Answer:

8x^{-10}y^6 - 2x^2y^{-8} = \frac{8y^{14} - 2x^{12}}{x^{10}y^8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x^{-10}y^6 - 2x^2y^{-8}

Required

Simplify

Rewrite as:

8x^{-10}y^6 - 2x^2y^{-8} = \frac{8y^6}{x^{10}} - \frac{2x^2}{y^8}

Take LCM

8x^{-10}y^6 - 2x^2y^{-8} = \frac{8y^6*y^8 - 2x^2 * x^{10}}{x^{10}y^8}

Apply law of indices

8x^{-10}y^6 - 2x^2y^{-8} = \frac{8y^{14} - 2x^{12}}{x^{10}y^8}

When the expression $-2x^2-20x-53$ is written in the form $a(x+d)^2+e$, where $a$, $d$, and $e$ are constants, then what is the
Sladkaya [172]
We start with 2 x^{2} -20x-53 and wish to write it as a(x+d) ^{2} +e

First, pull 2 out from the first two terms: 2( x^{2} -10x)-53

Let’s look at what is in parenthesis. In the final form this needs to be a perfect square. Right now we have x^{2} -10x and we can obtain -10x by adding -5x and -5x. That is, we can build the following perfect square: x^{2} -10x+25=(x-5) ^{2}

The “problem” with what we just did is that we added to what was given. Let’s put the expression together. We have 2( x-5) ^{2}-53 and when we multiply that out it does not give us what we started with. It gives us 2 x^{2} -20x+50-53=2 x^{2} -20x-3

So you see our expression is not right. It should have a -53 but instead has a -3. So to correct it we need to subtract another 50.

We do this as follows: 2(x-5) ^{2}-53-50 which gives us the final expression we seek:

2(x-5) ^{2}-103

If you multiply this out you will get the exact expression we were given. This means that:
a = 2
d = -5
e =  -103

We are asked for the sum of a, d and e which is 2 + (-5) + (-103) = -106

joja [24]

Answer:

x=27

Step-by-step explanation:

expanding the above expression we get

5x+5=4x+32

grouping numbers with coefficient of x at the left side and constant at the right side we get

5x-4x=32-5

x=27
