the numerator. x^(5 - 2) in this case.

Step Two

Next deal with the ks.

The same law applies for the ks. You subtract the power shown in the numerator from the power of the k in the denominator, in this case 1/k^(2 - 1)

\dfrac{x^3}{k^{2 - 1}} = \dfrac{a}{b}\\ \\ \dfrac{x^3}{k} = \dfrac{a}{b}

Step Three

The last step is to multiply both sides by k

\dfrac{x^3 * k}{k} = \dfrac{k*a}{b}

Giving as your final answer

x^{3} = \dfrac{ka}{b}

Dr. David Smith lived 1/13 of his life as a child. He spent 4/39 of his life preparing for an outstanding
stich3 [128]

Answer:

40 14/25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, this certainly is fun.

First, to find the fraction of the doctor's life which 13 years represents, subtract the fractions from 1 (and in this case l stands for lifetime):

13 = (1 - (\frac{1}{13} + \frac{4}{39} + \frac{1}{2}))(l)

13 = (\frac{25}{78})(l)

So, multiply this equation by the reciprocal of 25/78 to isolate one of l:

13(\frac{78}{25}) = l

l = 40\frac{14}{25} years

What is the relationship between the lines determined by the following two equations?
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

C. They are the same line.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to compare the linear equations given, they need to be in the same form.  The best form in order to evaluate slope and y-intercept is slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.  Since the second equation is already in slope-intercept form, we need to use inverse operations to convert the first equation:

6x - 2y = 16 ----  6x - 2y - 6x = 16 - 6x ----  -2y = -6x + 16

-2y/-2 = -6x/-2 + 16/-2

y = 3x - 8

Since both equations are in the form y = 3x - 8, then they are both the same line.

So if a video that is 15:34 how long is it when 2 times speed
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

7:47

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are two ways of solving this:

The video will be half the time of 15:34, so you need to divide the time 15:34 by 2.

Method 1)

Use the tip. The video is 15 minutes and 34 seconds long.

Convert minutes to seconds: 15 * 60 = 900

Add 34 seconds to the 15 minutes: 900 seconds + 34 seconds = 934 seconds

The video is 934 seconds long.

Divide the total seconds by 2: 934/2 = 467

467 seconds = 420 seconds + 47 seconds = 7 minutes and 47 seconds

Answer: 7:47

Method 2)

Divide the minutes by 2 and divide the seconds by 2.

15 minutes and 34 seconds.

Divide minutes by 2: 15/2 = 7.5

Divide seconds by 2: 34/2 = 17

Now we need to add 7.5 minutes and 34 seconds.

0.5 minutes is half a minute, so it's 30 seconds.

7.5 minutes + 17 seconds =

= 7 minutes + 0.5 minute + 17 seconds

= 7 minutes + 30 seconds + 17 seconds

= 7 minutes + 47 seconds

= 7:47

Answer: 7:47

Please help me! I need this answered fast!
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Question 1: A

Question 2: C

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to question 1 is A. I know this is correct because Max needs to earn 108 dollars for the headphones he wants so the amount of money he earns per hour which is 15, times the amount of hours he needs to work which is x has to be greater than 108. So, the inequality equation has to be 15x > 108 which is answer A.

The answer to question 2 is C. I know this is correct because Felicia has 2 sisters which make 3 sisters in total to pay for the gift. They all pay evenly, so the first part of the equation would be 3x. The cost for the gift is less than 80 dollars, so we write the inequality equation like 3x < 80 which is answer C.
