Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Although you have not been provided with direct masses, you can use the percentage composition values in place of masses.

First, calculate the number of moles of each element:

This is the formula for the ionic compound calcium carbonate, confirming that our result is indeed in the magnitude of a plausible answer. In fact, given the fact that calcium carbonate is ionic, it is also true that this empirical formula equates to the unit formula of the compound.

Which expression is equivalent to? Assume x > 0 and y > 0.
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is third option

√5/(x²y)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given an expression,√(55x⁷y⁶/11x¹¹y⁸)

Points to remember

Identities

xᵃ/xᵇ = x⁽ᵃ ⁻ ᵇ)

x⁻ⁿ = x¹/ⁿ

<u>To find the equivalent expression</u>

We have, √(55x⁷y⁶/11x¹¹y⁸)

By using above identity we can write,

√(55x⁷y⁶/11x¹¹y⁸) = √[(55/11) (x⁷/x¹¹) (y⁶/y⁸)]

 = √[5x⁷⁻¹¹ y⁶⁻⁸]

 = √[5x⁻⁴ y⁻²]

 = √[5/x⁴y²]

 = √5/(x²y)

Therefore the correct answer is third option

√5/(x²y)

A realtor earns a 3.25% commission
dlinn [17]

Since the commission is 3.25%, we simply multiply this fraction in decimal form by x, since it will equal 10566.40:

0.0325*x=10566.40

Divide both sides by 0.0325:

x = 10566.40/0.0325

x = 325120

<u>The house sold for $325,120</u>
