Which expression is equivalent to (16 x Superscript 8 Baseline y Superscript negative 12 Baseline) Superscript one-half?.

loris [4]

To solve the problem we must know the Basic Rules of Exponentiation.

<h2>Basic Rules of Exponentiation</h2>

$x^ax^b = x^{(a+b)}$
$\dfrac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{(a-b)}$
$(a^a)^b =x^{(a\times b)}$
$(xy)^a = x^ay^a$

$x^{\frac{3}{4}} = \sqrt[4]{x^3}= (\sqrt[3]{x})^4$

The solution of the expression is $\dfrac{4x^4}{y^6}$ .

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given to us

$(16x^8y^{12})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Solution

We know that 16 can be reduced to $2^4$ ,

$=(2^4x^8y^{12})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Using identity $(xy)^a = x^ay^a$ ,

$=(2^4)^{\frac{1}{2}}(x^8)^{\frac{1}{2}}(y^{12})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Using identity $(a^a)^b =x^{(a\times b)}$ ,

$=(2^{4\times \frac{1}{2}})\ (x^{8\times\frac{1}{2}})\ (y^{12\times{\frac{1}{2}}})$

Solving further

$=2^2x^4y^{-6}$

Using identity $\dfrac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{(a-b)}$ ,

$=\dfrac{2^2x^4}{y^6}$

$=\dfrac{4x^4}{y^6}$

Hence, the solution of the expression is $\dfrac{4x^4}{y^6}$ .

5tanx-2cotx+1=0...... .

Verdich [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

5(tanx)^2 -2 +tanx=0

let tanx=y

5y^2 + y-2=0

y=0.5403 or y= -0.7403

tanx=0.5403

x=arctan(0.5403)

x=28.38°

tanx=-0.7403

x=arctan(-0.7403)

x=143.49°

Rearrange the equation 5x-3y+9=0 from standard form to slope/y-intercept form.

lions [1.4K]

Y=Mx+B -> slope intercept form

The answer would be -3y=-5x-9
Divide the -3 on both sides and you get
y=5/3x+3
