Answer:

$3 is 15% of $20.

10% of $20: $2

5% of $20: 2/2 = 1

2 + 1 = 3 or 10% + 5% = 15%

This is really confusing me:<br> Simplify so that your answers contain only positive exponents.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplifying expressions of this sort, there are four rules of exponents that come into play;

$a^ba^c=a^{b+c}\\\\(ab)^c=a^cb^c\\\\(a^b)^c=a^{bc}\\\\\dfrac{1}{a^b}=a^{-b}\ \quad\text{which means}\quad a^b=\dfrac{1}{a^{-b}}$

__

I find it convenient to eliminate the fractions by adding the exponents, then rewrite any negative exponents as denominator factors.

$23. \quad\dfrac{1}{x^{-2}}=x^2\\\\24. \quad\dfrac{mn}{m^2n^3}=m^{1-2}n^{1-3}=m^{-1}n^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{mn^2}\\\\25. \quad\dfrac{k^{-2}}{k^{-3}}=k^{-2-(-3)}=k\\\\26. \quad\left(\dfrac{m^2}{n^3}\right)^3=\dfrac{m^{2\cdot 3}}{n^{3\cdot 3}}=\dfrac{m^6}{n^9}\\\\27. \quad\dfrac{x^2y^3z^4}{x^{-3}y^{-4}z^{-5}}=x^{2-(-3)}y^{3-(-4)}z^{4-(-5)}=x^5y^7z^9$

When a constant force acts upon an object, the acceleration of the object varies inversely with its mass. When a certain constan

vitfil [10]

Answer:

$a = 6m/s^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

When mass = 4kg; Acceleration = 15m/s²

Required

Determine the acceleration when mass = 10kg, provided force is constant;

Represent mass with m and acceleration with a

The question says there's an inverse variation between acceleration and mass; This is represented as thus;

$a\ \alpha\ \frac{1}{m}$

Convert variation to equality

$a = \frac{F}{m}$ ; Where F is the constant of variation (Force)

Make F the subject of formula;

$F = ma$

When mass = 4kg; Acceleration = 15m/s²

$F = 4 * 15$

$F = 60N$

When mass = 10kg; Substitute 60 for Force

$F = ma$

$60 = 10 * a$

$60 = 10a$

Divide both sides by 10

$\frac{60}{10} = \frac{10a}{10}$

$a = 6m/s^2$

<em>Hence, the acceleration is </em> $a = 6m/s^2$ <em />

What is the simplest form of the expression 6x(x − 4) − 16x2 − (9x − 1)

Sedbober [7]

Use distributie property which is
a(b+c)=ab+ac
therefor
6x(x-4)=6x^2-24x

distribute the negative 1 infroont of the (9x-1)
-1(9x-1)=-9x+1
now we have

6x^2-24x-16x^2-9x+1
gropu like terms
6x^2-16x^2-24x-9x+1
add like terms
-10x^2-33x+1 is simplest form
