Which expression is equivalent to (2g^5)^3

Your answer should be 8g^15

Step-by-step explanation:

If cubed (power of 3) is on a parenthesis, that means you have to cube every expression inside that parenthesis. In order to distribute exponents, mutliply them. This gives you g^5 times ^3, which is g^15. ^3 has to also be distributed to the 2, which is 2^3 = 8. 8 and g^15 is 8g^15.

secant-secant formula:

(whole secant) x (external part) =           (whole secant) x (external part)

(8+y-2) *8=                                           (y+4+6) *6

(y+6)*8 = (y+10) *6

distribute

8y+48 = 6y +60

subtract 6y from each side

2y +48 = 60

subtract 48 from each side

2y = 12

divide by 2

y = 6

sv =     (y+4+6)

sv   = 6+4+6

sv = 16
