Step-by-step explanation:
Applying rules of exponents to solve the given problems;
4^3 x 4^5 =
5^8 ÷ 5^-2 =
(6^3 ) ^ 4 =
For these problems, the applicable rules of exponents are;
aᵇ x aⁿ = aᵇ⁺ⁿ
aᵇ ÷ aⁿ = aᵇ⁻ⁿ
(aᵇ)ˣ = aᵇˣ
For the first problem; 4³ x 4⁵
aᵇ x aⁿ = aᵇ⁺ⁿ
4³ x 4⁵ = 4³⁺⁵ = 4⁸
Second problem: aᵇ ÷ aⁿ = aᵇ⁻ⁿ
5⁸ ÷ 5⁻² = 5⁸⁻⁽⁻²⁾ = 5⁸⁺² = 5¹⁰
Third problem; (aᵇ)ˣ = aᵇˣ
(6³)⁴ = 6³ˣ⁴ = 6¹²
-16 because you need to subtract -4 from -12
Answer:
2x(x2-2x-15)
2x(x-5).(x+3)=0
x=0
x=5
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Discriminant of a Quadratic
The number D = b2 – 4ac determined from the coefficients of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. The discriminant reveals what type of roots the equation has.
Note: b2 – 4ac comes from the quadratic formula.
