Delaware was the first state to enter the Union and Hawaii was the 50th. If we order the positions of entry for the rest of the

states, we find that State A entered the Union right after State B, and the product of their order-of-entry numbers is 132. Use the given information to complete each statement. State A was the th state to enter the Union. State B was the th state to enter the Union.

Answer:

State A was the <u>12th</u> state to enter the Union. State B was the <u>11th</u> state to enter the Union.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x to the order-of-entry of State B, therefore the order-of-entry of State A is x+1. Given that he product of their order-of-entry numbers is 132:

x*(x+1) = 132

x² + x - 132 = 0

Using quadratic formula:

x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2 -4(1)(-132)}}{2(1)}

x = \frac{-1 \pm 23}{2}

x_1 = \frac{-1 + 23}{2}

x_1 = 11

x_2 = \frac{-1 - 23}{2}

x_2 = -12

The negative solution has no sense in the context of our problem, then the solution is x = 11.

I dont understand this at all. I really need help! ​

Hello!

\large\boxed{x^{4}}

Recall that:

\sqrt[z]{x^{y} } is equal to x^{\frac{y}{z} }.  Therefore:

\sqrt[3]{x^{2} } = x^{\frac{2}{3} }

There is also an exponent of '6' outside. According to exponential properties, when an exponent is within an exponent, you multiply them together. Therefore:

(x^{\frac{2}{3} })^{6}  = x^{\frac{2}{3}* 6 }  = x^{\frac{12}{3} } = x^{4}
