Question

Below are two expressions. Simplify each and choose the statement that is true about each.

Expression #1

(4x)^2(x)

Expression #2

(6x^2)^4

A. The exponents in Expression #1 are greater than the exponents of Expression #2.
B. The exponents on Expression #2 are greater than the exponents of Expression #1.
C. The exponents of Expression #1 are the same as the exponents of Expression #2.
D. The relationship cannot be determined with the given information.

Answer 1

Please, anybody?? I need help! :(

Answer 2

D - the values of the exponents depends on value of x so it cannot be determined

Answer 3

Thanks for your help! The first equation confused me. I guess that's why I didn't understand...

Answer 4

Do you think you could help me with this one as well??

Below are two expressions. Simplify each and then choose the statement that is true.

Expression #1

(y^9)(2y^2)^3

Expression #2

(9y)(2y^3)^2


A. The exponents in Expression #1 are greater than the exponents of Expression #2.
B. The exponents on Expression #2 are greater than the exponents of Expression #1.
C. The exponents of Expression #1 are the same as the exponents of Expression #2.
D. The relationship cannot be determined with the given information

Answer 5

yw - if for example x = 5 then the exponent in first expression = 10 > no 2
and if x = 1 then its less

Answer 6

I asked this question twice and the other person said this for the first one:

B. The exponents on Expression #2 are greater than the exponents of Expression #1
since exponent in #2 is 2* 4 = 8 ( > 2 + 1 = 3)

Answer 7

Which one is right? lol :)

Answer 8

Renee99, you're confused my reply to the other problem !!!

Answer 9

So it is B?

Answer 10

(y^9)(2y^2)^3
= (y^9)(8y^6)
= 8y^15
(9y)(2y^3)^2
= (9y(4y^6)
= 36y^7

A

Answer 11

Okay, thanks for writing that out. But i'm still confused on the first one. One of you said it was B and the other said it is D? Which one? lol :) I just want to be sure..

Answer 12

Which one are your talking about?

Answer 13

They first one... on the very top.

Answer 14

Can you just copy and paste into here?

Answer 15

Below are two expressions. Simplify each and choose the statement that is true about each.

Expression #1

(4x)^2(x)

Expression #2

(6x^2)^4

A. The exponents in Expression #1 are greater than the exponents of Expression #2.
B. The exponents on Expression #2 are greater than the exponents of Expression #1.
C. The exponents of Expression #1 are the same as the exponents of Expression #2.
D. The relationship cannot be determined with the given information.

Answer 16

Now that's the one I have answered!

Answer 17

Yeah you said it was B, but jimmyrep said it was D?

Answer 18

x^2 * x = x^3
(x^2)^4 = x^8
-> B ( since 8 > 3)

Answer 19

Do you understand the way I'm calculating?

Answer 20

Okay, I'll trust you!! :D lol Thanks for your help!!

Answer 21

Yes, I think I understand now!! :D

Answer 22

Sometimes the screen jerking too much, causing typo a lot

Answer 23

illl have another look at q 1
(x)^2(x) = x^2x
(x^2)^4 = x^8
now if x = 1, 2nd is greater than ist
if x = 5 1st is greater than 2nd

so D

Answer 24

The question asking about which EXPONENT, so I just focus on it

Answer 25

i have assumed its x the the power (2x) - maybe its meant to be x^2 * x
in which case B is correct
- the way its written is somewhat ambiguous

Answer 26

Okay, Its making much more sense to me now! :)

Answer 27

Similarly:
(y^9)(2y^2)^3 = 9 + ( 2*3) = 15
(9y)(2y^3)^2 = 1 + ( 3*2) = 7
=> A ( 15 > 7)

Answer 28

I do have one more question... If you guys wouldn't mind helping me with it??

Answer 29

sorry - i gotta go

Answer 30

Part 1: Explain, using complete sentences, how to simplify the expression below.
Part 2: What is the simplified expression?

(3x^3y^4)^2

Answer 31

Its all good, just thought I would ask!! Thanks for all of your help!! :D

Answer 32

I'm trying to insert equation, but my PC and connection so staggering !

