Starting price is 2.65, increased by .56

2.65+.56=3.21

Price is 3.21, decreased by .23

3.21-.23=2.98

Price is 2.98, increased by 1.02

2.98+1.02= 4

Price is 4, decreased by .48

4-.48=3.52

Now find the difference from the starting price (January) from the end price (May)

3.52-2.65=.87

<u>The difference from gas prices is $.87</u>

Evaluate the following
IRINA_888 [86]

(a) [\frac{9}{2.6}  - \frac{2.5^{2} }{2.5} ]^{2}

Answer:

[\frac{9}{2.6}  - \frac{2.5^{2} }{2.5} ]^{2}

= [\frac{9}{2.6}  - \frac{2.5*2.5 }{2.5} ]^{2}

= [\frac{9}{2.6}  - \frac{2.5}{1} ]^{2}

*canceling 2.5 in numerator and denominator*

= [\frac{9-(2.5)(2.6)}{2.6} ]^2\\*Using L.C.M of 2.6 and 1 which comes out to be '2.6'= [\frac{9-(6.5)}{2.6} ]^2\\= [\frac{2.5}{2.6} ]^2\\*multiplying and dividing by '10'= [\frac{2.5*10}{2.6*10} ]^2\\= [\frac{25}{26} ]^2\\= \frac{25^2}{26^2}\\= \frac{625}{676}\\= 0.925

Properties used:

Cancellation property of fractions

Least Common Multiplier(LCM)

The least or smallest common multiple of any two or more given natural numbers are termed as LCM. For example, LCM of 10, 15, and 20 is 60.

(b) [[\frac{3x^{a}y^{b}} {-3x^{a} y^{b} } ]^{3}    ] ^{2}

Answer:

[[\frac{3x^{a}y^{b}} {-3x^{a} y^{b} } ]^{3}] ^{2}\\

*using [x^{a}]^b = x^{ab}*

= [\frac{3x^{3a}y^{3b}} {-3x^{3a} y^{3b} }] ^{2}        

*Again, using [x^{a}]^b = x^{ab}*

= \frac{3x^{2*3a}y^{2*3b}} {-3x^{2*3a} y^{2*3b} }  \\= (-1)\frac{3x^{6a}y^{6b}} {3x^{6a} y^{6b} }\\[\tex]*taking -1 common, denominator and numerator are equal*[tex]= -(1)\frac{1}{1}\\= -1

Property used: 'Power of a power'

We can raise a power to a power

(x^2)4=(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)=x^8

This is called the power of a power property and says that to find a power of a power you just have to multiply the exponents.
