The first answer is correct because the terms are alike in both expressions
Answer:
-8x^12
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have an exponent outside of parenthesis, it is raising everything in the parenthesis to that exponent (in this case, the third). The first step to solve this is to multiply the exponents in the parenthesis by 3. This is called the power of a power rule.
-2 is being raised to the first power. 1x3 = 3, and x is being raised to the fourth power. 4x3 = 12, so you now have:
-2^3x^12
You can simplify -2^3: -2 x -2 x -2 = -8
This leaves you with -8x^12
You can check this by putting -8x^12 and (-2x^4)^3 into a graphing calculator. You know that you simplified correctly if they show the same graphs.
Answer:
B. 181.5√3 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a regular hexagon with side length s is given by ...
A = (3√3/2)s²
For side length s = 11 cm, the area is ...
A = (3√3/2)(11 cm)² = 363√3/2 cm²
A = 181.5√3 cm²
It sounds like everything is being described in reference to angle A, so a good starting point is to pick a variable to represent the measure of angle A. I'm going to use "a" for that.
Next, I'm going to take the verbal descriptions in the problem and "translate" them into "math language". They say angle B is 5 times angle A, so that means the measure of angle B is actually 5a. The size of angle C is 5 degrees less than 4 times the size of A, so that translates to 4a-5.
We now know the following:
Angle A: a
Angle B: 5a
Angle C: 4a-5
Now, to find the value of a, we need to remember that all the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.
So we have: a+5a+4a-5 = 180
We can solve that equation by combining like terms to get: 10a-5=180
We can add 5 to both sides: 10a =185
And divide by 10: a = 18.5
That tells us the measure of angle A! (It's 18.5 degrees). Now we can go back and find B by multiplying A by 5. We get 92.5 degrees for that.
Finally, we can find C by taking 4*18.5-5. We get 69 degrees for that.
One last thing-- let's check that they really do add up to 180! 69+92.5+18.5 = 180. Yep!
Hope that helps you!!
