The common factor would be 3 because 3 is the highest multiple of 15 and 9
Answer:
y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
It is always a good idea to look at the question and make some observations about it. Here, you might observe ...
- all of the bases are powers of 3: 243 = 3^5; 9 = 3^2
- y is a factor of every exponent
The latter observation is important, because it means that when y=0, every exponential expression has a value of 1. Hence y = 0 is a solution.

To solve the equation, you can write it in terms of powers of 3.
(3^5)^(-y) = (3^-5)^(3y)·(3^2)^(-2y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-15y)·3^(-4y)
3^(-5y) = 3^(-19y)
-5y = -19y . . . . . . . . equating exponents; equivalent to taking log base 3
14y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . add 19y
y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . one solution
______
The rules of exponents we used are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
1/a^b = a^-b
Answer:
e. 0.0072
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a bottling company uses a filling machine to fill plastic bottles with cola. And the contents vary according to a Normal distribution with Mean, μ = 298 ml and Standard deviation, σ = 3 ml .
Let Z =
~ N(0,1) where, Xbar = mean contents of six randomly
selected bottles
n = sample size i.e. 6
So, Probability that the mean contents of six randomly selected bottles is less than 295 ml is given by, P(Xbar < 295)
P(Xbar < 295) = P(
<
) = P(Z < -2.45) = P(Z > 2.45)
Now, using z% score table we find that P(Z > 2.45) = 0.00715 ≈ 0.0072 .
Therefore, option e is correct .
Distribute and you will find 6(3)+6(-y)=18+(-6y)=18-6y
