From the problem :

In multiplying expressions with the same bases, the exponent will be added accordingly.
For example :

the exponent of a are m and n, and the product will be a raised to the sum of m and n.
Applying this to the problem, we have :

The answer is d. 6^-1
Answer:
1. The scale factor here is 1.5
2. The scale factor here is 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we shall be dealing with scales of triangles.
we have two triangles;
ABC and DEF
longest sides are in the ratio;
12 : 8
1. What scale factor translates DEF to ABC?
The ratio of the length can be beaten down to 3:2
So therefore, we can see that by multiplying the sides of of DEF by 1.5, we can arrive at the sides of ABC
So the scale factor here is 1.5
2. This is like the other way round of what we have above.
By multiplying the sides of ABC by 2/3, we shall have the sides of DEF
Answer:
The number 1 is not necessary when expressing powers of one. For example, you needn't write "5" as
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: i) 1 - 9x² - 12x
ii) 17 - 3x²
iii) - 20 + 10x² - x⁴
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
g(x) = 3x + 2 h(x) = 5 - x²
i) h(g(x))
h(3x + 2) = 5 - (3x + 2)²
= 5 - (9x² + 12x + 4)
= 5 - 9x² - 12x - 4
= 1 - 9x² - 12x
ii) g(h(x))
g(5 - x²) = 3(5 - x²) + 2
= 15 - 3x² + 2
= 17 - 3x²
iii) h(h(x))
h(5 - x²) = 5 - (5 - x²)²
= 5 - (25 - 10x² + x⁴)
= 5 - 25 + 10x² - x⁴
= -20 + 10x² - x⁴
