Rational & Irrational Numbers Unit Test the equation (7 ^ -4 * 7 ^ 3)/(sqrt(49)) = 7 true or false? Select the response that correctly answers the question and provides the appropriate justification Truebecause the Product Property makes the numerator and the denominator . The answer should be negative since the exponents are negative False When applying the Quotient Property, the is not 1 True, because the Quotient Property gives a exponent of
False.
The equation can be simplified as follows:
(7^-4 * 7^3)/(sqrt(49))
Using the Product Property of exponents, we can combine the exponents:
7^(-4 + 3)/(sqrt(49))
Simplifying further:
7^-1/(sqrt(49))
Using the Quotient Property of exponents, we can change the sign of the exponent:
1/7/(sqrt(49))
Simplifying further:
1/7/7
Which is equal to:
1/49
So, the equation is false.
Explain how 1/7/7 is 1/49?
Apologies for the error in my previous response.
To clarify, when dividing by a fraction, we can multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.
In the expression 1/7/7, we can rewrite it as:
1/7 * 1/7
Multiplying the numerator and denominator together:
1 * 1 = 1
7 * 7 = 49
So, the correct value for 1/7/7 is indeed 1/49.
Therefore, the equation (7^-4 * 7^3)/(sqrt(49)) = 7 is true.
It is not true
Apologies for the confusion.
Let's simplify the expression again:
(7^-4 * 7^3)/(sqrt(49))
Using the Product Property of exponents:
7^(-4 + 3)/(sqrt(49))
Simplifying the exponents:
7^-1/(sqrt(49))
Now, let's consider the square root of 49:
sqrt(49) = 7
Substituting this back into our expression:
7^-1/7
To simplify this further, we can rewrite 7^(-1) as 1/7:
1/7/7
Using the division property:
1/7 * 1/7 = 1/49
Therefore, the equation (7^-4 * 7^3)/(sqrt(49)) = 7 is indeed true. The simplified expression is equal to 1/49.
To determine if the equation is true or false, let's simplify the expression step-by-step:
Step 1: Evaluate the numerator:
7^(-4) * 7^3
The Product Property of exponents states that when multiplying with the same base, you simply add the exponents. Therefore,
7^(-4) * 7^3 = 7^(-4 + 3) = 7^(-1) = 1/7
Step 2: Evaluate the denominator:
√(49) = √(7^2) = 7
Step 3: Simplify the entire expression:
(1/7) / 7 = 1/7 * 1/7 = 1/49
So, the simplified expression is 1/49.
Since the original equation is (7^(-4) * 7^3) / √(49) = 7, which simplifies to 1/49, the statement is false.
The appropriate justification is that the simplified expression is not equal to 7, but rather 1/49.
To determine if the equation (7^-4 * 7^3)/(sqrt(49)) = 7 is true or false, we can simplify the expression and analyze the result.
First, let's simplify the numerator:
7^-4 * 7^3 = 1/7^4 * 7^3 = 1/(7^4 * 7^(-3)) = 1/7^(4 - 3) = 1/7^1 = 1/7
Next, let's simplify the denominator:
sqrt(49) = √(7^2) = 7
Now, let's substitute these simplified values back into the equation:
(1/7) / 7 = 1/7 * 1/7 = 1/49
Since 1/49 is not equal to 7, the equation (7^-4 * 7^3)/(sqrt(49)) = 7 is false.
The correct response is:
False. The equation does not result in 7.
