How do I simplify the n^-6*n^3 topic "Negative and Zero Exponents"

7 0

Since you’re multiplying n^-6 and n^3, you can add the exponents: -6+3 = -3

n^-6 * n^3 = n^-3

If you need to finish without having a negative exponent in your answer, then remember a negative exponent means that factor is on the wrong side of the fraction.

n^-3 = n^-3 / 1 = 1/n^3

when the factor moves to the other side of the fraction, the side of the exponent changes.

Half-Life Formula:

Amount remaining = (Initial amount)[ (1/2)^(time / half-life) ]

Amount remaining = ?

Initial amount = 200 mg

Time = 2 hours = 120 minutes

Half-Life = 20 mins

---Notice that I changed the time from hours to minutes. The time and half-life time need to be in the same unit.

A = (200)[ (1/2)^(120/20) ]

A = (200)(1/2 ^6)

A = (200)(1/64)

A = 3.125

Answer: 3.125 mg remain

Hope this helps!

the point 3,2 lies on a circle.what is the exact length of the radius of this circle if the center is located at (-1,-4)

You can use the distance formula to solve this.

Distance Formula:
$d = \sqrt{(X_2 -X_1)^2 + (Y_2 - Y_1)^2}$

I am going to use point (3,2) as point 1 and (-1,-4) as point 2
Insert the points into the formula
$d = \sqrt{(X_2 -X_1)^2 + (Y_2 - Y_1)^2}$
$d = \sqrt{((-1) - 3)^2 + ((-4) - 2)^2}$
Solve:
$d = \sqrt{((-1) - 3)^2 + ((-4) - 2)^2}$
$d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-6)^2}$
$d = \sqrt{16 + 36}$
$d = \sqrt{52}$
$d = \sqrt{52} = \sqrt{4}\sqrt{13}$
$d = \sqrt{52} = 2 \sqrt{13}$
$d = 2 \sqrt{13}$
$radius = 2 \sqrt{13} = 7.2111$
