    7 times the cube of the sum of x and 8

    7 times the cube of the sum of x and 8 Take this algebraic expression in 3 parts: The sum of x and 8 means we add 8 to x: x + 8 The cube of this sum means we raise the sum to the 3rd power: (x + 8)^3 7 times this cubed sum means we multiply (x + 8)^3 by 7: 7(x + 8)^3

    A boat costs 14950 and decrease in value by 7% per year how much will the boat be worth after 8 yea

    A boat costs 14950 and decrease in value by 7% per year how much will the boat be worth after 8 years? If a boat decreases in value 7% in value, then our new value each year is 100% - 7% = 93%. So we have a B(y) function where B(y) is the value of the boat after y years: B(y) = 14,950 * (1 -...

    4 times of the sum of the cubes of x and y

    4 times of the sum of the cubes of x and y The cube of x means we raise x to the 3rd power: x^3 The cube of y means we raise y to the 3rd power: y^3 The sum of the cubes means we add: x^3 + y^3 4 times the sum of the cubes: 4(x^3 + y^3)

    If a, b, and c are positive integers such that a^b = x and c^b = y, then xy = ?

    If a, b, and c are positive integers such that a^b = x and c^b = y, then xy = ? A) ac^b B) ac^2b C) (ac)^b D) (ac)^2b E) (ac)^b^2 xy = a^b * c^b We can use the Power of a Product Rule a^b * c^b = (ac)^b Therefore: xy = (ac)^b - Answer C

    Given f = cd^3, f = 450, and d = 10, what is c?

    Given f = cd^3, f = 450, and d = 10, what is c? A) 0.5 B) 4.5 C) 15 D) 45 E) 150 Plugging in our numbers, we get: c(10)^3 = 450 Since 10^3 = 1000, we have: 1000c = 450 Typing this equation into our search engine, we get: c = 0.45 Answer B

    Which of the following is equivalent to 9^3/4?

    Which of the following is equivalent to 9^3/4? a) 9^1/3 b) 9 ^ 1/4 c) sqrt(3) d) 3 * sqrt(3) Since 9 is 3^2, we have 3^(3*2/4) which is 3^6/4 Since 6/4 is 3/2, we have: 3^(3/2) Since 3/2 is 1 + 1/2, we have: 3^1*sqrt(3) 3*sqrt(3) or option D.

    If 3x - y = 12, what is the value of 8^x/2^y

    If 3x - y = 12, what is the value of 8^x/2^y We know 8 = 2^3 So using a rule of exponents, we have: (2^3)^x/2^y 2^(3x)/2^y Using another rule of exponents, we rewrite this fraction as: 2^(3x -y) We're given 3x - y = 12, so we have: 2^12
