For the equations given below, which statement is true? -2x=14. 6x=-42

Burka [1]

One nice thing about this situation is that you’ve been given everything in the same base. To review a little on the laws of exponents, when you have two exponents with the same base being:

– Multiplied: Add their exponents
– Divided: Subtract their exponents

We can see that in both the numerator and denominator we have exponents *multiplied* together, and the product in the numerator is being *divided* by the product in the detonator, so that translates to *summing the exponents on the top and bottom and then finding their difference*. Let’s throw away the twos for a moment and just focus on the exponents. We have

[11/2 + (-7) + (-5)] - [3 + 1/2 + (-10)]

For convenience’s sake, I’m going to turn 11/2 into the mixed number 5 1/2. Summing the terms in the first brackets gives us

5 1/2 + (-7) + (-5) = - 1 1/2 + (-5) = -6 1/2

And summing the terms in the second:

3 + 1/2 + (-10) = 3 1/2 + (-10) = -6 1/2

Putting those both into our first question gives us -6 1/2 - (-6 1/2), which is 0, since any number minus itself gives us 0.

Now we can bring the 2 back into the mix. The 0 we found is the exponent the 2 is being raised to, so our answer is

2^0, which is just 1.

jenna's rectangular garden borders a wall. she buys 80 ft of fencing. what are the dimensions of the garden that will maximize i

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The dimensions are x =20 and y=20 of the garden that will maximize its area is 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

let 'x' be the length and the 'y' be the width of the rectangle

given Jenna's buys 80ft of fencing of rectangle so the perimeter of the rectangle is 2(x +y) = 80

x + y =40

y = 40 -x

now the area of the rectangle A = length X width

A = x y

substitute 'y' value in above A = x (40 - x)

A = 40 x - x^2 .....(1)

Step :2

now differentiating equation (1) with respective to 'x'

$\frac{dA}{dx} = 40 -2x$ ........(2)

Find the dimensions

$\frac{dA}{dx} = 0$

40 - 2x =0

40 = 2x

x = 20

and y = 40 - x = 40 -20 =20

The dimensions are x =20 and y=20

length = 20 and breadth = 20

Step 3:-

we have to find maximum area

Again differentiating equation (2) with respective to 'x' we get

$\frac{d^2A}{dx^2} = -2$

Now the maximum area A = x y at x =20 and y=20

A = 20 X 20 = 400

Conclusion:-

The dimensions are x =20 and y=20 of the garden that will maximize its area is 400

verification:-

The perimeter = 2(x +y) =80

2(20 +20) =80

2(40) =80

80 =80
