Yes they are equivalent. This is because if you simplify each fraction : 288/12 and 240/10 they both equal 24.
Answer:
(c) 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
a^-b = 1/a^b
__
Using these rules, we can simplify the expression as follows:
(5^-3)(2^2)(5^6)/((2^3)(5^2)) = (5^(-3+6-2))(2^(2-3)) = (5^1)(2^-1)
= 5/2
Answer:
∠ WZX = 50°
XW is not an altitude.
Step-by-step explanation:
16. See the attached figure.
XW is the angle bisector of ∠ YXZ, hence, ∠ WXY = ∠ WXZ
Now, given that ∠ YXZ = 8x + 34 and ∠ WXY = 10x - 13
Hence, ∠ YXZ = 2 ∠ WXY
⇒ 8x + 34 = 2(10x - 13)
⇒ 8x + 34 = 20x - 26
⇒ 12x = 60
⇒ x = 5.
Hence, ∠ XZY = ∠ WZX = 10x = 50° (Answer)
Now, ∠ WXZ = ∠ WXY = 10x - 13 = 37°
Hence, from Δ WXZ,
∠ WZX + ∠ WXZ + ∠ XWZ = 180°
⇒ 50° + 37° + ∠ XWZ = 180°
⇒ ∠ XWZ = 93° ≠ 90°
Hence, XW is not an altitude. (Answer)
