Step-by-step explanation:
You need to remember the properties of exponents: multiplication adds the exponents, division subtracts the exponents.
If you multiply two powers with the same base, the result will be the base to the sum of the powers.
If you divide two powers with the same base, the result will be the base to the difference of the powers.
In your case you will this:
That is:
Or:
keep in mind that, a negative coefficient to "x", will make the graph reflect over the y-axis.
Answer:
x = 10 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
x^2 - 12 x + 20 = 0
Hint: | Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.
Subtract 20 from both sides:
x^2 - 12 x = -20
Hint: | Take one half of the coefficient of x and square it, then add it to both sides.
Add 36 to both sides:
x^2 - 12 x + 36 = 16
Hint: | Factor the left hand side.
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 6)^2 = 16
Hint: | Eliminate the exponent on the left hand side.
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 6 = 4 or x - 6 = -4
Hint: | Look at the first equation: Solve for x.
Add 6 to both sides:
x = 10 or x - 6 = -4
Hint: | Look at the second equation: Solve for x.
Add 6 to both sides:
Answer: x = 10 or x = 2
I'll use 44.
This number broken down means 4 in the 10's place and 4 in the ones place
4(10)+4(1)= 40+4=44
