Answer:
Assuming the given expression:m^2n^-3/m^6n^-1
then, both are correct. Whatever from both rule applies, it will yeild the same result. Both rules will be used either way, and the order in which they are applied does not matter as long as they are applied correctly at each step.
Part
A:
<span>In
the expression given, 65 + 15w + 25m: 65 =
constant; 15 and 25 = coefficients; w and m = variables.</span>
Thus,
to define:
Constant
is a number which the value is already fixed.
Variable
is the unknown value in the algebraic expression.
Coefficient
is a number which is placed before a variable that indicates how many times the
variable is to be multiplied.
65 + 15w + 25m
65 = 15 (1) + 25 (2)
Part
B:
Let
x be the savings account balance
W
= # of weeks
M
= frequency of mowing the lawn
First,
let’s use the expression given above: 15w + 25m.
Since we are solving for a
constant, only the variables and coefficient of the expression given are to be
used.
Then,
we substitute the variables’ corresponding values.
X
= 15 (20) + 25 (3)
Therefore,
the savings deposits will amount to:
X
= 300 + 75
X
= $375
Part
C:
$75
+ w + 3m
Constant
will be $75.
Variables:
w = no weekly deposit, m = 3
Coefficients:
w = 1, m = remains at 25
This is because we need to adjust the variables and coefficients to solve for the constant.
The answer is 492.307
The number after the thousandths is 9 - greater than 5 - so we round 6 up to 7.
