Can you check these and if I get some wrong will you help me solve them or explain them to me? Thanks!
you can easily check your work by typing in your expressions at
wolframalpha.com
It will show how they can be simplified, and much other information as well.
I did, but not the information I needed
Jazmin what you could do is just look them up and find the answer that's the closest
when I looked them up it gave me answers that aren't in your choices so idk
Certainly! I'll check your answers and provide explanations for each question.
1. Simplify: 3x^2 + 5x - 5x^2 - 4x + 5 - 2
To simplify, combine like terms. Start by combining the x^2 terms:
(3x^2 - 5x^2) + 5x - 4x + 5 - 2
-2x^2 + x + 3
So, the correct answer is C. -2x^2 - 9x + 3.
2. Add or Subtract: (8x – 2y) + (3x – 4y)
To add or subtract, combine like terms. Group the x terms and the y terms together:
(8x + 3x) + (-2y - 4y)
11x - 6y
So, the correct answer is C. 11x - 6y.
3. Simplify: (5x^2 - 4x - 1) - (-4x^2 - 4)
To simplify, distribute the negative sign inside the parenthesis:
5x^2 - 4x - 1 + 4x^2 + 4
Combine the like terms:
(5x^2 + 4x^2) + (-4x) + (-1 + 4)
9x^2 - 4x + 3
So, the correct answer is B. 9x^2 - 4x + 3.
4. The distance from Newtown to Old town on the highway is (6x^2 + 2x – 2) miles. Using the back roads, the distance is (5x^2 – 8x – 6) miles. How many miles shorter is the second route?
To find the difference between the distances, you need to subtract the second route from the first route:
(6x^2 + 2x – 2) - (5x^2 – 8x – 6)
Remove the parentheses and combine like terms:
6x^2 + 2x - 2 - 5x^2 + 8x + 6
(x^2 + 10x + 4) miles
So, the correct answer is C. x^2 + 10x + 4 miles.
5. Write the expression using a single exponent: 7^5 * 7^6
When multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, you add the exponents:
7^(5 + 6) = 7^11
So, the correct answer is D. 7^11.
6. Simplify: 6^a * 6^v
When multiplying two exponential expressions with the same base, you add the exponents:
6^(a + v)
So, the correct answer is A. 6^(a + v).
7. Simplify: 2^8 / 2^7
When dividing exponential expressions with the same base, you subtract the exponents:
2^(8 - 7) = 2^1 = 2
So, the correct answer is A. 2.
8. Simplify: x^56 / x^24
When dividing exponential expressions with the same base, you subtract the exponents:
x^(56 - 24) = x^32
So, the correct answer is C. x^32.
9. Write the result in scientific notation: (9 * 10^4) * (8 * 10^6)
To multiply numbers in scientific notation, multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:
(9 * 8) * 10^(4 + 6) = 72 * 10^10 = 7.2 * 10^11
So, the correct answer is D. 1.7 * 10^25.
10. Simplify the expression: (-8x) * 3x^2
Multiply the coefficients and add the exponents of x:
-8 * 3 * x * x^2 = -24x^3
So, the correct answer is C. -24x^3.
11. Simplify: (-11z)^0
Any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1:
(-11z)^0 = 1
So, the correct answer is B. 1.
12. Simplify: 14^-4
To simplify negative exponents, take the reciprocal and remove the negative sign:
14^-4 = 1/14^4
So, the correct answer is A. 1 / 14^4.
Overall, you did a great job! Keep practicing and you'll improve your skills in math. Let me know if you have any more questions!
