Answer:

<h3>AC=96 units.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a parallelogram ABCD with diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.

$AE=x^2-16.$ , and CE=6x .

<em>Note: The diagonals of a parallelogram intersects at mid-point.</em>

Therefore, AE = EC.

Plugging expressions for AE and EC, we get

$x^2-16=6x.$

Subtracting 6x from both sides, we get

$x^2-16-6x=6x-6x$

$x^2-6x-16=0$

Factoriong quadratic by product sum rule.

We need to find the factors of -16 that add upto -6.

-16 has factors -8 and +2 that add upto -6.

Therefore, factor of $x^2-6x-16=0$ quadratic is (x-8)(x+2)=0

Setting each factor equal to 0 and solve for x.

x-8=0 => x=8

x+2=0 => x=-2.

We can't take x=-2 as it's a negative number.

Therefore, plugging x=8 in EC =6x, we get

EC = 6(8) = 48.

<h3>AC = AE + EC = 48+48 =96 units.</h3>

Jim's work evaluating 2 (three-fifths) cubed is shown below. 2 (three-fifths) cubed = 2 (StartFraction 3 cubed Over 5 EndFractio

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$2(\frac{3}{5}) ^{3}=2(\frac{3^3}{5^3})$ and not $2(\frac{3}{5}) ^{3}=2(\frac{3^3}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim's work evaluating $2(\frac{3}{5}) ^{3}$ is shown:

$2(\frac{3}{5}) ^{3}=2(\frac{3^3}{5})=2(\frac{3X3X3}{5})=2(\frac{27}{5})=\frac{54}{5}$

If you look at the Second step, the exponent is taken over only the numerator. It should have been taken over both the numerator and denominator as shown below.

$2(\frac{3}{5}) ^{3}=2(\frac{3^3}{5^3})$

The correct workings therefore is:

$2(\frac{3}{5}) ^{3}=2(\frac{3^3}{5^3})=2(\frac{3X3X3}{5X5X5})=2(\frac{27}{125})=\frac{54}{125}$

Rewrite each expression as a product of two or quotient of two powers

Paul [167]

Answer:

The product is $5^{40}*3^{70}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this we must understand how the basic operations apply to powers. If the power has the same base and we multiply them, the base remains the same while we sum the powers, if we divide them the base remains the same and we subtract the powers, if we try to make a power of a power the two powers multiply. Applying this rule we have:

$(\frac{5^8*3^7}{5^4})^{10}\\(\frac{5^8}{5^4}*3^7)^{10}\\(5^4*3^7)^{10}\\5^{40}*3^{70}$

A circular backyard pool has a diameter of 26 feet and is 4 feet deep. One cubic foot of water has a capacity of approximately 7

klasskru [66]

Find the water volume of the pool. The formula for a vertical cylinder is V = pi*r^2*h, which here is V = pi(13 ft)^2*(4 ft) = 676*pi cubic feet.

Now convert this 676 cu. ft. to gallons:

Mult (676*pi cu ft) by the conversion factor (7.48 gal) / (1 cu ft):

676*pi cu ft 7.48 gal
--------------- * ------------- = 5056*pi gallons (rounded down from 5056.48 pi)
1 1 cu ft

The cost of filling the pool will be

5056.48*pi gallons $3
--------------------------- * ------------- = $48 (to the nearest dollar)
1 1000 gal

Hailey paid \$13$13dollar sign, 13 for 1\dfrac3{7} \text{ kg}1 7 3 kg1, start fraction, 3, divided by, 7, end fraction, start

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

1kg of salami cost $9.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hailey paid $13 for 1 3/7 kg of sliced salami.

What was the cost per kilogram of salami?

Cost of 1 3/7 kg of sliced salami=$13

1 3/7 kg=10/7kg

Let x=1 kg of sliced salami

10/7 kg of x=$13

$13=10/7x

13=10/7*x

x=13 ÷ 10/7

=13×7/10

=91/10

=9.1

x=$9.1

Therefore, 1kg of salami cost $9.1
