Answer:

a = 36 , b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

expand the right side using FOIL and compare coefficients with like terms on left side.

(x - b)²

= x² - 2bx + b² , compare to x² - 12x + a , then

- 2b = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

b = 6

and a = b² = 6² = 36

Help me get the anwser to this Equation

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The answer depends on x.value

Step-by-step explanation:

I. It's linear equation

y = mx + b

when y is output, x is input, m is slope and b is addition

So if x = -1

y = -4/3(-1) - 2

= 4/3 - 2

= (4-6)/3

y = -2/3

It will be something like this (-1, -2/3) when -1 is x.value, -2/3 is y.value

You can given x.value be anything like 0, 1, 2, 3 the graph will be like this

The volume of a rectangular prism is 270 cubic centimeters the height of the prism is 5 centimeters. What could the length and w

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Volume = 270 cm³

height = 5 cm

length = ?

width = ?

Formula

Volume of a rectangular prism = height x length x width

- Solve for Area of the base (height x length)

Area of the base = Volume / height

-Substitution

Area of the base = 270 / 5

-Result

Area of the base = 54 m²

2.- Find the prime factors of 54

54 2

27 3

9 3

3 3

3.- The possible values of the sidas of the rectangle are:

Combining the prime factor of 54.

Length Width

2 x 3 = 6 and 3 x 3 = 9

or 2 x 3 x 3 = 18 and 3 x 1 = 3

or 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 and 2 x 1 = 2

This is really confusing me:<br> Simplify so that your answers contain only positive exponents.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

For simplifying expressions of this sort, there are four rules of exponents that come into play;

$a^ba^c=a^{b+c}\\\\(ab)^c=a^cb^c\\\\(a^b)^c=a^{bc}\\\\\dfrac{1}{a^b}=a^{-b}\ \quad\text{which means}\quad a^b=\dfrac{1}{a^{-b}}$

I find it convenient to eliminate the fractions by adding the exponents, then rewrite any negative exponents as denominator factors.

$23. \quad\dfrac{1}{x^{-2}}=x^2\\\\24. \quad\dfrac{mn}{m^2n^3}=m^{1-2}n^{1-3}=m^{-1}n^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{mn^2}\\\\25. \quad\dfrac{k^{-2}}{k^{-3}}=k^{-2-(-3)}=k\\\\26. \quad\left(\dfrac{m^2}{n^3}\right)^3=\dfrac{m^{2\cdot 3}}{n^{3\cdot 3}}=\dfrac{m^6}{n^9}\\\\27. \quad\dfrac{x^2y^3z^4}{x^{-3}y^{-4}z^{-5}}=x^{2-(-3)}y^{3-(-4)}z^{4-(-5)}=x^5y^7z^9$
