Hello, is it possible to show me the steps to simplify this problem? I don't understand the solution provided in my textbook.
Answers
Explanation
We are asked to simplify the given question
[tex](\frac{75d^{\frac{18}{5}}}{3d^{\frac{3}{5}}})^{\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]To simplify the terms, we will follow the steps below
Step 1: simplify the terms in the bracket using the exponential rule
Thus for the terms in the parentheses
[tex](\frac{75d^{\frac{18}{5}}}{3d^{\frac{3}{5}}})=\frac{75}{3}\times d^{\frac{18}{5}-\frac{3}{5}}[/tex]Hence
[tex]25\times d^{\frac{18-3}{5}}=25d^{\frac{15}{5}}=25d^3[/tex]Simplifying further
[tex]25d^3=25d^3[/tex]Step 2: substitute the value obtained above in step 1 into the parentheses, so that
[tex](\frac{75d^{18\/5}}{3d^{3\/5}})^{\frac{5}{2}}=(25d^3)^{\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]Step 3: Simplify further, we will apply the rule
so that
[tex](25d^3)^{\frac{5}{2}}=25^{\frac{5}{2}}d^{3\times\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]Simplifying further
[tex]\begin{gathered} we\text{ will have} \\ \sqrt{25^5}\times d^{\frac{15}{2}}=3125d^{\frac{15}{2}} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, our final answer is
[tex]3125d^{\frac{15}{2}}[/tex]

2 ABC Company has a large piece of equipmentthat cost $85,600 when it was first purchased 6years ago. The current value of the equipment is$30,400. What is the average depreciation of theequipment per year?F. $ 5,800G. $ 9,200H. $15,200J. $27,600K. $42,800
Answers
The intial cost of the equipment is C, which is given as 85,600.
The present value is PV, which is given as 30,400.
This simply means the total depreciation over the last 6 years can be derived as;
Depreciation = C - PV
Depreciation = 85600 - 30400
Depreciation = 55200
However, the method of depreciation is not given/specified, and hence the question requires that you calculate the average depreciation per year. That is, the total depreciation would be evenly spread over the 6 year period (which assumes that the depreciation per year is the same figure)
Average depreciation = Total depreciation/6
Average Depreciation = 55200/6
Average Depreciation = 9200
The correct option is option G: $ 9,200

Answers
The different sizes of the given brands are
Frozen orange juice:
$1.57 for 14 ounces
$0.57 for 4 ounces
The unit price of a frozen orange juice which costs $1.57 for 14 ounces is
1.57/14 = 0.112
The unit price of a frozen orange juice which costs $0.57 for 4 ounces is
0.57/4 = 0.1425
The better buy is the size that has the lowest cost per ounce. Looking at our calculations, the lowest cost per ounce is $0.112
Therefore, the frozen orange juice which costs $1.57 for 14 ounces is the better buy.

Answer:
2. 13/3
Step-by-step explanation:
x will be equal to 13/3.
Given,
5^(2x - 1) = 5^(5x - 14)
We can see that base is the same for both the exponents on each side of the equation.
Now, on using the Logarithm on both sides with base 5, we can see that the base on both sides of the equation cancels out with the log (base 5) function.
And new equation becomes:
(2x - 1) = (5x - 14)
This derives us to another conclusion that if the base of an exponent is equal then,
the powers must be equal too.
(2x - 1) = (5x - 14)
=> 5x - 2x = -1 + 14
=> 3x = 13
which gives us,
=> x = 13/3.
Therefore x = 13/3.

To find the focus of the parabola.
Step-by-step solution:
The general equation of a parabola can be given as,
[tex](y-k)^2=4p(x-h)[/tex]Comparing the general equation of a parabola with the given equation of a parabola, we have
4p = -4
∴ p = -4/4 = -1

h = 3
k = 7
Since h ± c = F
We have,
3 - 1 = 2
Therefore, the focus will be (h ± c, k) = (2, 7)

If the first number is 2. The last number is 18. The sequence of five numbers will be 2,6,10,14,18.
What is a sequence?It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.
Divergent sequences are those in which the terms never stabilize; instead, they constantly increase or decrease as n approaches infinity, approaching either infinity or -infinity.
It is given that, the first number is 2 and the last number is 18,
a = 2
L=18
n=5
a₅=5
a₅=a+(5-1)d
18=2+4d
4d = 18-2
4d = 16
d= 16 / 4
d=4
The terms of the sequence are,
a₁=2
a₂=2+4=6
a₃=6+4=10
a₄=10+4=14

∠1 is 31.5°

The measure of ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary angles.
First, the value of x can be calculated as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \angle1+\angle2=180\degree \\ 5x-9+x=180\degree \\ 6x-9=180\degree \\ 6x=180+9 \\ 6x=189 \\ x=\frac{189}{6} \\ x=31.5 \\ x=\angle1 \end{gathered}[/tex]Substitute the value of x in ∠2.

A boy goes to school by first taking a bus for 1 3/4 km and then by walking 1/3 km. Find the distance of his house from the school.
Answers
The boy goes to school by bus for 1 3/4km, then he walks 1/3 km.
To determine the total distance he traveled you have to add both distances:
[tex]1\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{3}[/tex]To solve this sum, add the fractions first and then add the result to the whole number:
- Add both fractions:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{3}[/tex]To add both fractions you have to express them using the same denominator first. A common multiple between the denominators "4" and "3" is "12". Multiply the first fraction by 3 and the second by 4 to express them as their equivalent fractions with denominator 12. Then proceed to add them:
[tex]\frac{3\cdot3}{4\cdot3}+\frac{1\cdot4}{3\cdot4}=\frac{9}{12}+\frac{4}{12}=\frac{9+4}{12}=\frac{13}{12}[/tex]The result is 13/12, as you can see the numerator is greater than the denominator, which indicates that this is an improper fraction, i.e. its value is greater than 1. You can write this fraction as a mixed number as follows:
- Solve the division:
[tex]13\div12=1.08\bar{3}[/tex]The mixed number will have the whole number "1".
- To express the decimal value as a fraction, multiply it by 12
[tex]0.08\bar{3}\cdot12=1[/tex]The result is the numerator of the fraction, and the denominator will be 12, so:
[tex]0.08\bar{3}=\frac{1}{12}[/tex]And the resulting mixed number is:
[tex]\frac{13}{12}=1\frac{1}{12}[/tex]Finally, add the remaining whole number from the first sum to determine the distance between his house and the school:
[tex]1+1\frac{1}{12}=2\frac{1}{12}[/tex]The distance he traveled from home to school is 2 1/12 km.
Solve the following inequality: 6p - 15 < 33
Answers
WE are to solve an inequality, so we proceed to isolate the variable "p" on one side of the inequality symbol:
6 p - 15 < 33
we add 15 to both sides:
6 p < 33 + 15
6 p < 48
now divide both sides by 6 (notice that since 6 is a positive number, the division doesn't change the direction of the inequality)
p < 48/6
p < 8
So we need to highlight on the number line, the line that starts at "8" and goes all the way to the left (to minus infinity), and make sure that at the point "8" you draw an "empty" circle to indicate that the number 8 itself is NOT included in your set of solutions.

Grace bought 3 slices of cheese pizza and 2 slices of mushroom pizza for a total cost of $8.50.
3c + 2m = 8.50
We have the system of equations:
3c + 4 m = 12.50 (a)
3c + 2m = 8.50 (b)
Subtract (b) to (a) to eliminate c
3c + 4m = 12.50
-
3c + 2m = 8.50
_____________
2m = 4
Solve for m:
m = 4/2
m=2
The cost of one slice of mushroom pizza is $2
