5^4/5
Multiply the number by it's exponent
625/5
Divide
Final Answer: 125
Well right off the bat, I can see a good reason why it should boggle.
If (x+y)=6 and (x-y)=2, then (x+y)(x-y) would be 12. It can't be 20.
The first 4 lines on the paper are inconsistent, so the question in the 5th line can't be calculated.
Another possible source of uncertainty (for us, anyway) is the remarkable similarity between the way you write ' Y ' and the way you write ' 4 ' . For example, look at the ' Y⁴ ' (I think ...) in the last line.
Remark
I think you want us to do both 3 and 4
Three
QR is 4 points going left from the y axis + 2 points going right from the y axis.
QR = 6 units long.
RT is 4 units above the x axis and 3 units below the x axis
RT = 7 units long
TS = 3 units. For this one you just go from T to S. The graph really helps you. You just need to count.
Problem 4
You need to find the area of the combined figure. You could do it as a trapezoid, which might be the easiest way. I'll do that first.
Area = (b1 + b2)*h/2
Givens
B1 = QR = 6
B2 = UT + TS = 6 + 3 = 9
h = RT = 7
Area
Area = (6 + 9)*7/2
Area = 15 * 7 / 2
Area = 52.5
Comment
You could break this up into a rectangle + a triangle
Find the area of QRTU and add the Area of triangle RTS
<em>Area of the rectangle </em>= L * W
L = RT = 7
W = QR = 6
Area = 7 *6 = 42
<em>Area of the triangle</em> = 1/2 * B * H
B = TS = 3
H = RT =7
Area = 1/2 * 3 * 7
Area = 1/2 * 21
Area = 10.5
Total Area = 42 + 10.5 = 52.5 Both answers agree.
