.
.
We now rewrite the right hand side too in an index form to obtain;

We now equate the exponents to get;
.

.
<u>QUESTION 2</u>
The second sentence is 
We simplify the left hand side first to get;


We now rewrite the left hand side too in index form to obtain;

We equate the exponents to get;

This implies that;

or

Answer:
Not independent
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of single bedroom apartments is 90;
The number of single occupants in that 90 is 64;
64/90 or 32/45 is the rate that a single occupant lives in a 1 bedroom apartment.
The number of multiple bedroom apartments is 110;
The number of single occupants in that 110 is 12;
12/110 or 6/55 is the rate that a single occupant lives in a multiple-bedroom apartment.
The rate of single occupants in any type of apartment is 76/200 or 19/50
32/45>19/50>6/55; since the rate of single occupants in 1 bedroom apartments is higher than the rate of single occupants living in any type of apartment and a multiple-room apartment, the event that an apartment has 1 bedroom and 1 occupant is not indepenent.
Step 1 :
(23 x 2 - 5) • x 3
Step 2 :
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
Factoring: 8 x 2-5
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Answer:
(8 x 2 - 5) • x 3
