Blake simplified the expression ((x^12)/(x^-3))^5 to 1/x^20. What was his mistake?

Mathematics

Answer:

d) He divided the exponents in the parentheses instead of subtracting

Step-by-step explanation:

First you should know that the power of a power based

"a" is the power based on "a" and whose exponent is the product of the exponents:

(a^{n})^{m}=a^{n*m}

By simplifying the expression you get,

\frac{(x^{12})^{5}}{(x^{-3})^{5}}=(x^{12-(-3)})^{5}=(x^{12+3})^{5}=(x^{15})^{5}=x^{15*5}=x^{75}

What Blake did wrong is what says option d) He divided the exponents in the parentheses instead of subtracting.

This is what he did wrong:

\frac{(x^{12})^{5}}{(x^{-3})^{5}}=(x^{12/(-3)})^{5}=(x^{-4})^{5}=x^{-4*5}=x^{-20}=\frac{1}{x^{20}}

Hope this helps!

Imagine that you need to compute e^0.4 but you have no calculator or other aid to enable you to compute it exactly, only paper a
labwork [276]

Answer:

0.0032

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to compute e^{0.4} by the help of third-degree Taylor polynomial that is expanded around at x = 0.

Given :

e^{0.4} < e < 3

Therefore, the Taylor's Error Bound formula is given by :

$|\text{Error}| \leq \frac{M}{(N+1)!} |x-a|^{N+1}$   , where $M=|F^{N+1}(x)|$

         $\leq \frac{3}{(3+1)!} |-0.4|^4$

         $\leq \frac{3}{24} \times (0.4)^4$

         $\leq 0.0032$

Therefore, |Error| ≤ 0.0032

This is the homework question (Please see picture). If my X and Y's are correct how do I graph it?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

to graph it. make a horizontal line for the x axis and a vertical line for the y axis and place your coordinate points were the are supposed to be and label them.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Make the y and x axis.
  • label the coordinate points.
  • Example:

The coordinate points(3,7) means that 3 would be on the horizontal line and 7 would be on the vertical line meaning the coordinate point(3,7) would be located were the two numbers meet.
