Use the five properties of exponents to simplify each of the following expressions
1.
(y15)(y6) = y21 = y5
y16 y16
When one exponent is raised to another, you multiply the exponents; when two exponents are multiplied together, you add them; and when one exponent is divided by another, you subtract them.
Find the values of each of the following polynomials for the given values of the variable.
2. - 5x - 6, x = -3 and x = -2
-(-3)2 - 5(-3) - 6 = -9 + 15 - 6 = -15 + 15 = 0
-(-2)2 - 5(-4) - 6 = -4 + 20 - 6 = -10 + 20 = 10
3. What expressions raised to the fourth power is
Take the 4th root of all the terms involved:
81 = 34
x12 = (x3)4
y8 = (y2)4
z16 = (z4)4
So, the expression is equal to (3x3y2z4)4.
4. The cost in dollars of manufacturing w wing nuts is given by the expression 0.07w + 13.3. Find the cost when 375 wing nuts are made. What is the average cost to manufacture one wing nut.
Plug w = 375 into 0.07w + 13.3:
0.07(375) + 13.3 = 26.25 + 13.3 = 39.55
The average cost is the total price divided by the number of ...
