There is a difference of 5 inches in height between CJ and Eric, but you do not know who is taller. Let c represent CJ's height, and let e represent Eric's height. Formulate an
absolute value equation to relate the heights.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the height of CJ and Eric is 5 inches. It means the height of CJ is either 5 inches higher or 5 inches lower (-5 inches higher) than Eric.

Therefore, we can set up the equation,

Alternatively, if we use CJ as the reference,

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
