When the bases are the same, you can combine the exponents.
x³ [x is where the base is]
For example:
x³ · y² = x³y² You can't simplify this anymore because they have different bases/variables
[when you multiply a variable with an exponent by a variable with an exponent, you add the exponents together] so:
x² · x³ = 
[when you multiply a variable with an exponent by an exponent, you multiply the exponents together] so:
(x³)²=

Answer:
(x - 7)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 5^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Center at (7, 2); radius 5
Adapt (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 to this situation. Replace h by 7, k by 2 and r by 5:
(x - 7)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 5^2
He is wrong because 12:55 is one hr and you still need to get to 1:25 but he only got to 1:01 so he did not get the correct answer
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1 simplified like terms -11k +3k =8k
step 2 incorrect should be -4k -20 on the left side distributive property
step 3 added 8k to each side
step 4 added 20 to each side
step 5 divided each side by 4
X=3 and x=-9 solve by factoring
