Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

x = k/y

15 = k/-4

k = -60

x = -60/-6

x = 10

1. Which of the following is equivalent to x5y2/xy2 when x ≠ 0 and y ≠ 0?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Q1. The answer is <span>D. x4
</span>
Let's first rewrite the expression:
x⁵y²/xy² = x⁵/x * y²/y²

Using the rule xᵃ/xᵇ = x(ᵃ⁻ᵇ), we can write the expression as following:
x⁵y²/xy² = x⁵/x * y²/y² = x⁵⁻¹ * y²⁻² = x⁴ * y⁰ = x⁴ * 1 = x⁴

Thus, the correct answer is D.


Q2. The answer is <span>A. 5(5^3/2/5)^2
</span>
125 in the form of exponent is 5³.
125 = 5³
Now, let's calculate all choices. 
 
The rules we will use are:
xᵃ * xᵇ = x(ᵃ⁺ᵇ)
xᵃ/xᵇ = x(ᵃ⁻ᵇ)
(xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃ*ᵇ

A. 5(5³/2/5)² = 5 * (5³ * 5/2)²
                      = 5 * (5³⁺¹/2)²
                      = 5 * (5⁴/2)²
                      = 5 * (5⁴)²/(2)²
                      = 5 * 5⁴*²/4
                      = 5 * 5⁸ / 4
                      = 5¹⁺⁸ / 4
                      = 5⁹/4
                      ≠ 5³ ≠ 125

B. (5³/5⁴)⁻³ = (5³⁻⁴)⁻³
                   = (5⁻¹)⁻³
                   = 5⁽⁻¹⁾*⁽⁻³⁾
                   = 5³
                   = 125

C. 5⁻²/5⁻⁵  = 5⁽⁻²⁾⁻⁽⁻⁵) 
                  = 5⁽⁻²⁾⁺⁵
                  = 5³
                  = 125<span>

D. 5(5</span>⁵/5³) = 5 * 5⁵⁻³
                  = 5 * 5²
                  = 5¹⁺²
                  = 5³
                  = 125

Therefore, the only expression that is not equal to 125 is A.


Q3. The answer is <span>63x5

Let's check all choices
</span>The rules we will use are:
xᵃ * xᵇ = x(ᵃ⁺ᵇ)
xᵃ/xᵇ = x(ᵃ⁻ᵇ)
(xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃ*ᵇ

A. 6³<span>x 
</span>6³x/6x⁵ = 6³/6 * x/x⁵
             = 6³⁻¹ * x¹⁻⁵
             = 6²x⁻⁴
             = 36x⁻⁴
             ≠ 36<span>

B. 6</span>³x⁵ 
6³x⁵/6x⁵ = 6³/6 * x⁵/x⁵
              = 6³⁻¹ * x⁵⁻⁵
              = 6² * x⁰
<span>              = 36 * 1
              = 36

C. 6x</span>⁵<span> 
</span>6x⁵/6x⁵ = 1
             ≠ 36
<span>
D. 6</span>⁷x⁵
6⁷x⁵/6x⁵ = 6⁷/6 * x⁵/x⁵
              = 6⁷⁻¹ * x⁵⁻⁵
              = 6⁶ * x⁰
              = 46656 * 1
              ≠ 36

Therefore, the correct choice is B.


Q4. The answer is

We will use the rule: xᵃ/xᵇ = x(ᵃ⁻ᵇ)

5.4 x 10¹²/1.2 x 10³ = 5.4 / 1.2 x 10¹²/10³
                               = 4.5 x 10¹²⁻³
                               = 4.5 x 10⁹


Q5. The answer is B. <span>To subtract powers with the same base, divide the exponents

Some of the rules </span><span>regarding operations with exponents are:
</span>xᵃ/xᵇ = x(ᵃ⁻ᵇ) - choice A
xᵃ * xᵇ = x(ᵃ⁺ᵇ) - choice C
(xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃ*ᵇ - choice D

Through the process of elimination, choice B is not true.

Seema is travelling to Guernsey. She travels a distance of 3,800 km by plane to London and then another 400 km to Guernsey. Both
slava [35]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  4 hours 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate relation is ...

  time = distance/speed

  time = (3800 km)/(900 km/h) +(400 km)/(900 km/h) = (38+4)/9 h

  = 14/3 h = 4 2/3 h

Seema's flight time is 4 hours 40 minutes.

__

2/3 of 60 minutes is 40 minutes

Question 1<br> Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
Mashcka [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

to convert a mixed number to an improper fraction: take the big whole new on the right and multiply it by the denominators or number on the bottom of the fraction. then add thay amount to the numerator, or number on top and leave the denominator as it was before

example: 2 3/5 = 13/5

you can dissect the example to figure out the formula (formula is the way to solve an equation)
