Powered by AIThe expression (x^2 +2x -3)(x^2 -2x +3) can be simplified by direct multiplication rather than applying the difference of squares identity, which doesn't fit precisely. By expanding: x^2(x^2 -2x +3) + 2x(x^2 -2x +3) -3(x^2 -2x +3) results in x^4 - 4x^2 + 12x - 9. The key is pairing terms where identities like (a+b)(a-b) aren't directly applicable, requiring distribution and combining like terms .
Simplifying expressions involving negative exponents, such as ((2/3)^{-2}) × ((3/2)^{-3}), requires recasting negative exponents as reciprocals. (2/3)^{-2} converts to (3/2)^2 and (3/2)^{-3} to (2/3)^3. Multiplying these results in (3/2)^{2-3} = (3/2)^{-1}, thus reducing to 2/3 upon simplification .
Finding the maximum bag capacity involves computing the greatest divisor of 784 that allows equal division while maximizing the size of each bag. Dividing 784 by its largest factor less than itself, which is 392, results in two bags of maximum possible capacity 392 kg each. This approach ensures making the largest bags possible while maintaining equality in weight per bag .
A number divisible by multiple numbers must also be divisible by the least common multiple (LCM) of those numbers as it gives the smallest number that is divisible by each. For multiples like 3 and 11, the LCM is 33, indicating that any number divisible by both 3 and 11 must also divide equally into 33. For example, the number 66 meets this criterion as it is divisible by 3, 11, and hence 33 .
The square root of a number can be found using prime factorization by expressing the number as a product of its prime factors and pairing the factors. For 1936, we express it as 2^4 × 11^2. Taking the square root involves taking half of the powers of each prime factor, resulting in 2^2 × 11 = 4 × 11 = 44 .
To determine the least number to multiply with a given integer to form a perfect cube, one must first factorize the integer into its prime factors and check the exponents. For 180, the prime factorization is 2^2 × 3^2 × 5. Each prime factor should have an exponent multiple of 3 to make it a perfect cube. Therefore, to make 180 a perfect cube, we multiply it by 2 × 3 × 25 = 150, resulting in the completeness of 2^3 × 3^3 × 5^3 .
The multiplicative inverse of a rational number is a number that, when multiplied with the original number, gives a product of 1. For a fraction like -5/9, the multiplicative inverse is determined by flipping the numerator and the denominator, changing the sign if necessary. Therefore, the multiplicative inverse of -5/9 is -9/5 .
The units digit of powers like 9^35 can be derived from observation of recurring patterns in powers of 9. The units digits cycle between 9 and 1. Since 35 is an odd number in this cycle, the units digit for 9^35 is 9, as established by the pattern for odd exponents .
To find the cube root using factorization, we break the number down into its prime components and group the factors in triples. For 17576, we factor it into 2^3 and 13^3, showing it as 26^3. Therefore, the cube root of 17576 is 26, as each prime factor's power is a multiple of 3, simplifying directly to the cube number .
Representing 0.000000000625 in scientific notation involves moving the decimal point to the right until it is just after the first non-zero digit, and counting the number of moves as a negative exponent of 10. Thus, 0.000000000625 becomes 6.25 × 10^{-10} .
