#3: Typo? I get 13xy
#5:
-2x^4y^7 / x^5 = -2y^7/x
Now cube that. And watch that - sign
To simplify the expressions:
1. To simplify 5√6 - √24, first, we need to find the square root of 6 and 24. The square root of 6 is not a perfect square, so it cannot be simplified further. However, the square root of 24 can be simplified. The square root of 24 can be written as the square root of 4 times 6, which is 2√6. Now we can substitute these values into the expression: 5√6 - √24 = 5√6 - 2√6 = (5 - 2)√6 = 3√6.
2. To evaluate 3y + 5xy - x for x = 4 and y = 2, substitute the given values into the expression: 3(2) + 5(4)(2) - 4 = 6 + 40 - 4 = 42.
3. To simplify 3x(5y + 4) - 2xy - 10x + 6x^2, use the distributive property to remove the parentheses: 3x * 5y + 3x * 4 - 2xy - 10x + 6x^2 = 15xy + 12x - 2xy - 10x + 6x^2. Simplify by combining like terms: 15xy - 2xy + 12x - 10x + 6x^2 = (15 - 2)xy + (12 - 10)x + 6x^2 = 13xy + 2x + 6x^2 = 3xy + 2x +6x^2.
4. To evaluate 5^-3, remember that a negative exponent means to take the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. In this case, 5^-3 = 1/5^3 = 1/125.
5. To simplify ((-2x^4y^7)/(x^5))^3, first simplify the numerator and denominator separately. In the numerator, -2x^4y^7, the variable x has an exponent of 4, which cancels out with the x^5 in the denominator. Simplify the numerator: -2x^4y^7 / x^5 = -2y^7 / x. Now we raise this fraction to the power of 3: (-2y^7 / x)^3 = (-2)^3(y^7)^3 / x^3 = -8y^21 / x^3. Simplify further: -8y^21 / x^3 = -(8y^21) / (x^3) = (8y^21) / (-x^3) = -(8y^21) / (x^3), or alternatively, (8y^21) / (-(x^3)). Hence, the simplified form is (2x^3) / (y^21).
