Question

Another one of this type of question. Below are two expressions. Simplify each and then choose the statement that is true.

(3x^2)3x^2 and (3x^3)^2(x^2)
Is it

The relationship cannot be determined with the given information.








The exponents on Expression #2 are greater than the exponents of Expression #1.








The exponents in Expression #1 are greater than the exponents of Expression #2.








The exponents of Expression #1 are the same as the exponents of Expression #2.

Answer 1

did you write the question right?

Answer 2

yes sorry if it looks wrong but if it helps it is polynomials

Answer 3

The simplified equations are

\[9x ^{4} and 3x ^{8}\]

Answer 4

So which answer applies?

Answer 5

Emmy it's 9x^4 and 9x^8

so I guess the first one. The relationship cannot be determined with the given information.

Answer 6

because x could be anything

Answer 7

I don't see how you got 9x^8 for the second one, but either way the answer is the second one. X can be anything, but it's the same in both equations, and ^8 is more than ^4, so no matter what x is, the second equation will be larger. Unless, of course, the second equation is 3x^8, so the answer could be the first one.

Answer 8

it says => (3x^3)^2(x^2) : (3x^3)^2 = (9x^6)(x^2) = 9x^8

I'm afraid that's not true. If x is 1/4 (for example) The first one will be larger.

Answer 9

okay no fighting i will just go with what luwcey says

Answer 10
