Answer:

-24a^3 b^7

Step-by-step explanation:

(3a^2b^4)(-8ab^3)

Step 1: Multiply the coefficients

= -24a^2. b^4. a. b^3

Step 2: Using the exponent rule : a^m.a^n = a^(m +n)

If we have to the same base, we can add the powers.

Applying the rule, we get

= -24.a^(2 +1).b^(4 +3)

= -24a^3 b^7.

Answer is -24a^3 b^7.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

A house is built on coordinates (2,9). There is a water pipeline that runs along the line y = 2 3 x – 1. What is the approximate

Basile [38]

Answer:

7.21 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest length needed to connect the house to the existing pipeline is the perpendicular distance between the location of the house (2,9) and the line y = 2/3x - 1.

The perpendicular distance (d) between a point ( $x_1,y_1$ ) and the line Ax + By + C = 0 is given as:

$d=\frac{|Ax_1+By_1+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2} }$

The line is given by y = 2/3 x - 1; 2/3x - y - 1 = 0. The point = (2, 9)

hence A = 2/3, B = -1, C = -1, $x_1=2,y_1=9\\$ . Therefore:

$d=\frac{|\frac{2}{3}(2)+(-1)(9)+(-1) |}{\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}^2+(-1)^2 } } \\\\d=7.21$

The new iPhone 3.14 is being sold at the UT Math Department. The original price is $1200 (day 0), but they are going to decrease

$\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay} \\\\ A=P(1 - r)^t\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill&50.14\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &1200\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\dotfill\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &16\\ \end{cases}$

$\bf 50.14=1200(1-r)^{16}\implies \cfrac{50.14}{1200}=(1-r)^{16}\implies \sqrt[16]{\cfrac{50.14}{1200}}=1-r \\\\\\ r=1-\sqrt[16]{\cfrac{50.14}{1200}}\implies r\approx 0.18\implies \stackrel{\textit{converting to percent}}{r\approx 0.18\cdot 100}\implies r\approx \stackrel{\%}{18}\quad \leftarrow x$
