I suppose you just have to simplify this expression.

(2ˣ⁺² - 2ˣ⁺³) / (2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺²)

Divide through every term by the lowest power of 2, which would be <em>x</em> + 1 :

… = (2ˣ⁺²/2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺³/2ˣ⁺¹) / (2ˣ⁺¹/2ˣ⁺¹ - 2ˣ⁺²/2ˣ⁺¹)

Recall that <em>n</em>ª / <em>n</em>ᵇ = <em>n</em>ª⁻ᵇ, so that we have

… = (2⁽ˣ⁺²⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ - 2⁽ˣ⁺³⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾) / (2⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾ - 2⁽ˣ⁺²⁾ ⁻ ⁽ˣ⁺¹⁾)

… = (2¹ - 2²) / (2⁰ - 2¹)

… = (2 - 4) / (1 - 2)

… = (-2) / (-1)

… = 2

Another way to get the same result: rewrite every term as a multiple of <em>y</em> = 2ˣ :

… = (2²×2ˣ - 2³×2ˣ) / (2×2ˣ - 2²×2ˣ)

… = (4×2ˣ - 8×2ˣ) / (2×2ˣ - 4×2ˣ)

… = (4<em>y</em> - 8<em>y</em>) / (2<em>y</em> - 4<em>y</em>)

… = (-4<em>y</em>) / (-2<em>y</em>)

… = 2

Write (-2 − 2i) + (10 − 4i) as a complex number in standard form.
romanna [79]

Answer:

8-6i

Step-by-step explanation:

complex number in standard form will be in the form of a+bi

(-2 − 2i) + (10 − 4i) , open parenthesis

-2- 2i +10 -4i, group like terms

-2+10 -2i -4i, combine like terms

At the beach, Pancho and his sister both built sandcastles and then measured their heights. Pancho's sandcastle was 3/5 of a foo
lord [1]

1/5 of a foot

Simply subtract the height of Pancho’s sandcastle (3/5 of a foot) minus the height of his sister’s sandcastle (2/5 of a foot) to find a difference of 1/5 of a foot, meaning Pancho’s sandcastle was 1/5 of a foot taller than his sister’s sandcastle.

what is a number of 3 digits and multiple of 5 but less than 600 and can be formed from 1,3,5,7 and 9?
Murljashka [212]
Any multipule of 5 ends with either a 0 or a 5

so we see that ther are no 0's in the list so it must end with 5

so the other 2 digits can be any number
wait, less than 600
so the first digit can be 1 or 3


some possible numbers are

135
175
195
315
375
395

those are the possible numbers
