What are you trying to find?
Part A
(3x)^2*x^4
(3x)*(3x)*x^4 .... expand out (3x)^2
(3*3)*(x*x*x^4)
9x^6
Answer: 9x^6
============================================
Part B
It appears that Tonya forgot to square the 3 term and had this as her steps
(3x)^2*x^4
3x^2*x^4
3x^(2*4)
3x^8
Which is incorrect as the answer in part A indicates.
Not only is the '3' part wrong, but also the exponent of 8. Instead of multiplying the exponents, she should have added them.
The rule is a^b*a^c = a^(b+c). In this case, a = x, b = 2 and c = 4.
So x^2*x^4 = x^(2+4) = x^6
Answer: 169.7 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
You did not include your graph, therefore I will explain in the step-by-step everything you should need to know.
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard slope formula is y=mx + b, where m = slope (rise/run) and b = the y intercept.
Using this knowledge, we know that this line has a slope of 5, or 5/1, which means that you will go up 5 and 1 to the right. Since there is no + b part, that means b = 0, so the line begins at 0,0. So, using this information, possible points include 0,0, 5,1, 10,2, 15,3, etc.
