Math Problem Statement

d. 𝑦 = √(𝑥3 − 4𝑥)2 3 e. 4𝑥7𝑦6 𝑦2

3𝑥5𝑦4 𝑥3

Solution

Let's address each question step by step.


Part d: Simplify y=(x34x)2y = \sqrt{(x^3 - 4x)^2}

The square root of a square can be simplified as:

\sqrt{a^2} = |a| \quad \text{(absolute value of a)}.

Thus:

y=(x34x)2=x34x.y = \sqrt{(x^3 - 4x)^2} = |x^3 - 4x|.

Final Simplified Form:

y=x34x.y = |x^3 - 4x|.

This expression ensures that the result is always non-negative.


Part e: Simplify 4x7y6y2=3x5y4x3\frac{4x^7 y^6}{y^2} = \frac{3x^5 y^4}{x^3}

To simplify, let's break it down step by step:

Left-Hand Side:

4x7y6y2\frac{4x^7 y^6}{y^2}

  • Simplify the yy-terms: y6÷y2=y62=y4y^6 \div y^2 = y^{6-2} = y^4.
  • The xx-terms remain as is.

4x7y6y2=4x7y4.\frac{4x^7 y^6}{y^2} = 4x^7 y^4.

Right-Hand Side:

3x5y4x3\frac{3x^5 y^4}{x^3}

  • Simplify the xx-terms: x5÷x3=x53=x2x^5 \div x^3 = x^{5-3} = x^2.
  • The yy-terms remain as is.

3x5y4x3=3x2y4.\frac{3x^5 y^4}{x^3} = 3x^2 y^4.

Combine Both Sides:

Equating the simplified forms of both sides:

4x7y4=3x2y4.4x^7 y^4 = 3x^2 y^4.

Cancel Out Common Terms:

  • The y4y^4 on both sides can be canceled (assuming y0y \neq 0):
