we have

(5x^{7} y^{2})(-4 x^{4} y^{5})=-20 x^{a} y^{b}

Multiply the terms of the left side of the equation and then compare with the right side to find the values of a and b

(5x^{7} y^{2})(-4 x^{4} y^{5})=-20 x^{(7+4)} y^{(2+5)}

=-20 x^{11} y^{7}

substitute

-20 x^{11} y^{7}=-20 x^{a} y^{b}

Solve for a

x^{11} =x^{a}

a=11

Solve for b

y^{7} =y^{b}

b=7

therefore

the answer is

a=11

b=7

The area of a rectangle is 216 square inches. If the perimeter is 60 inches, find the length and width of the rectangle
mojhsa [17]

A=Lw

P=2L+2w

216=Lw

W=216/L...substitute to Perimeter equation

60=2L+2(216/L)

60L=2L^2 + 432

2L^2-60L+432=0

2(L^2 - 30L + 216)=0

2(L-18)(L-12)=0

L=12, W=18 or L=18, W=12

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 10cm long. The longer leg is 2cm longer than the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the
Crazy boy [7]
We need Pythagoras theorem here
a^2+b^2 = c^2
a, b =  legs of a right-triangle
c = length of hypotenuse

Let S=shorter leg, in cm, then longer leg=S+2 cm
use Pythagoras theorem
S^2+(S+2)^2 = (10 cm)^2
expand (S+2)^2
S^2 +   S^2+4S+4  = 100 cm^2   [collect terms and isolate]
2S^2+4S =  100-4 = 96 cm^2
simplify and form standard form of quadratic
S^2+2S-48=0
Solve by factoring
(S+8)(S-6) = 0   means (S+8)=0, S=-8
or                                   (S-6)=0, S=6
Reject nengative root, so
Shorter leg = 6 cm
Longer leg = 6+2 cm = 8 cm
Hypotenuse (given) = 10 cm
