Mar 16, 2017 · See the entire simplification process below: First, remove the negative exponent by using this rule for exponents: x^color(red)(a) = 1/x^color(red)(-a) (ab)^color(red)(-2) = 1/(ab)^color(red)(- -2) = 1/(ab)^2 This may be enough simplification depending on what has been requested. However, if you want to remove the terms from parenthesis you can use these two …

How do you simplify #(ab^4)(ab^2)#? - Socratic
Dec 26, 2016 · a^2b^6 In simplifying the given expression, Law of addition of exponents would apply. The exponent of both 'a' is one, hence on multiplication exponents would add to become 2. Likewise the exponents of 'b' would add to become 6. Thus the final result would be a^2b^6.
How do you expand log AB^2? - Socratic
Jun 19, 2018 · logA+2logB Using the product property, we have log(AB^2) = logA+logB^2 The power is moved in the front: logB^2=2logB :. log(AB^2) = logA+2logB
Prove that: #(a+b)/2 = sqrt( a*b)# When #a>=0# and #b>=0
Oct 1, 2017 · (a+b)/2 color(red)(>=) sqrt(ab)" " as shown below Note that: (a-b)^2 >= 0" " for any real values of a, b. Multiplying out, this becomes: a^2-2ab+b^2 >= 0 Add 4ab to both sides to get: a^2+2ab+b^2 >= 4ab Factor the left hand side to get: (a+b)^2 >= 4ab Since a, b >= 0 we can take the principal square root of both sides to find: a+b >= 2sqrt(ab) Divide both sides by 2 to get: …
How do you prove that a group G is abelian if and only if a^2 b^2 …
Sep 2, 2017 · If a group G is Abelian, then for any two elements a and b, a*b = b*a Now, Define c=a*b which is also a member of G on virtue of closure property. Then c^2 = c*c implies (a*b)^2=(a*b)*(a*b) By associative axiom, (a*b)^2 = a*(b*a)*b But, by property of commutativity (for an Abelian group), implies (a*b)^2=a*(a*b)*b implies (a*b)^2=(a*a)*(b*b) Thus we get our …
How do you divide #\frac{a^2+2ab+b^2}{ab^2-a^2b} \-: (a+b)
Dec 25, 2014 · We can use the rule about division of rational expressions where you can change the division in a multiplication by flipping the second fraction.
What is the formula for (a+b)^3? - Socratic
Feb 3, 2015 · The answer is: (a+b)^3=a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3. It's easy to prove: (a+b)^3= =(a+b)(a+b)(a+b)= =(a^2+ab+ab+b^2)(a+b)= =(a^2+2ab+b^2)(a+b)= =a^3+a^2b+2a^2b+2ab^2+ab^2+b^3 ...
If a^2 + b^2 = 4 and (a-b)^2 =2, what is the value of ab? - Socratic
Mar 30, 2018 · The value of ab is 1. We can expand (a- b)^2 to see that (a- b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2, thus a^2 + b^2 - 2ab = 2. It follows that a^2 + b^2 = 2 + 2ab, and since we're given that a^2+ b^2 = 4, we can say 4 = 2 + 2ab. Doing a little algebra we get 4 = 2(1 + ab) 2 = 1 + ab ab = 1 Hopefully this helps!
How do you factor a^2 + 2a +ab +2b? - Socratic
Nov 16, 2015 · It is a^2+2a+ab+2b=a*(a+b)+2*(a+b)=(a+2)*(a+b) How do you find the two numbers by using the factoring method, if one number is seven more than...
