Simplify (5n^4)^−3. Assume n ≠ 0.

1 answer:

6 0

Since the exponent (-3) is negative, flip the expression to: 1/(5n^4)^3.

Notice how the negative exponent becomes positive as you flip it.

Now evaluate the powers in the denominator: 1/((5^3)(n^4)^3

I separated the constant (5) from the variable (n) to show you how the powers are evaluated.

1/(5x5x5)(nxnxnxn)(nxnxnxn)(nxnxnxn)
—-> the power four means that there are 4 multiples of n in the parentheses. The power 3 corresponds to how many groups.

1/(125)(n^12)

= 1/125n^12

The inequality that correctly represents this scenario is given as follows:

$2x + 5y \leq 25$

The graph is given at the end of the question.

<h3>What is a system of inequalities?</h3>

A system of inequalities is when two or more variables are related, and inequalities are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are given as follows:

Variable x: number of chocolate chips purchased.

Variable y: number of pecans sold.

Chocolate chips are $2 per pound and pecans are $5 per pound. She wants to spend at most $25, hence:

$2x + 5y \leq 25$

This is a map of three towns. It shows the train line and the highway that connects the towns. The north direction is shown. The

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

about 106 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the two towns can be estimated several ways. In the attachment, we chose to measure the angles on the map. Using the law of sines, we can estimate the unknown distance.

The distance can also be estimated using the Tounouse-Avaria distance as a ruler. For best results, that ruler would need to be subdivided to an appropriate level.

<h3>angle measures</h3>

The angles in the triangle can be measured using a protractor or some other tool. The attachment shows the results from a geometry program:

∠TMA ≈ 107°
∠TAM ≈ 24°

<h3>law of sines</h3>

The law of sines tells us the distances are proportional to the sines of the opposite angles:

TM/sin(TAM) = TA/sin(TMA)

TM = sin(24°)×(250 km)/sin(107°) ≈ 106.3 km

The distance from Tounouse to Mt. Monotti is estimated to be about 106 km.

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Using a compass or dividers to project the TM distance onto TA, we find it is between 0.4 and 0.5 of the TA distance. The difference between 2×TM and TA can be estimated to be about 0.4×TM. That is, ...

TM ≈ TA/2.4 ≈ (250 km)/2.4 ≈ 104.2 km

This estimate is consistent with the one found using angle measures.
