Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

To simplify:

The quotient y10y6.

Answer to Problem 1P

Solution:

y10y6=y4

Explanation of Solution

Definition:

Quotient rule for exponents:

If m and n are positive integers, and a is a real number, then

aman=am-n

and a is not zero.

Calculation:

Given quotient:

y10y6

Using the quotient rule, we get

y10y6=y10-6

=y4

Thus, y10y6=y4.

Final statement:

Therefore, the quotient y10y6=y4.

A craftsman of string instruments has received a new order to craft violins and guitars. The craftsman haslimited resources (wood, string, varnish) and time available to create the instruments. Each type of instrument(violin and guitar) requires specific amounts of these resources as well as a certain amount of time to complete.The craftsman wants to find the optimal number of violins and guitars to create in order to maximize the profitfrom selling them, while respecting the resource and time constraints (all instruments will be sold).The profit from selling each violin is 6,000 NOK, and the profit from selling each guitar is 3,000 NOK.Each violin requires 4 kg of wood, 0.3 l of varnish, and 2 m of string, and takes 3 days to craft. For eachguitar, the craftsman needs 5 kg of wood, 0.1 l of varnish, and 6 m of string, and it takes 2 days to make it.The craftsman’s workshop is stocked with 60 kg of wood, 2.5 l of varnish, and 65 m of string. The order needsto be completed in 30…
