Simplify to a single power of 5: (5^4)^3

1 answer:

Vlada [557]1 year ago

Answer:

5^12

Step-by-step explanation:

This is called the "Power of Powers rule." When you are doing this rule, the inside exponent inside the parenthesis (the ^4 in this case) multiplies with the one outside the parenthesis, like this: 5^4*3 = 12.

However, if there is a base number next to the exponent <em>outside</em> the parenthesis that is a <em>different</em> number than the one inside the parenthesis, this method will not work. (Example: (5^4)5^3)

Important note: Anytime you are combining exponents through any rule, the base number must be the same to be able to combine.

If f(x) is an exponential function where f(-1.5) 26 and

mariarad [96]

Answer:

$f(10) = 1147.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(-1.5) = 26$

$f(5.5) = 7$

Required

f(10)

An exponential function is represented as:

$f(x) = ab^x$

$f(-1.5) = 26$ impleies that:

$26 = ab^{-1.5}$ --- (1)

$f(5.5) = 7$ implies that

$7 = ab^{5.5}$ --- (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

$26/7 = ab^{-1.5}/ab^{5.5}$

$3.71429 = b^{-1.5+5.5}$

$3.71429 = b^{4}$

Take 4th root

$b = 1.39$

Substitute $b = 1.39$ in $26 = ab^{-1.5}$

$26 = a * 1.39^{-1.5}$

$26 = a * 0.6102$

Solve for (a)

$a = 26/0.6102$

$a = 42.61$

f(10) is calculated as:

$f(10) = ab^{10}$

$f(10) = 42.61 * 1.39^{10}$

$f(10) = 1147.25$

You have been asked to design a can shaped like right circular cylinder that can hold a volume of 432π-cm3. What dimensions of t

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

$Height = 12cm$

$Radius = 6cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent volume with v, height with h and radius with r

$V = 432\pi$

Required

Determine the values of h and r that uses the least amount of material

Volume is calculated as:

$V = \pi r^2h\\$

Substitute 432π for V

$432\pi = \pi r^2h$

Divide through by π

$432 = r^2h$

Make h the subject:

$h = \frac{432}{r^2}$

Surface Area (A) of a cylinder is calculated as thus:

$A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$

Substitute $\frac{432}{r^2}$ for h in $A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$

$A=2\pi r(\frac{432}{r^2})+2\pi r^2$

$A=2\pi (\frac{432}{r})+2\pi r^2$

Factorize:

$A=2\pi (\frac{432}{r} + r^2)$

To minimize, we have to differentiate both sides and set $A' = 0$

$A'=2\pi (-\frac{432}{r^2} + 2r)$

Set $A' = 0$

$0=2\pi (-\frac{432}{r^2} + 2r)$

Divide through by $2\pi$

$0= -\frac{432}{r^2} + 2r$

$\frac{432}{r^2} = 2r$

Cross Multiply

$2r * r^2 = 432$

$2r^3 = 432$

Divide through by 2

$r^3 = 216$

Take cube roots of both sides

$r = \sqrt[3]{216}$

$r = 6$

Recall that:

$h = \frac{432}{r^2}$

$h = \frac{432}{6^2}$

$h = \frac{432}{36}$

$h = 12$

Hence, the dimension that requires the least amount of material is when

$Height = 12cm$

$Radius = 6cm$
