Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking you to graph the equations.
The equations are in slope intercept form so y=mx+b
M is the slope and b is the y-intercept
First draw the y & x axis and label/number them
The y-intercept for the first equation is -1 so draw a dot on the -1 on the y-axis
The slope is 2/5 and you use rise/run to continue the slope.
you rise 2 on the y-axis and go right 5 times on the x-axis (for a negative number you go left/down)
For the second equation, you have to turn it into slope intercept form.
You should get y=2/3x+3
You graph this equation the same as you did the first one.
Ok, so since it doesn't give a value for "my age", we'll call it x. So the sentence translates into an equation...
200 reduced means... 200 -
by 2 times my age means... 2x
equals 16 means... = 16
200 - 2x = 16
Now let's solve for x to find "my age"
First subtract 200 from each side to begin to isolate x
-2x = -184
Divide each side by -2 to isolate x
x = -184/-2
x = 92
I'm 92 years old!
Answer:
q = log4 / log0.53
q = -2.189
Step-by-step explanation:
(0.53)^q = 4
Taking log of both sides!
q log 0.53 = log 4
q = log 4 / log 0.53
q = 0.602 / -0.275
q = - 2.189
This can be checked to confirm correctness.
Substituting q = -2.189
(0.53)^ -2.189 = 1/ 0.249
= 4.01 Proved!
(Note that the "1" is because of the negative sign)
