Are these right? How do the parentheses make these two answers different?

yes it is correct

with parentheses you have to bring EVERYTHING INSIDE THE PARENTHESES to the given power but not if there are no parentheses

I know someone already answered this but they would be correct. This is how I think of it... if it does not have parentheses and it is a negative number and it has an exponent well then your answer will be negative but if you do have parentheses and your number is negative and it has an exponent well then your answer will be positive.

A game increased in price by 1/2 . After the increase it was priced at £27. What was the original price of the game? (Hegarty Ma

lukranit [14]

Answer:

£18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = original price of the game

Increase in price = 1/2

New price = £27

x + 1/2x = £27

2x+x/2 = 27

3/2x = 27

x = 27 ÷ 3/2

= 27 × 2/3

= 54 / 3

x = £18

Therefore, the original price of the game is £18

What is the factored form of x^12y^18+1

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: The required factored form of the given expression is

$(x^4y^6+1)(x^8y^{12}-x^4y^6+1).$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the factored form of the following algebraic expression:

$E=x^{12}y^{18}+1.$

We will be using the following formula:

$a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2+ab+b^2).$

Now, we have

$E\\\\=x^{12}y^{18}+1\\\\=(x^4y^6)^3+1^3\\\\=(x^4y^6+1)\{(x^4y^6)^2-x^4y^6\times1+1^2\}\\\\=(x^4y^6+1)(x^8y^{12}-x^4y^6+1).$

Thus, the required factored form of the given expression is

$(x^4y^6+1)(x^8y^{12}-x^4y^6+1).$
