Choose exactly two answers that are correct.
A.
(5 • 2) + 4 (use the associative property)
B.
5 • 2 + 4 (use the distributive property)
C.
5 • 6 (use order of operations)
D.
5 • 2 + 5 • 4 (use the distributive property)
Multiply the outside exponent into each
Multiply together
When you multiply an exponent DIRECTLY into another variable(with an exponent), you multiply the exponents.
For example:
(x²)³ =
When you multiply a variable with an exponent into another variable with an exponent, you add the exponents.
For example:
First I multiplied the outside exponents into the numerator and the denominator.
When you have a negative exponent, you move it onto the other side of the fraction to make it positive.
For example:
Sorry if this is confusing
Answer: 259/260 or 0.99615 (depending on which answer format your teacher wants)
There are 10 numbers in the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 9}. There are 26 letters in the set {A, B, C, ..., Z}. Multiply those values: 10*26 = 260. So there are 260 ways to pick a number followed by a letter. One example is 7P.
There is only one way Matthew can get the correct answer, and there are 260 - 1 = 259 ways to get the wrong answer. We divide 259 over 260 to get the probability of getting the incorrect answer, which is 259/260.
If you need this fraction in decimal form, then use a calculator to find that 259/260 = 0.99615 approximately
