The solution of the given exponential equation is 0.688.

Given that Mike is working on solving the exponential equation 37ˣ = 12.

An exponential equation is an exponential equation where the power (or) part of the exponent is a variable.

firstly, we have to slve this equation is by converting it to logarithmic form. Any exponential equation can be transformed into an equivalent logarithmic equation as follows:

aˣ = y

logₐy = x

Now, we will apply this transformation to our equation and we get

log₃₇12=x

Further, we will apply the change of base formula so that solution is written in terms of base 10 logs:

x=log12/log37

So, this is an exact answer to given equation, but we can simplify it further by using decimal approximation of it using a calculator. Remember that these logs are base 10:

x≈1.079/1.568

x=0.688

Hence, the solution of the given exponential equation 37ˣ=12 is 0.688.

Suppose a triangle has two sides of length 32 and 35, and that the angle

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The third side is around 58.043

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the law of cosines: $c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos(C)$

Plug in the two sides we know (into a and b) and the angle we know (into angle C).

Thus:

$c^2=32^2+35^2-2(32)(35)cos(120)$

Use a calculator:

$c^2=3369\\$

$c=58.043087...$

Veronica bought 20 bags of candy for a school dance. The first 5 bags cost $1.79 each. The rest of the bags cost $1.19 each. How

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

$26.80

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 1.79 by 5 and you get 8.95

multiply 1.19 by 15 now because there are 15 uncounted bags left and you get 17.85

add together and you get 26.8. she spent 26.8 dollars on candy

6. If the net investment function is given by

Pachacha [2.7K]

The capital formation of the investment function over a given period is the

accumulated capital for the period.

(a) The capital formation from the end of the second year to the end of the fifth year is approximately 298.87.

(b) The number of years before the capital stock exceeds $100,000 is approximately 46.15 years.

Reasons:

(a) The given investment function is presented as follows;

$I(t) = 100 \cdot e^{0.1 \cdot t}$

(a) The capital formation is given as follows;

$\displaystyle Capital = \int\limits {100 \cdot e^{0.1 \cdot t}} \, dt =1000 \cdot e^{0.1 \cdot t}} + C$

From the end of the second year to the end of the fifth year, we have;

The end of the second year can be taken as the beginning of the third year.

Therefore, for the three years; Year 3, year 4, and year 5, we have;

$\displaystyle Capital = \int\limits^5_3 {100 \cdot e^{0.1 \cdot t}} \, dt \approx 298.87$

The capital formation from the end of the second year to the end of the fifth year, C ≈ 298.87

(b) When the capital stock exceeds $100,000, we have;

$\displaystyle \mathbf{\left[1000 \cdot e^{0.1 \cdot t}} + C \right]^t_0} = 100,000$

Which gives;

$\displaystyle 1000 \cdot e^{0.1 \cdot t}} - 1000 = 100,000$

$\displaystyle \mathbf{1000 \cdot e^{0.1 \cdot t}}} = 100,000 + 1000 = 101,000$

$\displaystyle e^{0.1 \cdot t}} = 101$

$\displaystyle t = \frac{ln(101)}{0.1} \approx 46.15$

The number of years before the capital stock exceeds $100,000 ≈ 46.15 years.
