For this case we have the following expression:

b ^ 5b ^ 4

We must consider the following property of the exponents.

  • <em>In multiplication, when we have the same base, the exponents are added. </em>

Rewriting the given expression we have:

b ^ 5b ^ 4 = b ^ {(5 + 4)}\\b ^ 5b ^ 4 = b ^ 9

Answer:

the correct simplification of the expression is:

b ^ 5b ^ 4 = b ^ 9

When multiplying like terms, you add the exponents:

b^5 · b^4 = b^(5+4) = b^9

FYI - when <em>dividing </em>like terms, subtract the exponents.

The only time we multiply exponents is when they distribute across parentheses:
(x³)² = x^6

Which description best compares the graphs given by the equations:
nexus9112 [7]

x - 5y = -5, -5x - 25y = 25

First, you'll need to get the x variable by itself.

x - 5y = -5<u>
</u><u>    +5    +5</u><u>
</u>       x = 0
So x is plotted on the 0.

For the second part of the first equation, you'll be looking for what the y variable represents.

x - 5y = -5
<u>-x           -x</u><u>
</u>     <u>-5y</u> = <u>-5</u><u>
</u><u>       5      5</u><u>
</u>        y = 1
So y is plotted on the 1 on the vertical line above the 0.

For the first part of the second equation, you'll do the same thing as in the first equation.

-5x - 25y = 25
<u>        +25   +25</u><u>
</u>          <u>-5x</u> = <u>50</u><u>
</u>            5      5
            x = 10
So the x for this equation is plotted on 10 on the horizontal line.

For the second part of the second equation, you will do the same thing as in the first equation.

-5x - 25y = 25
<u>+5               +5</u><u>
</u>       <u>-25y</u> = <u>30</u><u>
</u>        25      25
           y = 1.2
So the y for the second half of the second question is plotted on 1.2 on the vertical line.

<h2>Answer: B) Perpendicular</h2>

Perpendicular means the lines may or may not be of equal length and they will not be perfectly in line with each other.

Parallel means the lines may or may not be of equal length but will be perfectly in line with each other.

Intersecting means the lines may or may not be of equal length but will touch each other.

If a spring stretches 6 meters when a 7-kilogram weight is attached to it, how much will it stretch when a 42-kilogram weight is
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 This is a simple proportion problems.

7 kilogram weight attache to a spring stretches  = 6 meters

 1 kilogram would stretch                                       =  6/7 m

Therefore 42 kilograms would  stretch                  = (6/7 x 42)meters

                                                                                 =  36 meters.
