The expression (p20)(p−4)2 is equivalent to pn . What is the value of n?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

n = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(p^{20})(p^{-4})^2 = p^n

Required

What is n?

(p^{20})(p^{-4})^2 = p^n

Apply law of indices

(p^{20})(p^{-4 * 2}) = p^n

Express -4 * 2 as -8

(p^{20})(p^{-8}) = p^n

Apply law of indices

p^{20 - 8} = p^n

p^{12} = p^n

Cancel p on both sides

12 = n

n = 12

Prove each of these identities.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Identity (a) can be re-written as

sec x\ cosec x  - cot x = tan x

which we already proven in another question, while for idenity (b)

(A)\frac 1 {sin x} -sin x = cos x \frac{cos x}{sin x}\\\\(B)\frac {1-sin^2x}{sin x} = \frac {cos^2x} {sin x} \\\\(C) \frac {cos^2x}{sin x} =\frac {cos^2x} {sin x}

step A is simply expressing each function in terms of sine and cosine.

step B is adding the terms on the LHS while multiplying the one on RHS.

step C is replacing the term on the numerator with the equivalent from the pithagorean identity cos^2x  + sin^2x = 1

A travel agent is booking trips for tourists who travel from New York to Chicago. Tourists have three choices for how to travel
Hitman42 [59]

List all the different combinations with total cost:

Airplane  + van = 350 + 60 = $410

Airplane  + cab = 350 + 40 = $390

Bus + van = 150 + 60 = $210

Bus + cab = 150 + 40 = $190

Train + van = 225 + 60 = $285

Train + cab = 225 + 40 = $265

There are 6 different combinations.

There are 2 that are more than $300

The probability would be quantity higher than 300 / total combinations.

Probability = 2/6 = 1/3
