A. Indices
without using calculator, simplify the followings expressions and express your answer with POSITIVE indices.
1) 2^(n+3)-2^(n+1)/ 2^(n+2) (ans should be 3/2)
2) 3^(2n-1)X9^(n-2)/ [6^(n+1)]^2 ans should be 3^(2n-7)/ 2^(2n+2)
Solve the following equations:
(linear equations)
3) { 3/x + 2/y=14 ----------->
{ 5/x - 3/y =17 ----------> solve both together
hint:take 1/x ,1/y as the unknowns.
x should be 1/4 and y should be 1.
