Communicate Mathematical Ideas Why do you subtract exponents

Mathematics
1 answer:
zysi [14]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

We subtract exponents when diving powers with the same base because they eventually get canceled out when written in expanded form.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if we expand the given fractions:

10^3/10^1 = 1000/10 = 100 = 10^2

Now, if we subtract the exponents we get the same result.

10^3-1 = 10^2

So, a^m/a^n = a^m-

n is one of the exponent rules which saves time and makes calculation easier.

sergey [27]

Answer:

(a) $60

(b) $180

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 table lamp be t.

Then the price of a fan is 3t.

2(3t) + 3t = 540

6t + 3t = 540

9t = 540

t = 60

A table lamp costs $60.

3($60) = $180

A fan costs $180.

Answer:

option D

Step-by-step explanation:

x^{2} + y^{2} = 16\\\\x^{2} = 16- y^{2}

equation 2:

\frac{x^{2}}{4} - \frac{y^{2}}{25} = 1

so we have:

\frac{16- y^{2} }{4}-\frac{y^{2}}{25}= 1
