Which values of a and b make the following equation true? ()=-20xayb

The values of a and b are a = 11 , b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

* In the exponential functions we have some rules

1-  In multiplication if they have same base we add  the power

# Ex: b^m  ×  b^n  =  b^(m + n) ⇒ b is the base , m and n are the powers

2- In division if they have same base we subtract  the power

# Ex: b^m  ÷  b^n =  b^(m – n) ⇒ b is the base , m and n are the powers

3- If we have power over power we multiply them

# Ex: (b^m)^n = b^(mn) ⇒ b is the base , m and n are the powers

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The equation is ⇒ (1)

- At first multiply the coefficients

∵ -4 × 5 = -20

- Multiply the base x

∵

- Multiply the base y

∵

∴ ⇒ (2)

- By comparing (1) and (2)

∴ a = 11 and b = 7

* The values of a and b are a = 11 , b = 7

answer: are you

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
