Communicate Mathematical Ideas Why do you subtract exponents

Mathematics
1 answer:
zysi [14]3 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.

Will the value of the expression 20−x increase, decrease, or stay the same as x increases? Explain.
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 20 - x.

The value of x determines if the value of the expression would increase, decrease or stay the same. When the value of x decreases, the value of 20 - x increases. When the value of x increases, the value of 20 - x decreases. And when the value of x does not change, 20 - x remains the same.

When greater values of x is subtracted from 20, you will have lower value left. Therefore, as x increases, the value of the expression 20 - x will decrease.

Find the measures of each numbered angles
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

∠ 1 = 109° , ∠ 2 = 29° , ∠ 3 = 71°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , then

∠ 1 + 35° + 36° = 180°

∠ 1 + 71° = 180° ( subtract 71° from both sides )

∠ 1 = 109°

-------------------

∠ RVU and ∠ 1 are adjacent angles on a straight line and sum to 180° , then

∠ RVU + ∠ 1 = 180°

∠ RVU + 109° = 180° ( subtract 109° from both sides )

∠ RVU = 71°

In Δ RVU

∠ 2 + 80° + 71° = 180° ( sum of angles in triangle )

∠ 2 + 151° = 180° ( subtract 151° from both sides )

∠ 2 = 29°

-------------------------

∠ 3 and ∠ RVU are vertically opposite angles and are congruent , then

∠ 3 = 71°
