Answer:

9x⁵

Step-by-step explanation:

Use properties of exponents:

$a^{b} a^{c} = a^{b+c}$ , $(a^{b} ^)^{c} = a^{bc}$ , $1/a^{-b} = a^{b}$

Simplify the given expression:

3⁴⋅x⋅(3/x²)⁻² =
3⁴·x·(3x⁻²)⁻² =
3⁴·x·(3⁻²)(x⁻²ˣ⁻²) =
3⁴⁻²·x¹⁺4 =
3²·x⁵ =
9x⁵

A homeowner has 32 feet of fencing to build three sides of a rectangular chicken coup. One side of the chicken coup will be agai

zepelin [54]

Answer:

The ideal length is 16 feet

The ideal width is 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The length of the fencing available to the homeowner = 32 feet

The number of sides of the rectangular chicken coup the fence will be applied = 3 sides

Let L represent the length and W, represent the width

Therefore, we have;

The perimeter of the fence = 2W + L = 32 feet

L = 32 - 2·W

The area is given by, A = Length, L × Width, W

A = (32 - 2·W) × W = 32·W - 2·W²

Differentiating with respect to W and equating to 0 to find the maximum point gives;

dA/dW = d(32·W - 2·W²)/dW = 0

32 - 4·W = 0

4·W = 32

W = 32/4 = 8

W = 8 feet

Given that the sign of the variable in the equation of the derivative is negative, the value we get is the maximum point

The ideal width W = 8 feet

The length, L = 32 - 2·W = 32 - 2 × 8 = 16 feet

Therefore, the ideal length, L = 16 feet.

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality 3x-4y>5

Sloan [31]

Note: you did not provide the answer options, so I am, in general, solving this query to solve your concept, which anyways would clear your concept.

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

$3x-4y>5$

All we need is to find any random value of 'x' and then solve the inequality.

For example, putting x=3

$3\left(3\right)-4y>5$

$9-4y>5$

$-4y>-4$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:-1\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)}$

$\left(-4y\right)\left(-1\right)$

$4y$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4$

$\frac{4y}{4}$

$y$

So, at x = 3, the calculation shows that the value of y must be less

than 1 i.e. y<1 in order to be the solution.

Let us take the random y value that is less than 1.

As y=0.9 < 1

so putting y=0.9 in the inequality

$3\left(3\right)-4\left(0.9\right)$

$=9-3.6$

$=5.4$

As 5.4 > 5

Means at x=3, and y=0.9, the inequality is satisfied.

Thus, (3, 0.9) is one of the many ordered pairs solutions to the inequality 3x-4y>5.

How long would it take you to double your money is the bank pays 3.6% interest, compounded

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

$t=19.25\ years$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

$A=P(e)^{rt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

e is the mathematical constant number

we have

$t=?\ years\\P=x\\r=3.6\%=3.6/100=0.036\\A=2x$

substitute in the formula above

$2x=x(e)^{0.036t}$

solve for t

simplify

$2=(e)^{0.036t}$

Apply ln both sides

$ln(2)=ln[(e)^{0.036t}]$

Applying property of exponents

$ln(2)=[0.036t]ln(e)$

Remember that ln(e) =1

$ln(2)=[0.036t]$

$t=ln(2)/[0.036]$

$t=19.25\ years$

There were 442 students at Deerlake Middle School who voted on a theme for the spring carnival. Those who voted represent 76% of

never [62]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students of Deerlake middle school that voted = 442

Percentage of student that voted = 76%

Let x be the total number of student.

According to the Question,

$\frac{76}{100}\times x=442$

$x=442\times\frac{100}{76}$

$x=582$

Therefore, Option C is correct.
