Answer:

The correct order of fractions in descending order will be:

$\frac{2}{5}, \frac{11}{30}, \frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given fraction:

$\frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{11}{30}$

To arrange them in descending order.

Solution:

In order to arrange the fractions in descending order, we will have to find the least common denominators.

To find the least common denominator, we will find the least common multiple of the denominators 3,5, and 30.

Since 30 is a common multiple of all 3 numbers, so it will be the least common denominator.

So, we multiply the numerators and denominators with same numbers in order to make the denominators = 30.

So, we have:

$\frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{11}{30}$

⇒ $\frac{1\times 10}{3\times 10}, \frac{2\times 6}{5\times 6}, \frac{11\times 1}{30\times 1}$

⇒ $\frac{10}{30}, \frac{12}{30}, \frac{11}{30}$

Now, we compare the numerators and arrange them accordingly.

$\frac{12}{30} > \frac{11}{30} > \frac{10}{30}$

So, the correct order of fractions in descending order will be:

$\frac{2}{5}, \frac{11}{30}, \frac{1}{3}$

Simplify the following expression as much as you can use exponential properties. (6^-2)(3^-3)(3*6)^4

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Simplifying the expression $(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4$ we get $\mathbf{108}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the expression $(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4$

Solving:

$(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4$

Applying exponent rule: $a^{-m}=\frac{1}{a^m}$

$=\frac{1}{(6^{2})}\frac{1}{(3^{3})}(18)^4\\=\frac{(18)^4}{6^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\$

Factors of $18=2\times 3\times 3=2\times3^2$

Factors of $6=2\times 3$

Replacing terms with factors

$=\frac{(2\times3^2)^4}{(2\times 3)^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\=\frac{(2)^4\times(3^2)^4}{(2)^2\times (3)^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\$

Using exponent rule: $(a^m)^n=a^{m\times n}$

$=\frac{(2)^4\times(3)^8}{(2)^2\times (3)^{2}\:.\:3^{3}} \\=\frac{2^4\times 3^8}{2^2\times 3^{2}\:.\:3^{3}}$

Using exponent rule: $a^m.a^n=a^{m+n}$

$=\frac{2^4\times 3^8}{2^2\times 3^{2+3}}\\=\frac{2^4\times 3^8}{2^2\times 3^{5}}$

Now using exponent rule: $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}$

$=2^{4-2}\times 3^{8-5}\\=2^{2}\times 3^{3}\\=4\times 27\\=108$

So, simplifying the expression $(6^{-2})(3^{-3})(3*6)^4$ we get $\mathbf{108}$

Find the least common multiple (LCM) of 8y^6+ 144y^5+ 640y^4 and 2y^4 + 40y^3 + 200y^2.

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

<em>LCM</em> = $8y^{4}(y+ 10)^{2}(y + 8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Making factors of $8y^{6}+ 144y^{5}+ 640y^{4}$

Taking $8y^{4}$ common:

$\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y^{2}+ 18y+ 80)$

Using <em>factorization</em> method:

$\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y^{2}+ 10y + 8y + 80)\\\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y (y+ 10) + 8(y + 10))\\\Rightarrow 8y^{4} (y+ 10)(y + 8))\\\Rightarrow \underline{2y^{2}} \times 4y^{2} \underline{(y+ 10)}(y + 8)) ..... (1)$

Now, Making factors of $2y^{4} + 40y^{3} + 200y^{2}$

Taking $2y^{2}$ common:

$\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y^{2}+ 20y+ 100)$

Using <em>factorization</em> method:

$\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y^{2}+ 10y+ 10y+ 100)\\\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y (y+ 10) + 10(y + 10))\\\Rightarrow \underline {2y^{2} (y+ 10)}(y + 10) ............ (2)$

The underlined parts show the Highest Common Factor(HCF).

i.e. <em>HCF</em> is $2y^{2} (y+ 10)$ .

We know the relation between <em>LCM, HCF</em> of the two numbers <em>'p' , 'q'</em> and the <em>numbers</em> themselves as:

$HCF \times LCM = p \times q$

Using equations <em>(1)</em> and <em>(2)</em>: $\Rightarrow 2y^{2} (y+ 10) \times LCM = 2y^{2} \times 4y^{2}(y+ 10)(y + 8) \times 2y^{2} (y+ 10)(y + 10)\\\Rightarrow LCM = 2y^{2} \times 4y^{2}(y+ 10)(y + 8) \times (y + 10)\\\Rightarrow LCM = 8y^{4}(y+ 10)^{2}(y + 8)$

Hence, <em>LCM</em> = $8y^{4}(y+ 10)^{2}(y + 8)$
