Explain how to solve the equation: x^4/x^2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Margarita [4]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A better word than "solve" would be "simplify."  The word "equation" does not apply here, since there is no = sign and thus no equation.

The applicable rule here is


x^a / x^b = x^(a-b), so x^4/x^2 = x^(4-2) = x^2 (answer in simplest form)

What is an equivalent expression for 3a + 6ab + 9ab - 3(a + ab)?
Troyanec [42]
The given expression is 3a+6ab+9ab-3(a+ab)

We see from the possible answers they are all in reduced form - variables are grouped together. That means we should also reduce the given expression to see which answer is equivalent to it.

3a+6ab+9ab-3(a+ab)

Let's expand the term inside the parentheses first, by multiplying each term inside by the coefficient of the parentheses, -3.
3a+6ab+9ab-3a-3ab

Now let's group terms which have the same variables.
3a-3a+6ab+9ab+3ab

We can see that there are two groups:
3a-3a
6ab+9ab-3ab

Let's evaluate them separately. We just need to reduce each group now, since we've already grouped similar terms.
3a-3a=0
6ab+9ab-3ab=12ab

If we put the groups back together into the expression,
3a-3a+6ab+9ab-3ab=(3a-3a)+(6ab+9ab-3ab)=0+12ab=12ab

We can see that 3a+6ab+9ab-3(a+ab)=12ab. So (D) is the answer. Hope this helped.
