Note: a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ

m⁻⁵ = 1/32. 32 = 2⁵

1/m⁵ = 1/2⁵ Comparing numerator and denominator

m⁵ = 2⁵

Since the powers are the same, therefore the base must also be same.

m = 2

M = -6.5, because -6.5 times itself -5 times, it will be equivalent to 1/32.
I hope I helped! :-)

Which value of y mAkes the equation below true. 3y+8-7y=11

victus00 [196]

We have
$3y+8-7y=11$
First, we can combine like terms 3y and -7y to get -4y.
Then, we have $-4y+8=11$ We could then subtract 8 on both sides to get $-4y=3$
Finally, we isolate y completely by dividing both sides by -4, to get
$y=- \frac{3}{4}$

Given points A(-1, -2) and B(2, 4) where AP: BP=1:2, find the locus of point P.

koban [17]

Answer:

$x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y = 0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = (-1,-2)$

$B = (2,4)$

$AP:BP = 1 : 2$

Required

The locus of P

$AP:BP = 1 : 2$

Express as fraction

$\frac{AP}{BP} = \frac{1}{2}$

Cross multiply

$2AP = BP$

Calculate AP and BP using the following distance formula:

$d = \sqrt{(x - x_1)^2 + (y - y_1)^2}$

So, we have:

$2 * \sqrt{(x - -1)^2 + (y - -2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}$

$2 * \sqrt{(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}$

Take square of both sides

$4 * [(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2] = (x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2$

Evaluate all squares

$4 * [x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2 +4y + 4] = x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 - 8y + 16$

Collect and evaluate like terms

$4 * [x^2 + 2x + y^2 +4y + 5] = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20$

Open brackets

$4x^2 + 8x + 4y^2 +16y + 20 = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20$

Collect like terms

$4x^2 - x^2 + 8x + 4x + 4y^2 -y^2 +16y + 8y + 20 - 20 = 0$

$3x^2 + 12x + 3y^2 +24y = 0$

Divide through by 3

$x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y = 0$
