Answer:
... you <u>add</u> the exponents
Step-by-step explanation:
An exponent is a way of showing repeated multiplication. For example, ...
x^2 means x·x
and
x^3 means x·x·x
If we multiply these two expressions together, we get ...
(x^2)·(x^3) = (x·x)·(x·x·x) = x·x·x·x·x
This is a product in which x appears as a factor 5 times, so we can write it using an exponent as ...
x·x·x·x·x = x^5
___
That is, when we multiply the expressions, we add the numbers of times the factor appears in the product:
2 + 3 = 5
x^2 · x^3 = x^(2+3) = x^5
Answer:
b 233 7 in
Step-by-step explanation:
4 a⁴ - 2 b² + 40 :
4 * ( 2⁴) - 2 * ( 7²) + 40 =
4 * 16 - 2 * 49 + 40 =
64 - 98 + 40 =
-34 + 40 =
+ 6

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x - 5
y = 1/3x + 3
3x - 5 = 1/3x + 3....multiply everything by 3 to get rid of the fraction
9x - 15 = x + 9
9x - x = 9 + 15
8x = 24
x = 24/8
x = 3
y = 3x - 5
y = 3(3) - 5
y = 9 - 5
y = 4
solution is : x = 3 and y = 4...or (3,4) <==
