Answer: x=12


Step-by-step explanation:

1. Accoding to the Side-Splitter Theorem, if a line interesect two sides of the triangle and it is parallel to the third side, then the other two sides are divided by the line proportionally.

2. Then, you can form the following proportion:

\frac{PA}{BP}=\frac{QA}{CQ}

3. Substitute values and solve for x:

\frac{8}{x}=\frac{12}{18}\\18*8=12x\\x=12

Select all the expressions that are equivalent to (2)^n+³
eimsori [14]

Answer:

The expressions which equivalent to  (2)^{n+3} are:

4(2)^{n+1}  ⇒ B

8(2)^{n} ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some rules of exponent

  • a^{m} × a^{m}  = a^{m+n}
  • (a^{m})^{n} = a^{m*n}

Now let us find the equivalent expressions of  (2)^{n+3}

A.

∵ 4 = 2 × 2

∴ 4 =  2^{2}

∴  (4)^{n+2} =  (2^{2})^{n+2}

- By using the second rule above multiply 2 and (n + 2)

∵ 2(n + 2) = 2n + 4

∴  (4)^{n+2} =  (2)^{2n+4}  

B.

∵ 4 = 2 × 2

∴ 4 =  2²

∴  4(2)^{n+1} = 2² ×  (2)^{n+1}

- By using the first rule rule add the exponents of 2

∵ 2 + n + 1 = n + 3

∴   4(2)^{n+1} =  (2)^{n+3}

C.

∵ 8 = 2 × 2 × 2

∴ 8 =  2³

∴  8(2)^{n} = 2³ ×  (2)^{n}

- By using the first rule rule add the exponents of 2

∵ 3 + n = n + 3

∴  8(2)^{n} =  (2)^{n+3}

D.

∵ 16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

∴ 16 = 2^{4}

∴  16(2)^{n} = 2^{4}  ×  (2)^{n}

- By using the first rule rule add the exponents of 2

∵ 4 + n = n + 4

∴  16(2)^{n} =  (2)^{n+4}

E.

(2)^{2n+3} is in its simplest form

The expressions which equivalent to  (2)^{n+3} are:

4(2)^{n+1}  ⇒ B

8(2)^{n} ⇒ C
