Happy New Year from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

n = log(76/25) / log(5)

Discussion:

5^n -3 = 1/25 => (add 3 to both sides)

5^n = 3 + 1/25 = 73/25 + 1/25 = 76/25 (take log;s of both sides)

log(5^n) = log (76/25) =>

n log(5) = log(76/25) =>

n = log(76/25) / log(5)

Thank you,

MrB

The sandwich shop offers combo meals with a choice of one sandwich, one side, and one drink. On total there are 560 combos avail

Leto [7]

There are 7 sides available.

The fundamental counting principal tells us to find the total number of combinations of independent items, multiply the number of choices from each one (choices x choices x....)

This means that drink x sides x sandwiches = 560. We know there are 16 sandwiches and 5 drinks. Let S be the number of sides:
15(6)(S) = 560
80S = 560

Divide both sides by 80:
80S = 560/80
S = 7

In a shipment of 56 vials, only 13 do not have hairline cracks. If you randomly select 3 vials from the shipment, in how many wa

Elden [556K]

Answer: 27434

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total number of vials = 56

Number of vials that do not have hairline cracks = 13

Then, Number of vials that have hairline cracks =56-13=43

Since , order of selection is not mattering here , so we combinations to find the number of ways.

The number of combinations of m thing r things at a time is given by :-

$^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

Now, the number of ways to select at least one out of 3 vials have a hairline crack will be :-

$^{13}C_2\cdot ^{43}C_{1}+^{13}C_{1}\cdot ^{43}C_{2}+^{13}C_0\cdot ^{43}C_{3}\\\\=\dfrac{13!}{2!(13-2)!}\cdot\dfrac{43!}{1!(42)!}+\dfrac{13!}{1!(12)!}\cdot\dfrac{43!}{2!(41)!}+\dfrac{13!}{0!(13)!}\cdot\dfrac{43!}{3!(40)!}\\\\=\dfrac{13\times12\times11!}{2\times11!}\cdot (43)+(13)\cdot\dfrac{43\times42\times41!}{2\times41!}+(1)\dfrac{43\times42\times41\times40!}{6\times40!}\\\\=3354+11739+12341=27434$

Hence, the required number of ways =27434

Please help solve: Graph y-4=2(x-2)

xeze [42]

Answer:

Graph y = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's get the equation into standard form. Distribute the 2 on the right.

$y-4=2x-4$

Next, we want the variable "y" to be alone, so we at 4 to both sides.

$y-4+(4)=2x-4+(4)\\\\y=2x$

That is our equation in standard y = mx + b form. "m" is our slope, while "b" is our y-intercept. Above , we don't have a value for b, therefore the line passes through the origin.

We do, however, have a slope, which can be thought of as $\frac{rise}{run}$ or rise over run. To represent this, we can rewrite our slope as:

$y=\frac{2}{1}x$

Meaning in each interval, the line goes up by 2 units, and moves forward by 1.
