Answer: 1</h3>
where x is nonzero
=======================================================
Explanation:
We'll use two rules here
- (a^b)^c = a^(b*c) ... multiply exponents
- a^b*a^c = a^(b+c) ... add exponents
------------------------------
The portion [ x^(a-b) ]^(a+b) would turn into x^[ (a-b)(a+b) ] after using the first rule shown above. That turns into x^(a^2 - b^2) after using the difference of squares rule.
Similarly, the second portion turns into x^(b^2-c^2) and the third part becomes x^(c^2-a^2)
-------------------------------
After applying rule 1 to each of the three pieces, we will have 3 bases of x with the exponents of (a^2-b^2), (b^2-c^2) and (c^2-a^2)
Add up those exponents (using rule 2 above) and we get
(a^2-b^2)+(b^2-c^2)+(c^2-a^2)
a^2-b^2+b^2-c^2+c^2-a^2
(a^2-a^2) + (-b^2+b^2) + (-c^2+c^2)
0a^2 + 0b^2 + 0c^2
0+0+0
0
All three exponents add to 0. As long as x is nonzero, then x^0 = 1
Answer:
(x+9)^2+(y+5)^2=81
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2
(h,k)=center
r=radius
so if you just insert the center (-9,-5) and the r with 9
(x-(-9))^2+(y-(-5))^2=9^2
(x+9)^2+(y+5)^2=81
Hope that helps :)
Answer:
25% of 30% of 400 = 30
33% decrease in value
Step-by-step explanation:
You can either get 30% of 400 first then 25% of 400 or you can get the total percentage of 400.
Method 1:
30% of 400 = 0.3 of 400 = 0.3 * 400 = 120
25% of 120 = .25 of 120 = .25 * 120 = 30
Method 2:
30% of 25% = 0.3 * 0.25 = 0.075 = 7.5% of 400
7.5% of 400 = 0.075 of 400 = 0.075 * 400 = 30
5.) To find the percentage of the new price, you can build the equation below.
The percentage decrease in price is then 100% of the original price - 66.667% of the original price = 100% - 66.67% = 33.33% = 33% decrease.
Alice has read 150 pages, you would multiple 200 by .75 (75%). If Nina had read 50% of her book and she read 150, you multiple by 2, and get 300. So Nina has 300 pages in her book.
Answer: the box contained 9 square chocolates and 15 round chocolates.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of square chocolates contained in the box.
Let y represent the number of round chocolates contained in the box.
The box of chocolates contains square chocolates, which weigh 10g each and round chocolates which weigh 8g each. The combined weight of all the chocolates is 210g. It means that
10x + 8y = 210- - - - - - - - - - -1
The number of round chocolates is 3 less than twice the number of square chocolates. It means that
y = 2x - 3
Substituting y = 2x - 3 into equation 1, it becomes
10x + 8(2x - 3) = 210
10x + 16x - 24 = 210
26x = 210 + 24
26x = 234
x = 234/26
x = 9
y = 2x - 3 = 2 × 9 - 3
y = 18 - 3
y = 15
