Answer:
(a^8)/(b^9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Two rules of exponents come into play.
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
a^-b = 1/a^b
__
Applying the first rule, we have ...
(a^3)/(a^-5) × (b^-2)/(b^7) = a^(3 -(-5)) × b^(-2 -7) = a^8 × b^-9
Applying the second rule gives the simplified form ...
= (a^8)/(b^9)
Answer:
The amount Trevor's family pay per minute on shower water is $0.005.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of water is,
Cost = $0.20/liter
Amount of water used over the entire month:
Amount of water used = 72 liters
Compute the total water cost as follows:
Total water cost = Amount of water used × Cost
= 72 × 0.20
= $14.4/liter
The average number of minutes each person showered is:
Average number of minutes = 480 minutes.
The number of people in Trevor's house:
N = 6
Compute the total amount of time the 6 person showered as follows:
Total amount of time = Average number of minutes × N
= 480 × 6
= 2880 minutes
Compute the pay per minute on shower water as follows:
Pay per minute on water = Total water cost ÷ Total amount of time
= $14.4 ÷ 2880
= $0.005
Thus, the amount Trevor's family pay per minute on shower water is $0.005.
RS is perpendicular to MN and PQ.
We can use the slopes of these lines to determine the answer.
Slope is given by the formula
m=.
Using the coordinates for M and N, we have:
m=.
Since PQ is parallel to MN, its slope will be as well, since parallel lines have the same slope.
Using the coordinates for points T and V in the slope formula, we have
m=.
This is not parallel to MN or PQ, since the slopes are not the same.
We can also say that it is not perpendicular to these lines; perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals (they are opposite signs and are flipped). This is not true of TV either.
Using the coordinates for R and S in the slope formula, we have
m=. Comparing this to the slope of RS, it is flipped and the sign is opposite; they are negative reciprocals, so they are perpendicular.
