Answer:
- <u><em>1. x = - 3</em></u>
- <u><em>2. y = -9</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
Explanation:
The expressions are garbled. The correct expressions to determine the product of powers are:
1. What is the value of x in the product of powers
?
2. What is the value of y in the product of
?
3. What is the value of n in th product of
?

<u>1. What is the value of x in the product of powers </u>
<u> ?</u>
Apply the rule of the <em>product of powers with the same base</em> to the left side of the equality.
The product of two powers with the same base is the base raised to the sum of the exponent:

Now the power on the left side has the same base as the power on the right side, so the exponents are the same:
<u />
<u>2. What is the value of y in the product of </u>
<u> ?</u>
Again, the product of the two powers on the left side is equal to the common base raised to the sum of the exponents:
On the left side, you get:

Then,

3. What is the value of n in th product of
?
Same rule:
Left side:

Left side equal to right side:

So 12 out of 32=12/32=6/16=3/8
percent means parts out of 100 so
x/100=x%
3/8=0.375/1
0.375/1 times 100/100=37.5/100=37.5%
answer is 37.5%
The sequence:
-18 , -22.5 , -27 , -31.5 , -36
Common difference:
(-18 - -22.5) = (-22.5 - -27) = (-27 - -31.5) = (-31.5 - -36) = 4.5 ( When two minuses come together, they make a plus. So difference is certainly the positive next number - positive previous number to give 4.5)
Common difference = 4.5
Type of the sequence: Arithmetic sequence.
