Answer: When you combine like terms in a algebraic expression, you do not add the exponents! When you combine like terms in an equation, such as a^2 and 4a^2, you only combine the numbers, not the exponents. The exponent attached to the number stays the same. a^2 and 4a^2 would be 5a^2.

Answer: When combining like terms, add or subtract the coefficients. Keep the exponents as they are.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can combine 2x^2 + 3x^2 to get 5x^2. If x =3, 3^2=9 So 2(3)^2 is 18 and 3(3)^2 is 27. 18+27=45 And 5(3)^2= 45. Same result!

You can not combine 2x^2 and 2x^3. If the value of x is 3, 2(3)^2 this term works out to =18 and 2(3)^3 =54

If you add the exponents x^5 becomes 2(3)^5 or 2×243=486. Vastly different values! Don't add exponents unless you are multiplying terms.

Suppose someone tells you that she has a triangle with sides having lengths 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 yards. Is this a right triangle?
Katarina [22]
You can solve by using Pythagoras theorem.
Let the longest side be c.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
If this holds, it is a right angle.

But, 3.5^2 + 4.5^2 is not equal to 5.5^2.

3. A savings account has a 3% interest rate. (a) Complete the ratio table shown. Show your work. Deposit ($) 100 50 300 Interest
blsea [12.9K]
We all know, savings account have "Compound Interest"

So, Here, On $100 deposit, amount of Interest = $12

So, for $50, it would be: $6

Then, for $300, it is: $36

b) If you deposit $200, then balance after 1 year, 
A = P(1 + r)^t

A = 200(1 + 0.03)^1

A = 200(1.03)
A = $206

Now, Balance with $150
A = 150 (1 + 0.03)^1
A = 150(1.03)
A = 154.5

Difference = 206 - 154.5 = $51.5

In short, Your Answer would be: $51.5

Hope this helps!
