Consider the following 8 numbers, where one labelled x is unknown. 14, 22, 34, x , 34, 46, 21, 38 Given that the range of the numbers is 66, work out 2 values of x .

x=-20 or x=80

Step-by-step explanation:

you can either make it so 46 remains the largest number and so take 66 from 46 (=-20) or you can leave 14 as the smallest number and add 66 to 14(=80)

b.an increase in a causes b to decrease

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
