The right answer is:

C. The grouping of the factors is changed, but the product is the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement is:

(3 × 4) × 6 = 3 × (4 × 6)

The properties that are applied on statements are commutative, associative and distributive.

Out of these, associative property states that the grouping of three factors can change but the end product will remain the same

i.e.

(a*b)*c = a * (b*c)

So for the given statement,

The right answer is:

C. The grouping of the factors is changed, but the product is the same.

The expressions 10/12(245b−365) and 2/3(3b+6) represent the lengths of the diagonals of parallelogram WXYZ. For what value of b

makkiz [27]

Answer:

b = 1.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of diagonals of a parallelogram = $\frac{10}{12}(245b - 365)$ and $\frac{2}{3}(3b+6)$

If the given parallelogram is a rectangle,

Length of the diagonals will be equal in measure,

Therefore, $\frac{10}{12}(245b - 365)=\frac{2}{3}(3b+6)$

245b - 365 = $\frac{12}{10}\times \frac{2}{3}(3b+6)$

245b - 365 = $\frac{4}{5}(3b+6)$

5(245b - 365) = 4(3b + 6)

1225b - 1825 = 12b + 24

1225b - 12b = 24 + 1825

1213b = 1849

b = $\frac{1849}{1213}$

b = 1.52

Can someone please help me with my maths question

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

$a. \ \dfrac{625 \cdot m}{27 \cdot n^{11}}$

$b. \ \dfrac{x^{3 \cdot m - 2}}{y^{ 3 + n}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates with rules of indices

(a) The give expression is presented as follows;

$\dfrac{m^3 \times \left (n^{-2} \right )^4 \times (5 \cdot m)^4}{\left (3 \cdot m^2 \cdot n \right )^3}$

By expanding the expression, we get;

$\dfrac{m^3 \times n^{-8} \times 5^4 \times m^4}{\left 3^3 \times m^6 \times n^3}$

Collecting like terms gives;

$\dfrac{m^{(3 + 4 - 6)} \times 5^4}{ 3^3 \times n^{3 + 8}} = \dfrac{625 \cdot m}{27 \cdot n^{11}}$

$\dfrac{m^3 \times \left (n^{-2} \right )^4 \times (5 \cdot m)^4}{\left (3 \cdot m^2 \cdot n \right )^3}= \dfrac{625 \cdot m}{27 \cdot n^{11}}$

(b) The given expression is presented as follows;

$x^{3 \cdot m + 2} \times \left (y^{n - 1} \right )^3 \div (x \cdot y^n)^4$

Therefore, we get;

$x^{3 \cdot m + 2} \times \left (y^{n - 1} \right )^3 \times x^{-4} \times y^{-4 \cdot n}$

Collecting like terms gives;

$x^{3 \cdot m + 2 - 4} \times \left (y^{3 \cdot n - 3 -4 \cdot n}} \right ) = x^{3 \cdot m - 2} \times \left (y^{ - 3 -n}} \right ) = x^{3 \cdot m - 2} \div \left (y^{ 3 + n}} \right )$

$x^{3 \cdot m - 2} \div \left (y^{ 3 + n}} \right ) = \dfrac{x^{3 \cdot m - 2}}{y^{ 3 + n}}$

$x^{3 \cdot m + 2} \times \left (y^{n - 1} \right )^3 \times x^{-4} \times y^{-4 \cdot n} =\dfrac{x^{3 \cdot m - 2}}{y^{ 3 + n}}$

Find a polynomial function of least degree having only real coefficients, a leading coefficient of 1, and roots of 2-√6 , 2+ √6

horsena [70]

Answer:

$x^{4} -18x^{3}+104x^{2} -172x-100$

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 roots are given out of which 2 are real and 1 is imaginary. For a polynomial of least degree having real coefficients, it must have a complex conjugate root as the 4th root. Therefore, based on 4 roots, the least degree of polynomial will be 4. Finding the polynomial having leading coefficient=1 and solving it based on multiplication of 2 quadratic polynomials, we get:

$\\\\x_{1} = 2-\sqrt{6} \\x_{2} = 2+\sqrt{6} \\x_{3}=7-i \\x_{4}=7+i \\\\P(x)=1(x-x_{1})(x-x_{2} )(x-x_{3} )(x-x_{4} ) \\\\=(x-(2-\sqrt{6}))( x-(2+\sqrt{6} )) (x-(7-i))( x-(7+i))\\=((x-2)+\sqrt{6})( ( x-2)-\sqrt{6} ) ((x-7)+i)( (x-7)-i)\\=((x-2)^{2} -(\sqrt{6} )^{2} )((x-7)^{2}-(i)^{2})\\=(x^{2} -4x-2)(x^{2} -14x+50)\\=x^{4} -18x^{3}+104x^{2} -172x-100\\$
