If the product of 5 and w to the second power is equal to the sum of 9 and k, what is the NEGATIVE value of w makes this statement true if k=-4 ?

-√1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the product of 5 and w to the second power is equal to the sum of 9 and k, this is expressed as;

(5w)² = 9 + k

Given that k = -4, on substituting;

(5w)² = 9 + (-4)

(5w)² = 9-4

(5w)² = 5

25w² = 5

5w² = 1

w² = 1/5

w = ±√1/5

w = -√1/5

Hence the NEGATIVE value of w is -√1/5

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