Answer 33

Its all good, I just appreciate you helping me at all!! :)

Answer 34

Go ahead, Renee!

Answer 35

Part 1: Explain, using complete sentences, how to simplify the expression below.
Part 2: What is the simplified expression?

(3x^3y^4)^2

Answer 36

(3x^3y^4)^2 =
[(3)(x^3)(y^4)]^2 =
(3)^2*(x^3)^2*(y^4)^2 =
9*x^6*y^8 =
9 x^6 y^8

If everything inside the parentheses is multiplied together, all you need to do is raise every individual part to the outer exponent.

Answer 37

(3x^3y^4)^2
Expand it out:
(3x^3)^2 = 9x^6
(y^4)^2 = y^8

Answer 38

That's what I got so far...

Answer 39

Your's looks a lot simpler, lol :)

Answer 40

Try to make it less complicated!

Answer 41

Yeah, I tend to make it more complicated than it suppose to be... idk why, I just do it. lol

Answer 46

However of course we want the most shorcut way!

Answer 47

Yeah, haha. Nice saying!! :)

Answer 48

Explain
Expand the expression, applying power rule!

Answer 49

There're many way to solve one problem, but I'm different from others because I strive for the simplest and neat solution!

Answer 50

The way my teacher explains it really breaks it down and it can sometimes make me confused. The way you did it made it seem so simple.

Answer 51

For example, the goal of your question is exponent,
so I just aim to solve for exponent!

Answer 52

Yeah, Understandable!! :)

Answer 53

one-by-one tutoring is the most efficient way!

Answer 54

I'm home school, so It;s a little harder to get one on one time with an teacher, but I'm going to ask if there's a way to get extra help.

Answer 55

home schooled*/ it's*

Answer 56

I'm feel sorry for many askers who just want the answers for the purpose of score!

Answer 57

How old are you? Are you taking algebra 1 now?

Answer 58

I know, I see many kids who only like home schooling for the benefit of being able to get the answers through the internet.

Answer 59

I'm 16 and in 10th grade. I know i'm taking it late but I had some issues last year and I ended up having to complete ALG1 this year.

All the stuff I'm showing you is 4th grade math in Asia!

Answer 70

What?

Answer 71

Are you serious??

Answer 72

Now I feel like our country is so dumb.... lol

Answer 73

jk :)

Answer 74

Just point out to you that consistently patient is the key to success!
Yep, Asian learn exponent operations very early!

Answer 75

It's pointless if you win half of way, then neglect snobbish
=> Loser in no time!

Answer 76

You got that right!! That's really shocking to hear. hahaha I always new Asians were smart, but I guess I never knew how smart. I do now, lol :) No wonder every kid I talk to nowadays seems so stupid and uneducated. What is happening to America. This generation is going to destroy the world! hahaha jk :)

Answer 90

I really appreciate the help everyone on here gives me! I plan to take full advantages in all opportunities that can help benefit me in school.

Answer 91

As matter of fact, I'm surprised that you're NOT typical teenagers, stereotyped as rotten spoiled! Your parent mus be so proud, and delightful to have such a decent child as you!

Answer 92

I'm actually helping several other high schoolers, however, they just dump all their homework on me, not like you trying to get to bottom of the concept.

Answer 93

I'll let you come back to your homework now!

Answer 94

Aww thanks!! It's funny, my parents tell me all the time that I'm "the golden child" or "the diamond in the rough" and that i'm not like most teenagers. Most of their friends that I meet even assume that I'm much older than I actually am and that I'm really mature or my age. I just look at it as rational thinking I guess....

Answer 95

a good upbringing helps!! :)

Answer 96

SEE, I can recognize it even just through online contact!
Not really the environment, may be your family is super with religious

Answer 97

Actually, that was the last of my homework!! :) Thanks again for all of your help. I really like how you broke it down for me instead of just giving me the answer like some people have in the past. I truly appreciate it!! :D

Answer 98

That's just how I am, so slow to the degree that I'm always is the last to respond :P
