Hello I’m new here ! But I’m having trouble understanding how my teacher factored out the A from a-a(1.2^4)? And made it to A(1-

1.2^4)?
I attached a picture !

Thank you everyone :)

This is the distributive property:

<em>ab</em> + <em>ac</em> = <em>a</em> (<em>b</em> + <em>c</em>)

In this case, you have

<em>a</em> - <em>a</em> (1.2⁴)

and <em>a</em> is a common factor to both <em>a</em> and <em>a</em> (1.2)⁴, so you can pull it out as

<em>a</em> (1 - 1.2⁴)

Solve the following multiplication and division problems.

Answer:

a. 22.5 km

b. 267.52 m

c. 95 m

d. $(4.2)(10^{-5})$ km

Step-by-step explanation:

a. You can convert from hectometers to kilometers, and then you can make the multiplication:

$\frac{5hm}{10}=0.5km$

$(3km)(0.5km)(15)=22.5km$

b. You can convert from centimeters to meters, and then you can make the multiplication:

$\frac{44cm}{100}=0.44m\\(19m)(0.44m)(32)=267.52m$

c. You only need to divide 1,140 meters by 12:

$\frac{1,140m}{12})=95m$

d. You can convert from hectometers to kilometers, from decameters to kilometers and from meters to kilometers, and divide this by 15:

$\frac{6hm}{10}=0.6km$

$\frac{7dam}{100}=0.07km$

$\frac{5m}{1000}=0.005km$

$\frac{(3km)(0.6km)(0.07km)(0.005km)}{15}=(4.2)(10^{-5})$ km

3(x+10)=2(2x+16) help please & thank you

andrew-mc [135]

In this question, you have to isolate <em>x</em>.

First, use the distributive property.

$3x+30=4x+32$

Now that you have distributed, subtract the constants.

Is 3.142857 a rational number

gregori [183]

If you're talking about just the decimal, then yes it is.
If you're talking about 22/7, then it still is.
But if you're talking about pi, then it isn't rational.
