Answer: (1/3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let O(x,y) be the circumference of the triangle PQR,

Thus, by the property of circumcenter all the vertices of the triangle are at same distance from this circumcenter.

Thus, PO = QO

By the distance formula,

(x+2)^2+(y-5)^2 = (x-4)^2+(y-1)^2

\impliesx^2+ 4x + 4 + y^2+ 25 - 10 y = x^2+16 - 8 x + y^2+1 - 2y

\implies 4x + 4 + 25 - 10 y = 16 - 8 x + 1 - 2y

\implies 4x +8x-10y+2y = 16 + 1 -25-4

\implies 12x - 8y = 17 - 29

\implies 12 x - 8 y = - 12---------(1)

Similarly, QO = RO

\implies (x-4)^2 + (y-1)^2 = (x+2)^2+(y+3)^2

\implies x^2 + 16 - 8x + y^2+ 1 - 2y = x^2+ 4 + 4 x +y^2+ 9 + 6 y

\implies 16 - 8x + 1 - 2y = 4 + 4 x + 9 + 6 y

\implies - 8x -4x-2y-6y=4+9-16-1

\implies -12 x - 8 y = 13 - 17

\implies 12 x + 8 y = 4   ------------(2)

By adding equation (1) and (2),

24 x = - 8

x = 1/3

By putting this value in equation (1),

We get,

Thus, 4 - 8 y = -12

8 y = 16

y = 2

If Log 20 = 1.301 what is the value of Logsub100 20?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

log_{100}20 = 0.6505

Step-by-step explanation:

log20 = 1.301 (when you see only "log" with no base, it is taken as a base 10)

This basically means:

10^{1.301} = 20  (This is the log in exponential form)

Since we don't know what  log_{100}20  is equal to, we will say  log_{100}20 = x

So to solve for log_{100}20 = x, you do the same thing. (convert to exponential form)

100^{x} =20

Now you will notice that both of these equations are equal to 20.

Since 20 = 20,

we can say 100^{x} = 10^{1.301}

Another way of saying 100, is 10^{2} (make the bases the same)

Now we get 10^{2x} = 10^{1.301}      

(we get 2x because an exponent to the power of an exponent (2^{x}) is the same as 2 * x)

Because you have the same base, you can just ignore the 10s and focus on the exponents. So you get:

2x = 1.301

x = 0.6505

5/g=n because the denominator is always the total amount and g is the total amount of granola bars in the box. And the 5 comes from the amount of kids that received the bars and the n is on the outside because your looking for that amount. I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense, i tried my best to explain.
