Answer:

Tamara incorrectly factored the whole expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

•21x=3·7·x;

•56xy=2·2·2·7·x·y.

Mark in bold all common factors, then GCF(21x,56xy)=7·x=7x.

Thus,

21x+56xy=7x(3+8y).

Hence, Tamara correctly found the GCF of numbers 21 and 56, but incorrectly factored the whole expression.

What is the length of DE?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

If two chords intersect in a circle, the product of the lengths of the segments of one chord equal the product of the segments of the other.

AC *CB = CD CE

4 * (10-4) = CD * 8

4 * 6 = 8 *CD

24 = 8 CD

Divide each side by 8

24/8 = CD

3 = CD

We want the length DE

DE = CD + CE

     = 3 + 8

DE = 11

Express -32/243 into power notation​
lesya692 [45]

This problem can take a while if you cannot observer the answer quickly.

First of all we can see that 32=2*2*2*2*2=2^5

243, if you don't know its actually is 3^5

Now we can see that this turns into...

- 2^5/3^5

since the 5th power doesn't change the sign of the original number, we can put the negative in the ( ), if you don't know what I mean look below

(-3)^2=9 Positive

(-3)^3=-27 Negative since its to the odd power it keeps the sign.

This problem can be simplified to.

(-2/3)^5

And this is the answer :D

If you have any questions just put them in the comments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pythagoras theorem =>

b=\sqrt{c^2-a^2

b=\sqrt{5^2-3^2}

b=\sqrt{25-9}

b=\sqrt{16}

b=4

Answer: 99 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

you cut the height in half, so 6 divided by 2 = 3, if you do that you have to do the same to the width, so again 6 divided by 2 = 3, the length stays the same, so the equation would be 3 X 3 X 11 = 99
