For this case we have the following expression:
 (-4a ^ -2 b ^ 4) / (8a ^ -6b ^ -3)
 We can rewrite the expression using properties of exponents.
 We have then:
 (-4/8) * ((a ^ (- 2 - (- 6))) (b ^ (4 - (- 3))))
 Rewriting we have:
 (-2/4) * ((a ^ (- 2 + 6)) (b ^ (4 + 3)))
 (-1/2) * ((a ^ 4) (b ^ 7))
 -1 / 2a ^ 4b ^ 7
 Answer:
 
The exponent of the variable b in Marina's solution should be 7

Which of the following pairs of numbers contain like fractions? A. 3 /2 and 2 /3 B. 6 /7 and 15 /7 C. 5 /6 and 10/12 D. 31 /2 and 43 /4
Solution 1
C. 5/6 and 10/12

If you simplify 10/12 but the greatest common factor of 10 and 12, which is 2, you get the answer of 5/6. Now if you multiple 5/6 by two, you get 10/12. Either way, both fractions are clearly equivalent.

Question
Find the sum of (3x^2+16x+9) and (-16x-12)
Solution 1
 (3x^2+16x+9) + (-16x-12)

Remove the brackets:
 =  3x^2+16x+9 -16x-12

Combine like terms:
 =  3x^2- 3

Take out common factor 3:
 =  3(x^2- 1)

Factorise (x² - 1):
 = 3(x-  1)( x+ 1)

Question
The football team is running a jackpot in which the prize will start at $2500 for the first game, and then increase $500 each game if there is no winner. If there are no winners, find the value of the jackpot at the end of their 16-game season.
Solution 1

The value of the jackpot at the end of the 16-game season will be $10,000.

What is an expression?

An expression contains one or more terms with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

We always combine the like terms in an expression when we simplify.

We also keep all the like terms on one side of the expression if we are dealing with two sides of an expression.

Example:

1 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

3 + 4 is an expression.

2 x 4 + 6 x 7 – 9 is an expression.

33 + 77 – 88 is an expression.

We have,

The jackpot prize starts at $2500 for the first game and increases by $500 for each game if there is no winner.

For the second game,

The prize will be $2500 + $500 = $3000.

For the third game,

The prize will be $3000 + $500 = $3500.

Continuing in this pattern, the prize for the 16th game will be:

$2500 + ($500 × 15)

= $2500 + $7500

= $10000

Therefore,

The value of the jackpot at the end of the 16-game season will be $10,000.

Question
Ms. Bergstedt asked two students to come up with two different sequences. Jay created this sequence: The first term is 4 and each term after the first is 6 more than the preceding term. Joe created this sequence: The first term is 8 and each term after the first term is 5 more than the preceding term. What is the value of the first term that they have in common?
Solution 1
Well, create an equation.


y=6x+4 and y=5x+8


From there you would go to Desmos.com and find out. The answer is 4,28.
This means it's the fourth term and the number is  28.
Question
A catapult launches a boulder with an upward velocity of 184 ft/s. The height of the boulder (h) in feet after t seconds is given by the function h= -16t^2 + 184t + 20. How long does it take the boulder to reach its maximum height? What is the boulder's maximum hieght
Solution 1
For this case we have the following equation:
 h = -16t ^ 2 + 184t + 20
 Deriving we have:
 h '= -32t + 184
 We equal zero and clear t:
 -32t + 184 = 0
 32t = 184
 t = 184/32
 t = 5.75 s
 Then, the maximum height is given by:
 h (5.75) = -16 * (5.75) ^ 2 + 184 * (5.75) + 20
 h (5.75) = 549 feet
 Answer:
 
It takes the boulder to reach its maximum height about:
 
t = 5.75 s
 
the boulder's maximum hieght is:
 
h (5.75) = 549 feet
Solution 2

Answer:

The answer should be C.

Question
A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 32 ft/s. Its height (h) in feet after t seconds is given by the function h= -16t^2 + 32t + 6. How long does it take the ball to reach its maximum height? What is the ball’s maximum height? Roun
Solution 1
For this case we have the following equation:
 h = -16t ^ 2 + 32t + 6
 Deriving we have:
 h '= -32t + 32
 We equal zero and clear t:
 -32t + 32 = 0
 32t = 32
 t = 32/32
 t = 1 s
 Then, the maximum height is given by:
 h (1) = -16 * (1) ^ 2 + 32 * (1) + 6
 h (1) = 22 feet
 Answer:
 
It takes the ball to reach its maximum height about:
 
t = 1 s
 
The ball's maximum height is:
 
h (1) = 22 feet
Question
Grant is rolling a standard six sided number die eight times. how many outcomes are possible
Solution 1

We have been given that Grant is rolling a standard six sided number die eight times and we have to find the total number of outcomes.

Grant is rolling six sided number die. Hence, we can say that

Number of outcomes if rolled once = 6

Number of outcomes if rolled twice = 6\times 6= 6^2

Number of outcomes if rolled thrice= 6\times 6 \times 6= 6^3

We can see that if rolled twice then we have exponent 2, when rolled trice then we have an exponent 3.

Hence, if rolled 8 times then we have an exponent 8 on 6.

Therefore, the possible number of outcomes should be 6^8= 1679616

Hence, the number of possible outcomes is 1679616

Solution 2
There are 1679616 possible outcomes.

There are 6 possible outcomes for each roll; 6^8 = 1679616
