Can anyone help me with these quetions?? Math?

Evaluate the exponential expression. 4^3 * 4^9

A department store is having a clearance sale. The price on a television is reduced by 21%. That sale price is then reduced by another 21%. If x is the television's original price, the sale price can be represented by (x - 0.21x) - 0.21(x - 0.21x). With these two reductions, at what percentage of the original price is the television being sold? Use the factored, simplified form of the expression to answer the question.

Multiply or divide as indicated.

(9x^2+58x-35)/(7x-35)*(x2-5x)/(81x^2-25)÷(5x+35)/(3x^3)

Update:

Multiply or divide as indicated.

(9x^2+58x-35)/(7x-35)

*

(x2-5x)/(81x^2-25)

÷

(5x+33)/(3x^3)

sorry it cut off the last problem.

    4^3 * 4^9

    = 4^(3 + 9)

    = 4^(12)

    a. rules of powers, a^b x a^c = a^b+c so you have 4^12 there, calculator will give exact answer.

    b. hate when they try and force me to use their own equations:p if original price is 100, 21% off means you're at 79, 21% off of 79 is 79% of the cost is .79 x 79 is 62.41, which means you're up to 37.59% off.

    if you really wanted to factor their equation you'd be at x(.79) - .21x(.79) = x(.79)(.79)

    c. likely start out with factoring...your equation seems to trail off (9x^2+58x-35)/(7x-35)*(x2-5x)/(81x^2-2…

    yeah, not 100% sure on the formatting, hope that helped a bit tho.

    1) 4^12

    2) If there is 21 % reduction , you are paying 79% of original

    x X 79/100 X 79/100 = x X 0.79 X 0.79 = 0.6241x ANSWER

    3) a) 9x^2 +58x -35 =

    9x^2 +63x -5x -35

    9x ( x+7) -5( x+7)

    ( 9x-5) ( x+7)

    b) 7x -35 = 7 ( x-5)

    c) x^2 -5x = x ( x -5)

    d) 81x^2 -25 = ( 9x +5) (9x -5)

    Replace

    ( 9x-5) ( x+7) x ( x-5) 3x^3

    -----------------------------------------

    7( x-5) ( 9x+5) ( 9x-5) (5x+33)

    3x^4(x+7)

    ---------------

    7(9x+5)(5x+33) ANSWER

  • 8 years ago

    1. 4^3 x 4^9 = 4^3+9 = 4^12

    2. 100% - 21% - 21% - 21%(21%) = 58% - 21%(21%) = 58% - 21/100(21%) = 58% - 4.41% = 53.59%

    3. You haven't put the full equation in so it can't be solved yet
