Use the Commutative Property of Multiplication to rewrite the algebraic expression: k^17⋅z^33

11 answers

According to the Commutative Property of Multiplication, the order of factors can be changed without affecting the product. Therefore, you can rewrite the expression \( k^{17} \cdot z^{33} \) as:

\[ z^{33} \cdot k^{17} \]

Both expressions represent the same product.

Which expression correctly demonstrates the Commutative Property of Multiplication?(1 point)
Responses:
15⋅(x)⋅4=4⋅15⋅(x)
15⋅x⋅4=4+15+x
15(x+4)=15(x⋅4)
x+4+15=15+4+x

The expression that correctly demonstrates the Commutative Property of Multiplication is:

15⋅(x)⋅4 = 4⋅15⋅(x)

This shows that the order of multiplication can be changed while the product remains the same. The other options do not represent the commutative property correctly.

Write an equivalent expression to (a⋅b)⋅c
using the Associative Property of Multiplication.

Using the Associative Property of Multiplication, you can regroup the factors in a multiplication expression without changing the product.

For the expression \((a \cdot b) \cdot c\), you can rewrite it by changing the grouping:

\[ a \cdot (b \cdot c) \]

Both expressions, \((a \cdot b) \cdot c\) and \(a \cdot (b \cdot c)\), are equivalent.

Which expression is equivalent to −3x−5
Responses:
(−4x−6)+(2+5x)
−1+3x−(2x+6)
−1+(x−4x)+6
(x−7)+(2−4x)

To determine which expression is equivalent to \(-3x - 5\), we can simplify each option.

  1. Option 1: \((-4x - 6) + (2 + 5x)\) \[ = -4x - 6 + 2 + 5x = (5x - 4x) + (-6 + 2) = x - 4 \]

  2. Option 2: \(-1 + 3x - (2x + 6)\) \[ = -1 + 3x - 2x - 6 = 3x - 2x - 1 - 6 = x - 7 \]

  3. Option 3: \(-1 + (x - 4x) + 6\) \[ = -1 + (1x - 4x) + 6 = -1 - 3x + 6 = -3x + 5 \]

  4. Option 4: \((x - 7) + (2 - 4x)\) \[ = x - 7 + 2 - 4x = (x - 4x) + (-7 + 2) = -3x - 5 \]

The only expression that simplifies to \(-3x - 5\) is Option 4: \((x - 7) + (2 - 4x)\).

According to the Distributive Property, which expression is equivalent to 4x^3+8x^2+12x
Responses:
4x(x2+2x+3)
(2x^2+4)(2x−3)
(2x^2+4)(2x&2+3)
4x(4x+5x)

To determine which expression is equivalent to \(4x^3 + 8x^2 + 12x\) using the Distributive Property, we can factor the expression.

First, we can factor out the common term \(4x\):

\[ 4x^3 + 8x^2 + 12x = 4x(x^2 + 2x + 3) \]

Now, let's analyze the given response options:

  1. Option 1: \(4x(x^2 + 2x + 3)\)

    • This is equivalent to \(4x^3 + 8x^2 + 12x\).
  2. Option 2: \((2x^2 + 4)(2x - 3)\)

    • Let's expand it: \[ = 2x^2 \cdot 2x + 2x^2 \cdot (-3) + 4 \cdot 2x + 4 \cdot (-3) = 4x^3 - 6x^2 + 8x - 12 \]
    • This is not equivalent.
  3. Option 3: \((2x^2 + 4)(2x^2 + 3)\)

    • Let's expand it: \[ = 2x^2 \cdot 2x^2 + 2x^2 \cdot 3 + 4 \cdot 2x^2 + 4 \cdot 3 = 4x^4 + 6x^2 + 8x + 12 \]
    • This is not equivalent.
  4. Option 4: \(4x(4x + 5x)\)

    • This simplifies to: \[ = 4x(9x) = 36x^2 \]
    • This is not equivalent.

The correct choice is Option 1: \(4x(x^2 + 2x + 3)\), as it is the only expression that is equivalent to \(4x^3 + 8x^2 + 12x\) according to the Distributive Property.

Which of the following simplifies to the same expression as 4x^2−3x^2+5x−24
Responses:
2(x−12)
(x+8)(x−3)
4x(x−6)
(x+6)(x−4)

To determine which expression simplifies to the same expression as \(4x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x - 24\), let's first simplify \(4x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x - 24\):

  1. Combine like terms: \[ 4x^2 - 3x^2 = 1x^2 \quad \text{(or simply } x^2\text{)} \] Resulting in: \[ x^2 + 5x - 24 \]

Next, we can factor \(x^2 + 5x - 24\) to identify an equivalent expression:

To factor \(x^2 + 5x - 24\), we look for two numbers that multiply to \(-24\) and add up to \(5\). The numbers \(8\) and \(-3\) work:

\[ x^2 + 5x - 24 = (x + 8)(x - 3) \]

Now, let’s check each response option:

  1. Option 1: \(2(x - 12)\) \[ = 2x - 24 \]

    • This does not simplify to \(x^2 + 5x - 24\).
  2. Option 2: \((x + 8)(x - 3)\)

    • We just found that this simplifies to \(x^2 + 5x - 24\).
  3. Option 3: \(4x(x - 6)\) \[ = 4x^2 - 24x \]

    • This does not simplify to \(x^2 + 5x - 24\).
  4. Option 4: \((x + 6)(x - 4)\) \[ = x^2 - 4x + 6x - 24 = x^2 + 2x - 24 \]

    • This also does not simplify to \(x^2 + 5x - 24\).

The only option that correctly simplifies to the same expression as \(4x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x - 24\) is Option 2: \((x + 8)(x - 3)\).
