Q. Determine whether each expression is equivalent to 810.5t+0.25,Equivalent Not Equivalent270.5t+0.25⋅30.5t+0.253t+0.527t+0.59t⋅3
Simplify 810.5t+0.25:Step 1: Simplify 810.5t+0.25.81=34, so 810.5t+0.25=(34)0.5t+0.25=34(0.5t+0.25)=32t+1.
Simplify 27(0.5t+0.25)imes3(0.5t+0.25):Step 2: Simplify 27(0.5t+0.25)imes3(0.5t+0.25).27=33, so 27(0.5t+0.25)=(33)(0.5t+0.25)=33imes(0.5t+0.25)=3(1.5t+0.75).3(0.5t+0.25) is already in base 3.So, 27(0.5t+0.25)imes3(0.5t+0.25)=3(1.5t+0.75)imes3(0.5t+0.25)=3(1.5t+0.75+0.5t+0.25)=3(2t+1).
Simplify 3t+0.527t+0.5: Step 3: Simplify 3t+0.527t+0.5. 27=33, so 27t+0.5=(33)t+0.5=33(t+0.5)=33t+1.5. So, 3t+0.527t+0.5=3t+0.533t+1.5=33t+1.5−t−0.5=32t+1.
Simplify 9t⋅3:Step 4: Simplify 9t⋅3.9=32, so 9t=(32)t=32t.So, 9t⋅3=32t⋅3=32t+1.
