For this case we must solve the following questions:
Question 1:
We should simplify the following expression:

Applying double C we have:

By definition of multiplication of powers of the same base we have to place the same base and add the exponents:
Canceling common terms:

Answer:
Option A
Question 2:
We should simplify the following expression:

So, we have:

Simplifying common terms:

Answer:
Option D
Question 3:
We factor the following expressions to rewrite the experience:
<em>
: </em>We look for two numbers that multiplied give 10 and added 7:

<em>
</em> We look for two numbers that multiplied give -50 and added -5:

<em>
</em>
Rewriting the given expression we have:

We simplify common terms in the numerator and denominator we have:

Answer:
Option D
I think it’s B I’m not sure
Answer:
let the numbers be, x and x+1 ( as it is consecutive number the next number will have 1 more than the number )
sum = 41
so, x + ( x + 1 ) = 41
x + x + 1 = 41
2x + 1 = 41
2x = 41 -1 = 40
2x = 40
x = 40/2 = 20
x = 20
x + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21
so the consecutive numbers whose sum is 40 are, 20 and 21
