1. Take out the constants
-(2 x 3 x 4 x 2)xxyy^3
2. Simplify 2 x 3 x 4 x 2 to 48
-48xxyy^3
3. Use Product Rule: x^ax^b = x^a+b
-48x^1+1y^1+3
4. Simplify 1 + 1 to 2
-48x^2y^1+3
5. Simplify 1 + 3 to 4
-48x^2y^4
1/(x^5) is equal to x^-5, by the definition of negative exponents.
Answer:
r = 18/pi
or approximately 5.7325 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The circumference is given by
C = 2*pi*r
36 = 2*pi*r
Divide each side by 2 pi
36/(2pi) = r
18/pi = r
Letting pi = 3.14
18/3.14
5.732484076 = r
