PLSSS HELP 50 POINTS Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar and ^ to indicate an exponent. Find the missing term.

The expression that fits into the box is x¹⁵⁸

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the empty box be y

(x¹²)⁵ × (x⁻²)⁹ × y = (x⁴⁰)⁵

Here, we will apply the laws of indices.

The laws of indices gives the answer for the expressions

1) xᵏ × xˢ = xᵏ⁺ˢ

2) xᵏ ÷ xˢ = xᵏ⁻ˢ

3) (xᵏ)ˢ = xᵏ•ˢ

So,

(x¹²)⁵ = x⁶⁰

(x⁻²)⁹ = x⁻¹⁸

(x⁴⁰)⁵ = x²⁰⁰

(x¹²)⁵ × (x⁻²)⁹ × y = (x⁴⁰)⁵

Becomes

x⁶⁰ × x⁻¹⁸ × y = x²⁰⁰

x⁶⁰⁻¹⁸ × y = x²⁰⁰

x⁴² × y = x²⁰⁰

y = x²⁰⁰ ÷ x⁴²

y = x²⁰⁰⁻⁴² = x¹⁵⁸

Hope this Helps!!!

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
