If 5^n x 5^3 = 5^6, then n is _.

A) 18
B) 2
C) 3
D) 9

The rule we'll use is a^b*a^c = a^(b+c). So we add the exponents.

That means 5^n*5^3 = 5^(n+3)

So 5^n*5^3 = 5^6 turns into 5^(n+3) = 5^6

The bases are equal to 5, so the exponents be equal to one another.

n+3 = 6

n+3-3 = 6-3

n = 3

So 5^3*5^3 = 5^(3+3) = 5^6.

n = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of exponents

× ⇔

Given

× 5³ = , then

=

Since the bases on both sides are 5, the equate the exponents

n + 3 = 6 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

n = 3

the highest percentage for deaths in construction from highest to lowest is as follows: falls, struck by objects, electrocution, and caught-in/between. these four are collectively known as fatal four.

in the case of falls, the type that is responsible for the overall highest death in the category is falls from roofs.

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
