.5 means half so in an hour there is 60 mins. And 60 mins divided by 2 is 30 mins .
So 7 hours and 30 minutes

A grid shows the positions of a subway stop and your house. The subway stop is located at (7, -6) and your house is located at (

Yuri [45]

So the distance between subway stop and house is 19 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula will be used to calculate the distance between home and subway.

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of first point

and

(x2,y2) are the coordinates of second point

Given

(x1,y1) = (7, -6)

(x2,y2) = (-9,5)

Putting the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-9-7)^2+(5-(-6))^2} \\=\sqrt{(-16)^2+(5+6)^2} \\=\sqrt{256+(11)^2}\\=\sqrt{256+121}\\=\sqrt{377}\\=19.41\ units$

Rounding off to nearest unit gives us 19.

So the distance between subway stop and house is 19 units

Simplify this please

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$\frac{12q^{\frac{7}{3}}}{p^{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some rules you need to simplify this expression:

Distribute exponents: When you raise an exponent to another exponent, you multiply the exponents together. This includes exponents that are fractions. $(a^{x})^{n} = a^{xn}$

Negative exponent rule: When an exponent is negative, you can make it positive by making the base a fraction. When the number is apart of a bigger fraction, you can move it to the other side (top/bottom). $a^{-x} = \frac{1}{a^{x}}$ , and to help with this question: $\frac{a^{-x}b}{1} = \frac{b}{a^{x}}$ .

Multiplying exponents with same base: When exponential numbers have the same base, you can combine them by adding their exponents together. $(a^{x})(a^{y}) = a^{x+y}$

Dividing exponents with same base: When exponential numbers have the same base, you can combine them by subtracting the exponents. $\frac{a^{x}}{a^{y}} = a^{x-y}$

Fractional exponents as a radical: When a number has an exponent that is a fraction, the numerator can remain the exponent, and the denominator becomes the index (example, index here ∛ is 3). $a^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a^{m}} = (\sqrt[n]{a})^{m}$

$\frac{(8p^{-6} q^{3})^{2/3}}{(27p^{3}q)^{-1/3}}$ Distribute exponent

$=\frac{8^{(2/3)}p^{(-6*2/3)}q^{(3*2/3)}}{27^{(-1/3)}p^{(3*-1/3)}q^{(-1/3)}}$ Simplify each exponent by multiplying

$=\frac{8^{(2/3)}p^{(-4)}q^{(2)}}{27^{(-1/3)}p^{(-1)}q^{(-1/3)}}$ Negative exponent rule

$=\frac{8^{(2/3)}q^{(2)}27^{(1/3)}p^{(1)}q^{(1/3)}}{p^{(4)}}$ Combine the like terms in the numerator with the base "q"

$=\frac{8^{(2/3)}27^{(1/3)}p^{(1)}q^{(2)}q^{(1/3)}}{p^{(4)}}$ Rearranged for you to see the like terms

$=\frac{8^{(2/3)}27^{(1/3)}p^{(1)}q^{(2)+(1/3)}}{p^{(4)}}$ Multiplying exponents with same base

$=\frac{8^{(2/3)}27^{(1/3)}p^{(1)}q^{(7/3)}}{p^{(4)}}$ 2 + 1/3 = 7/3

$=\frac{\sqrt[3]{8^{2}}\sqrt[3]{27}p\sqrt[3]{q^{7}}}{p^{4}}$ Fractional exponents as radical form

$=\frac{(\sqrt[3]{64})(3)(p)(q^{\frac{7}{3}})}{p^{4}}$ Simplified cubes. Wrote brackets to lessen confusion. Notice the radical of a variable can't be simplified.
