If $9x^2 - 16x + k$ is a perfect square trinomial, find $k$.

Match the expression on the left with the correct simplified expression on the right.

andriy [413]

Given: The expression below

$\begin{gathered} (\frac{(3x^3y^4)^3}{(3x^2y^2)^2})^2 \\ (\frac{(3x^4y^2)^4}{(3x^5y^2)^3})^2 \end{gathered}$

To Determine: The matching expression to the given expressions

Solution

Let us simplify each of the expressions using exponents rule

$\begin{gathered} Exponent-Rule1=(a^m)^n=a^{m\times n} \\ Exponent-Rule2=(\frac{a^m}{a^n})=a^{m-n} \end{gathered}$

Applying the exponent rule 1 above to the given expressions

$\begin{gathered} (3x^3y^4)^3=3^3x^{3\times3}y^{4\times3}=27x^9y^{12} \\ (3x^2y^2)^2=3^2x^{2\times2}y^{2\times2}=9x^4y^4 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} (3x^4y^2)^4=3^4x^{4\times4}y^{2\times4}=81x^{16}y^8 \\ (3x^5y^2)^3=3^3x^{5\times3}y^{2\times3}=27x^{15}y^6 \end{gathered}$

Applying the exponent rule 2

$\frac{(3x^{3}y^{4})^{3}}{(3x^{2}y^{2})^{2}}=\frac{27x^9y^{12}}{9x^4y^4}=\frac{27}{9}x^{9-4}y^{12-4}=3x^5y^8$ $\frac{(3x^{4}y^{2})^{4}}{(3x^{5}y^{2})^{3}}=\frac{81x^{16}y^8}{27x^{15}y^6}=\frac{81}{27}x^{16-15}y^{8-6}=3xy^2$

Let us not apply exponent rule 1 above

$(\frac{(3x^{3}y^{4})^{3}}{(3x^{2}y^{2})^{2}})^2=(3x^5y^8)^2=3^2x^{5\times2}y^{8\times2}=9x^{10}y^{16}$ $(\frac{(3x^{4}y^{2})^{4}}{(3x^{5}y^{2})^{3}})^2=(3xy^2)^2=3^2x^2y^{2\times2}=9x^2y^4$

Hence, the matching is as shown below

Simplify the expression. Write your answer as a power.

sveta [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\twoheadrightarrow \: \: \sf{ {( - 4)}^{3} \cdot{( - 4)}^{7}}$

As we know that,

$\odot \: \sf{ {a}^{n} \cdot{a}^{m} = {a}^{n + m} }$

So,

$\twoheadrightarrow \: \: \sf{ {( - 4)}^{3 + 7} }$

$\twoheadrightarrow \: \: \sf{ {( - 4)}^{10} }$

There are approximately 2.4 million births in a country each year. Find the birth rate in units of births per minute.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

4.57 births per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

2.4 million/year * 1year/365days* 1day/24hours * 1hour/60minutes =

2400000/(365*24*60) = 2400000/525600= 4.566births/minute

A kite flier wondered how high her kite was flying. She used a protractor to measure an angle of 15∘ from level ground to the ki

Nataly [62]

Answer:

12.9 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

It helps if you draw a triangle. Draw a horizontal segment. That is the ground. Now at the left end start a new segment that goes up to the right at approximately 15 degrees until it its other endpoint directly above the right endpoint of the horizontal segment. Connect these two endpoints. The vertical side on the right shows the height of the kite. The hypotenuse is the string.

For the 15-deg angle, the height of the triangle is the opposite leg, and the string is the hypotenuse. The trig ratio that relates the opposite leg tot he hypotenuse is the sine.

$\sin A = \dfrac{opp}{hyp}$

$\sin 15^\circ = \dfrac{h}{50~yd}$

$(50~yd)\sin 15^\circ = h$

$h = (50~yd)(0.2588)$

$h = 12.9~yd$

I need help with the table in part B!! - Ted and his friends are playing Doubles, a game with the two spinners shown below. Each

Ira Lisetskai [31]

The sample space for a particular event or number of events is simply anything that illustrates all possible outcomes of those events.
Tables can be used to display the sample space when you have two events happening, in this case, two spinners giving a number.
So, looking at the first white box (top-left corner), the number 1 that is written above it represents getting a number 1 on the spinner numbered 1 to 6 and the number of 1 written to the left of the white box represents getting a number 1 on the spinner numbered 1 to 3.
In the box, you would put 2 plus the extra points since you add the numbers on both spinners, and then add extra points because you got a double.
The numbers in each box, going along the rows (starting from top-left) are:
2 plus extra points;
3;
4;
5;
6;
7;
3;
4 plus extra points;
5;
6;
7;
8;
4;
5;
6 plus extra points;
7;
8;
9.
Notice, all possibilities of what the each of the spinners could land on and in what order are given, this is a sample space.
