find an equivalent equation with the given denominator
7/b= ?/bsquared
the expression that is equivilent to 7/b is ?
if b is squared wouldn't the 7 also have to be squared to be equivilant?
7/b = 49/b squared? Am I correct? Thanks
Yes, you are correct!
However, online it would be written:
7/b = 49/(b^2)
I hope this helps a little more.
To find an equivalent equation with the denominator b^2, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of the original fraction 7/b by b. This will give us:
(7/b) * b = 7
So, the equivalent expression to 7/b with the denominator b^2 is 7/b * b = 7.
However, if the denominator is b^2, then squaring the numerator (7) is not correct. Squaring only applies to the denominator. So, the correct equivalent expression would be:
7/b = 7/b^2
Keep in mind that this equation is equivalent to the original equation only if the values of b satisfy both equations.
