The answer is 23 1/3. First, you need to add 280 to both sides of the equations in order cancel out 280 and get 12x by itself. But remember whatever you do to one side of an equation, you must to do the other. So now you have 12x=280. Now divide both sides of the equation by 12 in order to get x completely isolated. 280 divided by twelve is 23 1/3.
I think the answer is 2^12
because ...
16^3 is equal to 4,096
and 2^12 is also equal to 4,096
10.125 as a percentage is 1012.5%
Answer:
d.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert a root to a fraction in the exponent, remember this rule:
![\sqrt[n]{a^{m}}=a^{\frac{m}{n}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Ba%5E%7Bm%7D%7D%3Da%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D%7D)
The index becomes the denominator in the fraction. (The index is the little number in front of the root, "n".) The original exponent remains in the numerator.
In this question, the index is 4.
The index is applied to every base in the equation under the root. The bases are 16, 'x' and 'y'.
![\sqrt[4]{16x^{15}y^{17}} = (\sqrt[4]{16})(\sqrt[4]{x^{15}})(\sqrt[4]{y^{17}}) = (2)(x^{\frac{15}{4}}})(y^{\frac{17}{4}}) = 2x^{\frac{15}{4}}}y^{\frac{17}{4}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B16x%5E%7B15%7Dy%5E%7B17%7D%7D%20%3D%20%28%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B16%7D%29%28%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E%7B15%7D%7D%29%28%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7By%5E%7B17%7D%7D%29%20%3D%20%282%29%28x%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B4%7D%7D%7D%29%28y%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B17%7D%7B4%7D%7D%29%20%3D%202x%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B4%7D%7D%7Dy%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B17%7D%7B4%7D%7D)
To find the quad root of 16, input this into your calculator. Since 2⁴ = 16, ![\sqrt[4]{16}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B16%7D)
= 2.
For the "x" and "y" bases, use the rule for converting roots to exponent fractions. The index, 4, becomes the denominator in each fraction.
