first change any decimal to a whole. -4(175+x)=18. Then times -4 by 175 and x, -700+ 4x =18. Then add +700 to -700 which equals just 4x ,then add +700 to 18, which is 4x = 718. then divide both sides by 4 and estimate. x= 180

which of the following is equivalent to 3 sqrt 32x^3y^6 / 3 sqrt 2x^9y^2 where x is greater than or equal to 0 and y is greater

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{16y^4}}{x^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are missing; However, I'll simplify the given expression.

Given

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{32x^3y^6}}{\sqrt[3]{2x^9y^2} }$

Required

Write Equivalent Expression

To solve this expression, we'll make use of laws of indices throughout.

From laws of indices $\sqrt[n]{a} = a^{\frac{1}{n}}$

So,

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{32x^3y^6}}{\sqrt[3]{2x^9y^2} }$ gives

$\frac{(32x^3y^6)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{(2x^9y^2)^\frac{1}{3}}$

Also from laws of indices

$(ab)^n = a^nb^n$

So, the above expression can be further simplified to

$\frac{(32^\frac{1}{3}x^{3*\frac{1}{3}}y^{6*\frac{1}{3}})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{9*\frac{1}{3}}y^{2*\frac{1}{3}})}$

Multiply the exponents gives

$\frac{(32^\frac{1}{3}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}$

Substitute $2^5$ for 32

$\frac{(2^{5*\frac{1}{3}}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}$

$\frac{(2^{\frac{5}{3}}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}$

From laws of indices

$\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$

This law can be applied to the expression above;

$\frac{(2^{\frac{5}{3}}x*y^{2})}{(2^\frac{1}{3}x^{3}*y^{\frac{2}{3}})}$ becomes

$2^{\frac{5}{3}-\frac{1}{3}}x^{1-3}*y^{2-\frac{2}{3}}$

Solve exponents

$2^{\frac{5-1}{3}}*x^{-2}*y^{\frac{6-2}{3}}$

$2^{\frac{4}{3}}*x^{-2}*y^{\frac{4}{3}}$

From laws of indices,

$a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$ ; So,

$2^{\frac{4}{3}}*x^{-2}*y^{\frac{4}{3}}$ gives

$\frac{2^{\frac{4}{3}}*y^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^2}$

The expression at the numerator can be combined to give

$\frac{(2y)^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^2}$

Lastly, From laws of indices,

$a^{\frac{m}{n} = \sqrt[n]{a^m}$ ; So,

$\frac{(2y)^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^2}$ becomes

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{(2y)}^{4}}{x^2}$

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{16y^4}}{x^2}$

Hence,

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{32x^3y^6}}{\sqrt[3]{2x^9y^2} }$ is equivalent to $\frac{\sqrt[3]{16y^4}}{x^2}$
