Answer: $1.495*10^8\ inches$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you have to remember the Product of powers property, which states that:

$(a^m)(a^n)=a^{(m+n)}$

Let be "x" the height in inches of a stack of $2.5*10^9$ pennies.

You know that the thickness of 1 pennie is $5.98*10^{-2}\ inches$ , then, you can write the following proportion:

$\frac{5.98*10^{-2}}{1}=\frac{x}{2.5*10^9}$

Solve for "x":

$(2.5*10^9)(\frac{5.98*10^{-2}}{1})=x\\\\x=14.95*10^7$

To express this height in Scientific notation the decimal point must be after the first digit, so you must move it one place to the left:

$x=1.495*10^8$

r. Yi buys vegetables at a market. He purchases 6 pounds of potatoes, p, and 3 pounds of onions, n, for $18. Onions cost twice a

ad-work [718]

Answer:

The equation 2n = p should be 2p = n.
The actual cost of the onions is $3.00 per pound.
Potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording "onions cost twice as much as potatoes" is understood to mean the cost per pound of onions (n) is equal to two times the cost per pound of potatoes (2p). Then the appropriate equation would be ...

2p = n

Then the solution is ...

6p +3(2p) = 18

12p = 18

p = 18/12 = 1.50

n = 2p = 2(1.50) = 3.00

The equation should be 2p = n; onions cost $3.00 per pound; potatoes cost $1.50 per pound.

Borland, Inc., has a profit margin of 5.6 percent on sales of $13.6 million. If the firm has debt of $6.4 million and total asse

aniked [119]

Answer:

ROA = 7.77 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

Borland, Inc., has a profit margin of 5.6 percent on sales of $13.6 million

Thus, profit = 5.6% of $13.6 million

profit = 5.6 / 100 * $13.6 million = $0.7616 million

Profit is same as net income

Formula for ROA (return on asset) = net income/ total asset

total asset as given = $9.8 million

Thus, ROA = $0.7616/ $9.8 = 0.0777

ROA in percentage = 0.0777*100 = 7.77

Thus, ROA is 7.77 percent .

What is the inverse of f(x)=2^x

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=2^x$

$y = {2}^{x}$

$x = {2}^{y}$

${2}^{y} = x$

$ln( {2}^{y} )=ln(x)$

$yln(2)=ln(x)$

<h3> $\frac{yln(2)}{ln(2)} = \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}$ </h3><h3> $y = \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}$ </h3><h3> ${f}^{ - 1} (x) = \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}$ </h3><h3>Hope it is helpful...</h3>

<em>Answer is </em><em>given below with explanations</em><em>. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

$given \: the \: line \: n \: passes \: through \\ \: ( - 3, - 7.5) \: \: and(2, - 5) \\ the \: equation \: of \: the \: line \: is \\ \frac{y - y1}{y2 - y1} = \frac{x - x1}{x2 - x1} \\ here \: x1 = - 3 \: \: \: y1 = - 7.5 \\ and \: \: x2 = 2 \: \: \: y2 = - 5 \\ \frac{y - ( - 7.5)}{ - 5 - ( - 7.5)} = \frac{x - ( - 3)}{2 - ( - 3)} \\ \frac{y + 7.5}{ - 5 + 7.5} = \frac{x + 3}{2 + 3} \\ \frac{y + 7.5}{2.5} = \frac{x + 3}{5} \\ dividing \: by \: 5 \: on \: both \: side s\\ \frac{y + 7.5}{0.5} = \frac{x + 3}{1} \\ 0.5(x + 3) = y + 7.5 \\ 0.5x + 1.5 = y + 7.5 \\ 0.5x - y - 6 = 0 \\ is \: the \: required \: equation.$
