Answer:

Option b is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given condition : Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number.

Here, the number is x

The quotient of a number x and twelve is expressed as , $\frac{x}{12}$

Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is expressed as, $\frac{x}{12}-7$

Five times the number mean, $5x$

Therefore, we have an equation in the form of x from the given condition as:

$\frac{x}{12}-7=5x$ .

Consider a civilization broadcasting a signal with a power of 2.0×104 watts. The Arecibo radio telescope, which is about 300 met

Vitek1552 [10]

For light: Inverse Square Law

The signal is weaken by the inverse square of the difference of distances this means that one over the square of the difference.

Therefore, 70000LY / 141 LY =496.45 and that squared =246462.602 times less signal, or 1/246462.602.

2 For a circular telescope like the Arecibo radio telescope that equals Pi times the radius squared. Sensitivity of the telescope depends on its area.
The new telescope needs 246462.60 times that area to have enough sensitivity

(150 x 150 x Pi) = 70 685 sq m area for the Arecibo telescope and that times 246462.60
= 1.74212 x 10^10

What is the diameter of a circle with that area?

1. Divide the area by Pi = 5.548156 x 10^9
2. Take the square root of the result to find the radius = 74485.94293

3. Multiply by 2 to find the diameter = 148971.886

How many different solutions are there to the equation (x² - 4x + 5 )ˣ²⁺ˣ⁻³⁰=1

Anna71 [15]

A power $a^b$ gives 1 as a result in two cases

The base is 1, and every exponent is good: $1^b=1 \forall b$
The exponent is 0, and every non-zero base is good: $a^0=1 \forall a\neq 0$

So, we need either

$x^2-4x+5=1$

$x^2+x^{-30}=0$

The first happens if

$x^2-4x+5=1 \iff x^2-4x+4=0 \iff (x-2)^2=0 \iff x=2$

The second happens if

$x^2+x^{-30}=0 \iff \dfrac{1+x^{32}}{x^{30}}=0$

which is impossible.

So, the only solution is $x=2$
