Let

x---------> discount on a baseball

y---------> discount on a set of tennis balls

z--------> discount on the total purchase

Option A

Applying the coupons x and y

the total purchase is equal to

$(1-x)20+(1-y)12+15$ --------> expression A

we know that

In the expression A

$(1-x)20$ -------> represents the price on a baseball after a coupon was applied

$(1-y)12$ -------> represents the price of the set of tennis balls after a coupon was applied

$15$ -------> represents the price of a soccer ball after a coupon was applied

therefore

the answer Part a) is

$(1-y)12$

Option B

Applying the coupon z

the total purchase is equal to

$(1-z)(20+12+15)$ --------> expression B

we know that

In the expression B

$(1-z)20$ -------> represents the price on a baseball after a coupon was applied

$(1-z)12$ -------> represents the price of the set of tennis balls after a coupon was applied

$(1-z)15$ -------> represents the price of a soccer ball after a coupon was applied

therefore

the answer Part b) is

$(1-z)12$

consider the point (x,y) lying on the graph of y=(x+3)^1/2. let L be the distance between the points (x,y) and (4,0). write l as

olga_2 [115]

$L=\sqrt{ (x-4)^2 + y^2 }$
and
$y=\sqrt{x+3} \Rightarrow x = y^2-3$

$L=\sqrt{ (x-4)^2 + y^2 }=\sqrt{ (y^2 - 3-4)^2 + y^2 }=\sqrt{ (y^2-7)^2 + y^2 }$

A bus on a regular schedule takes 3 1/4 hours to reach its destination. The express bus takes 2 1/2 hours to make the same trip.

alisha [4.7K]

To find this answer, we should subtract 2 1/2 from 3 1/4. The simplest way to do this is to turn them into improper fractions, found the least common denominator, and subtract the numerators.

3 1/4=13/4
2 1/2=5/2

The least common multiple is 4, so we should multiply the numerator and denominator of 5/2 by 2.

5/2=10/4

Now we can just subtract the numerators.

13/4-10/4=3/4

Using the math above, we can see that it saves D. 3/4 hours.

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction b Superscript negative 2 Baseline Over a b Superscript negative 3 Baseline EndFr

nignag [31]

Answer:

$\frac{b^{-2}}{ab^{-3}}=\frac{b}{a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Writing the description in algebraic translation

$\frac{b^{-2}}{ab^{-3}}$

so we have to find the expression which will be equal to $\frac{b^{-2}}{ab^{-3}}$ .

Considering the expression

$\frac{b^{-2}}{ab^{-3}}$

$\mathrm{Apply\:exponent\:rule}:\quad \frac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$

$\frac{b^{-2}}{b^{-3}}=b^{-2-\left(-3\right)}$

so the expression becomes

$=\frac{b^{-2-\left(-3\right)}}{a}$ ∵ $\frac{b^{-2}}{b^{-3}}=b^{-2-\left(-3\right)}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-2-\left(-3\right)=1$

$=\frac{b}{a}$

Therefore,

$\frac{b^{-2}}{ab^{-3}}=\frac{b}{a}$
