There are two ways you can go about this: I'll explain both ways.
<span>
</span><span>Solution 1: Using logarithmic properties
</span>The first way is to use logarithmic properties.

We can take the natural logarithm to all three terms to utilise our exponents.

Hence, ln2ᵃ = ln5ᵇ = ln10ⁿ becomes:
aln2 = bln5 = nln10.

What's so neat about ln10 is that it's ln(5·2).
Using our logarithmic rule (log(ab) = log(a) + log(b),
we can rewrite it as aln2 = bln5 = n(ln2 + ln5)

Since it's equal (given to us), we can let it all equal to another variable "c".

So, c = aln2 = bln5 = n(ln2 + ln5) and the reason why we do this, is so that we may find ln2 and ln5 respectively.

c = aln2; ln2 = \frac{c}{a}
c = bln5; ln5 = \frac{c}{b}

Hence, c = n(ln2 + ln5) = n(\frac{c}{a} + \frac{c}{b})
Factorise c outside on the right hand side.

c = cn(\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b})
1 = n(\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b})
\frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b}

\frac{1}{n} = \frac{a + b}{ab}
and thus, n = \frac{ab}{a + b}

<span>Solution 2: Using exponent rules
</span>In this solution, we'll be taking advantage of exponents.

So, let c = 2ᵃ = 5ᵇ = 10ⁿ
Since c = 2ᵃ, 2 = \sqrt[a]{c} = c^{\frac{1}{a}}

Then, 5 = c^{\frac{1}{b}}
and 10 = c^{\frac{1}{n}}

But, 10 = 5·2, so 10 = c^{\frac{1}{b}}·c^{\frac{1}{a}}
∴ c^{\frac{1}{n}} = c^{\frac{1}{b}}·c^{\frac{1}{a}}

\frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b}
and n = \frac{ab}{a + b}

Question 4 of 5
Alex787 [66]

The data set that has a variation, or mean absolute deviation, similar to the data set in the given dot plot is; Option D

<h3>How to Interpret Dot Plots?</h3>

The given dot plots options are as seen in the attached brainly link.

Now, the sample dot plot shows a total of 10 dots with 3 dots on 52, 2 dots on 53, 1 dots each on 54, 55, 56, 57, 58.

Looking at the options, the only one that represents the variation, or mean absolute deviation of the given sample is Option D.

Which algebraic expression is a polynomial? Which term could be put in the blank to create a fully simplified polynomial written
kifflom [539]

Answer:

x^3y and  x^2y^2

Step-by-step explanation:

An algebraic expression is a polynomial if and only if the variables involve have positive integral indices or exponents.

The given polynomial is: 8x^3y^2----------+3xy^2

We want to put one of the following polynomials in the blank space to create a fully simplified polynomial written in standard form.

-4y^3

x^2y^2

x^3y

7x^2y

7x^0y^3

A fully simplified polynomial written in standard form is obtained by writing the simplified polynomial in decreasing order according to degree.

Since the first term of  8x^3y^2----------+3xy^2 having a degree of 5 and the last term is having a degree of 3.

The polynomial that goes into the blank must have a degree of 4.

This eliminates -4y^3, 7x^2y

and 7x^0y^3

We are now left with x^2y^2 and x^3y

The required polynomial is therefore 8x^3y^2-x^2y^2+3xy^2 or8x^3y^2-x^3y+3xy^2

These two polynomials are in standard form and cannot be simplified further.

The correct choices are;

x^3y and  x^2y^2
