I have accessed the image. Let's solve the provided math problems step-by-step.
(a) Simplify the following expressions:
(i)
= a^{1-2} \cdot b^{2-1} \cdot c^{1+3} = a^{-1}b^1c^4 = \frac{bc^4}{a}$$ Thus, the simplified expression is $$\frac{bc^4}{a}$$. #### (ii) $$\left(\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{y} \cdot \sqrt{z}\right) \left(\sqrt{x} \cdot y \cdot \sqrt{z}\right)$$ $$\left(\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{y} \cdot \sqrt{z}\right) \left(\sqrt{x} \cdot y \cdot \sqrt{z}\right) = \sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{y} \cdot y \cdot \sqrt{z} \cdot \sqrt{z} = x \cdot \sqrt{y} \cdot y \cdot z = x \cdot y^{3/2} \cdot z$$ Thus, the simplified expression is $$x \cdot y^{3/2} \cdot z$$. --- ### (b) Solve the equations: #### (i) $$2x - 3 + 4x = 7 + x$$ $$2x + 4x - x = 7 + 3$$ $$5x = 10 \implies x = 2$$ The solution is $$x = 2$$. #### (ii) $$\log 2x^4 + \log x = \log 16 + \log x^4$$ Using the property $$\log ab = \log a + \log b$$, we combine terms: $$\log (2x^4 \cdot x) = \log (16 \cdot x^4)$$ $$\log (2x^5) = \log (16x^4)$$ Equating the arguments: $$2x^5 = 16x^4$$ Dividing by $$x^4$$ (assuming $$x \neq 0$$): $$2x = 16 \implies x = 8$$ The solution is $$x = 8$$. --- ### (c) Factorize the expressions: #### (i) $$5x^2y - 30x^3y^2$$ $$5x^2y - 30x^3y^2 = 5x^2y (1 - 6xy)$$ Thus, the factorized form is $$5x^2y(1 - 6xy)$$. #### (ii) $$x^2 - 100$$ $$x^2 - 100 = (x - 10)(x + 10)$$ Thus, the factorized form is $$(x - 10)(x + 10)$$. --- ### (d) Sag length equation: The equation for sag length $$l$$ is: $$l = \frac{12}{x} + x$$ Given $$l = 18$$, we solve: $$18 = \frac{12}{x} + x$$ Multiplying the equation by $$x$$ to eliminate the denominator: $$18x = 12 + x^2$$ Rearranging: $$x^2 - 18x + 12 = 0$$ We can solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula: $$x = \frac{-(-18) \pm \sqrt{(-18)^2 - 4(1)(12)}}{2(1)} = \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{324 - 48}}{2} = \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{276}}{2} = \frac{18 \pm 2\sqrt{69}}{2}$$ $$x = 9 \pm \sqrt{69}$$ Thus, the distance between the supports is $$x = 9 + \sqrt{69}$$ or $$x = 9 - \sqrt{69}$$ (taking the positive root makes physical sense). --- ### (e) Simultaneous equations: $$y = x^2 + 3x - 1$$ $$y = 2x + 1$$ Equating the two expressions for $$y$$: $$x^2 + 3x - 1 = 2x + 1$$ Rearranging: $$x^2 + 3x - 2x - 1 - 1 = 0$$ $$x^2 + x - 2 = 0$$ Factoring: $$(x - 1)(x + 2) = 0$$ Thus, $$x = 1$$ or $$x = -2$$. Substitute into $$y = 2x + 1$$: For $$x = 1$$: $$y = 2(1) + 1 = 3$$ For $$x = -2$$: $$y = 2(-2) + 1 = -3$$ Thus, the solutions are $$(x, y) = (1, 3)$$ and $$(x, y) = (-2, -3)$$. --- Would you like more details on any step?
