Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use exponent rules to try and simplify this expression down.
Exponent rules tell us that 
.
This means that since we have the same base on both terms (7 and 7), we can add the exponents to get a simplified expression.
So our simplified expression is 
.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
34
9 + 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define expression
a² + b²
a = 3
b = 5
Step 2: Substitute
3² + 5²
Step 3: Evaluate
9 + 25
34
There should be 1,400 pages in an order that costs the same for both companies.
Let x be the unknown number of pages.
1st Company = 42 + 0.05x
2nd Company = 0.08x
0.08x = 42 + 0.05x
0.08x - 0.05x = 42
0.03x = 42
0.03x / 0.03 = 42 / 0.03
x = 1400 pages
To check
0.08x = 42 + 0.05x
0.08 (1400) = 42 + (0.05 * 1400)
112 = 42 + 70
112 = 112
As we travel from (-2, p) to (2, 2p+1), x increases by 4 and y increases by p+1. Note that -2 + 4 = 2 (which is correct), and that p + (p+1) = 2p+1 (which is also correct).
p+1
Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -------- = 9
4
Then p + 1 = 36, and p = 35.
