Nolan and his children bought fruits (Apples and bananas) worth $8.

Cost of each apple and bananas are $2 and $0.40 respectively.

Let the number of bananas he bought = y

And the number of apples = x

Therefore, cost of the apples =$2x

And the cost of bananas = $0.40y

Total cost of 'x' apples and 'y' bananas = $(2x + 0.40y)

Equation representing the total cost of fruits will be,

(2x + 0.40y) = 8

10(2x + 0.40y) = 10(8)

20x + 4y = 80

5x + y = 20 --------(1)

If he bought 5 times as many bananas as apples,

y = 5x ------(2)

Substitute the value of y from equation (2) to equation (1),

5x + 5x = 20

10x = 20

x = 2

Substitute the value of 'x' in equation (2)

y = 5(2)

y = 10

Therefore, Nolan bought 2 apples and 10 bananas.

Answer:

f(-5) = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x with -5

f(-5) = -3 (-5) - 2

=> 15 - 2

=> 13

Which statement is true?

love history [14]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The second option,

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

Discarding each given option in order to find the correct one, we have:

<h2>First option,</h2>

$\sqrt[m]{x}\sqrt[m]{y}=\sqrt[2m]{xy}$

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

$\sqrt[m]{x}\sqrt[m]{y}=\sqrt[m]{xy}$

<h2>Second option,</h2>

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

The statement is true, we can prove it by using the following properties of exponents:

$(a^{b})^{c}=a^{bc}$

$\sqrt[n]{x^{m} }=x^{\frac{m}{n} }$

We are given the expression:

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}$

So, applying the properties, we have:

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=(x^{\frac{a}{m}})^{b}=x^{\frac{ab}{m}}\\\\x^{\frac{ab}{m}}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

Hence,

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

<h2>Third option,</h2>

$a\sqrt[n]{x}+b\sqrt[n]{x}=ab\sqrt[n]{x}$

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

$a\sqrt[n]{x}+b\sqrt[n]{x}=(a+b)\sqrt[n]{x}$

<h2>Fourth option,</h2>

$\frac{\sqrt[m]{x} }{\sqrt[m]{y}}=m\sqrt{xy}$

The statement is false, the correct form of the statement (according to the property of roots) is:

$\frac{\sqrt[m]{x} }{\sqrt[m]{y}}=\sqrt[m]{\frac{x}{y} }$

Hence, the answer is, the statement that is true is the second statement:

$(\sqrt[m]{x^{a} } )^{b}=\sqrt[m]{x^{ab} }$

Have a nice day!
