b. 6 units
c. 9 units
d. 5 units

It is 6 units because if you divide 9 by 3 you get 3 and you multiple that by 2 to make it 6:9 which is equal to 2:3

Which is the simplified form of n Superscript negative 6 p cubed?

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Third option. $\frac{p^3}{n^{6}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you need to remember one of the properties for exponents.

There is a property called the "Negative property of exponents" which states the following:

$b^{-n}=\frac{1}{b^n}$

Where $b \neq0$

As you can observe, $b^n$ is the reciprocal of $b^{-n}$

In this case you have the following expression given in the exercise:

$n^{-6}p^3$

Observe the expression. As you can notice, the base "n" has a negative exponent, which is -6.

Therefore, applying the Negative property of exponents explained at the beginning of this explanation, you can simplify the expression.

Then, the simplified form of $n^{-6p^3}$ is the one shown below:

$n^{-6}p^3=\frac{p^3}{n^{6}}$

Answer: Angle ABC = 60, angle CBD = 120 and angle GFH = 60

Step-by-step explanation: Line ABD is parallel to line EFG. Line line CFH is a straight line that cuts across both parallel lines. Therefore, angle FBD and angle HFG are corresponding angles. That means angle FBD equals 3x. Also 3x plus 6X equals 180. That is,

3x + 6x = 180 {Sum of angles on a straight line equals 180}

9x = 180

Divide both sides of the equation by 9

x = 20.

That means angle 6x measures 6(20) and that is 120 degrees.

Also angle 3x measures 3(20) and that is 60 degrees.

Angle ABC + Angle CBD = 180 {Sum of angles on a straight line equals 180}

Angle ABC + 120 = 180

Angle ABC = 180 - 120

Angle ABC = 60

Also angle CBD equals 6x, and x = 20. Therefore angle CBD = 6 x 20

Angle CBD = 120.

And then, angle GFH = 3x, and x equals 20. Hence angle GFH = 60.

Therefore angle ABC = 60, angle CBD = 120 and angle GFH = 60.
