14^(7x) = 17^(-8-x)
Take the log of both sides:
7x*log 14 = -(8+x)*log 17, or 7x^log 14 = -8*log 17 - x*log 17.
Grouping the x terms, we get x(7*log 14 + log 17)= -8*log 17
Then:
-8*log 17
x= -------------------------- (answer)
7*log 14 + log 17
Answer:
(b)
Step-by-step explanation:
When two p and q events are independent then, by definition:
P (p and q) = P (p) * P (q)
Then, if q and r are independent events then:
P(q and r) = P(q)*P(r) = 1/4*1/5
P(q and r) = 1/20
P(q and r) = 0.05
In the question that is shown in the attached image, we have two separate urns. The amount of white balls that we take in the first urn does not affect the amount of white balls we could get in the second urn. This means that both events are independent.
In the first ballot box there are 9 balls, 3 white and 6 yellow.
Then the probability of obtaining a white ball from the first ballot box is:
In the second ballot box there are 10 balls, 7 white and 3 yellow.
Then the probability of obtaining a white ball from the second ballot box is:
We want to know the probability of obtaining a white ball in both urns. This is: P( and )
As the events are independent:
P( and ) = P () * P ()
P( and ) =
P( and ) =
Finally the correct option is (b)
Answer:
6.8(6.7 – 7.2) – 2(4.6 + 1.2) =-15
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The carpenter will need 84 square inches of wood.
In this problem we are looking for the surface area of the jewelry box. This box has 5 faces. The two triangles at each end and the 3 rectangle pieces between them.
The sides of the triangles are 3, 4, 5 which always forms a right triangle with legs of 3 and 4. Use the formula for the area of a triangle, we have 3 x 4 / 2 = 6. The area of each triangle is 6 square inches.
Now, the three sides, each one has a height of 6.
3 x 6 = 18
4 x 6 = 24
5 x 6 = 30
If we add all the sides together, we get an area of 84 square inches.
6 + 6 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 84
Answer:
separate the x from the numbers it will make the equation easier
