Answer:

(x^{-3} )^{2}

x^6 x^{-12}

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^{3} x^{-6} )^{2} is the expression given to be solved.

First of all let us have a look at <u>3 formulas</u>:

1.\ p^a \times p^b = p^{(a+b)}\\2.\ (p^a \times q^b)^c = (p^{a})^c \times (q^{b})^c\\3.\ (p^a)^b = p^{a\times b}

Both the formula can be applied to the expression((x^{3} x^{-6} )^{2}) during the first step while solving it.

<u>Applying formula (1):</u>

(x^{3} x^{-6} )^{2}

Comparing the terms of (x^{3} x^{-6} ) with p^a \times p^b

p=x, a =3, b=-6

\Rightarrow x^{3+(-6)}\\\Rightarrow x^{3-6}\\\Rightarrow x^{-3}

So, (x^{3} x^{-6} )^{2} is reduced to (x^{-3} )^{2}

<u>Applying formula (2):</u>

Comparing the terms of (x^{3} x^{-6} )^{2} with (p^a \times q^b)^c

p=q=x, a =3, b=-6, c=2

\Rightarrow (x^{3})^2\times (x^{-6})^2\\\text{Applying Formula (3)}\\x^6 x^{-12}

So, (x^{3} x^{-6} )^{2} is reduced to x^6 x^{-12}.

So, the answers can be:

(x^{-3} )^{2}

x^6 x^{-12}

Find the value of x if ∡A and ∡B are supplementary angles.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

x = 30.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Two angles are supplementary when they add up to 180°.

So we know that:

C + D = 180

Supplanting we get:

(3x-44) + (5x-20) = 180

We add up the X's.

8x-44-20 = 180

8x-64 = 180

Then we send 64 to the other side adding:

8x = 180+64

8x = 180+64

8x = 244

And then the 8 goes dividing:

x = 244 : 8

x = 30.5

Two students, Ann and Max, factored the trinomial 4x2-6x -4. Ann factored it as 2(k 2xx+ 1) and Max factored it as (-2)4x+2), In
marishachu [46]

Given trinomial 4x^2-6x-4.

In order to factor a trinomial, we need to factor out greatest common factor (GCF).

In the given trinomial, we have terms 4x^2, -6x, -4.

We can see that all terms can be divided by a greatest number 2.

Therefore, greatest common factor would be 2 there.

We need to factor out 2 first.

On factoring out 2, we get

2(2x^2 -3x -2).

Now, we need to factor out trinomial 2x^2 -3x -2 now.

We can factor a trinomial by applying product sum rule.

We have a=2,b=-3,c=-2.

ac= 2*-2 = -4 and b=-3.

So, we need to find the factors of -4 that add upto -3.

Factors of -4 would be -4 and 1.

Let us replace -3x by -4x +1x in 2x^2 -3x -2 trinomial

2x^2 -3x -2 could be rewrite as 2x^2 -4x +1x -2.

Making it into two groups and factoring out GCF of each group.

We get

(2x^2 -4x) +(1x - 2)

2x(x-2) +1(x-2)

=(x-2)(2x+1)

Therefore, final factors of the trinomial is 2(x-2)(2x+1).

So, Ann factored form 2(x-2)(2x+1) is correct.

Use the chart to estimate the population density of Romania in 1997. Round to the nearest person.
STALIN [3.7K]

The population density of Romania in 1997 given its area and the population is 95 people per square km.

<h3>What is the population density?</h3>

Population density is the number of people that live in a square kilometer of an area. It is determined by dividing total population by total area.

Population density = population / area

22.600,000 / 237301 = 95 people per square km

Miriam is setting up a fishing game in a kiddie pool for her niece's birthday party. The pool has a circular base with a diamete
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

4.7 feet³ of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of 4 feet

Radius = 2 feet

Height = 0.75 feet

Formula for Volume = 2·\pi·radius·height

But she only wants to fill half, so divide by 2, cancels the 2 in the formula for volume, giving us: \pi·radius·height

\pi·2·0.75 = 4.71 feet³
