X^3/x^1/6=x^a value of a in simplest form?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: a = 17/6

Step-by-step explanation:

I will use two laws of indices to solve this question

1. x^a / x^b = x^(a-b)

2. x^a = x^b, => a = b

Using both laws

x³/x^1/6 = x^a

x^(3-1/6) = x^a

3 - 1/6 = a

a = 3 - 1/6

a = (18 - 1)/6 using LCM

a = 17/6

lakkis [162]

Answer:

It takes 147 hours for the snow to reach 62 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of the snow at the beginning  = 84 inches

Rate at which the snow melts = f 0.15 inches per hour

To Find:

The time taken for the  snow to reach 62 inches = ?

Solution:

Let the time taken to reach 62 inches be x

Then according to the question,

Total height of the snow - (rate of melting)(x) = 62 inches

On substituting the values,

84 - (0.15)(x) = 62

84 - 0.15x = 62

- 0.15x = 62 - 84

- 0.15x = -22

0.15x = 22

x = \frac{22}{0.15}

x= 146.6

x = 147

Cerrena [4.2K]

Slope-intercept form is as shown here: y = mx + b

(-8, 1) and (0, -5) in slope-intercept form will be y = -3/4x - 5

(-3, -8) and (2, 7) in slope-intercept form will be y = 3x + 1
