Original Figure:
Length = 15
Width = 5
Height = 10
Volume = Length*Width*Height
Volume = 15*5*10
Volume = 750
New Figure
Length = 3
Width = 1
Height = 2
Each dimension has been divided by 5 (eg: 15/5 = 3)
Volume = Length*Width*Height
Volume = 3*1*2
Volume = 6
The old volume was 750 and it changes to 6
Notice how 750/6 = 125
Which can be rearranged to 750/125 = 6
Answer: if you divide the old volume by 125, then you get the new volume
Note: the new volume is 125 times smaller than the old volume
Put another way, the old volume is 125 times larger compared to the new volume
The fact that 125 = 5^3 is not a coincidence. If you divide each dimension by some number k, then you divide the volume by k^3
62+92 is 154. 180- 154 is 26
-18x
you first times the numbers, which becomes -18
Next you add the exponent from the veriables (x) (if you're diving you're subtractiong example: x^a/x^b = x^a-b)
Sooo when you add them you get 8-7=1 which means.. x^1 (but you don't need to put the 1)
-18x
