Why does it make sense that the radius decreases as the height increase?

Let R represent Ronald’s present age. Let M represent Miley’s present age. Three years from now, Ronald and Miley will be R+3 and M+3 years old, respectively.

Your assertion “Three years from now, Ron’s age will be 2 times that of Miley's” can be written as

R + 3 = 2*(M + 3)

Similarly, your assertion “Three years ago, Ron's age was 3 times that of Miley's” can be written as

R - 3 = 3*(M-3)

We can add the left side of these equations together, and also the right side of these equations together, and obtain a new equation …

R + 3 + R - 3 = 2*(M + 3) + 3*(M - 3) = 2M + 6 + 3M - 9 = 5M - 3

This can be simplified to

2R = 5M - 3

We can divide both sides of the last equation by 2, and obtain ..

(2/2) * R = (5/2) * M - 3/2, or R = (5/2) * M - 3/2.

Now we can “plug in” the last equation into either of our first two equations of this post, and solve for M.

Using the first equation, we have

(5/2) * M - 3/2 + 3 = 2 *(M + 3) = 2M + 6

We now have

(5/2) * M + 3/2 = 2M + 6

The left side of this equation can be rewritten as

(5M + 3) / 2, so we obtain

(5M + 3) / 2 = 2M + 6

Multiplying both sides by 2, we have

5M + 3 = 4M + 12

Subtracting 4M and 3 from both sides, we obtain

M = 9

Miley’s present age is 9.

Can someone explain the process getting from:

spin [16.1K]

$\rm 5=e^{3b}$

The unknown b is stuck in the exponent position.
We can can fix that by using logarithms.
Log is the inverse operation of the exponential.

We'll take log of each side.
Log of what base tho?

Well, the base of our exponential is e,
so we'll take log base e of each side.

$\rm log_e(5)=log_e(e^{3b})$

We'll apply one of our log rules next:
$\rm \log(x^y)=y\cdot\log(x)$

This allows us to take the exponent out of the log,

$\rm log_e(5)=(3b)log_e(e)$

Another thing to remember about logs:
When the base of the log matches the inside of the log,
then the whole thing is simply 1,
$\rm log_{10}(10)=1$
$\rm log_5(5)=1$
$\rm log_e(e)=1$

So our equation simplifies to this,

$\rm log_e(5)=(3b)\cdot1$

As a final step, divide both sides by 3,

$\rm \frac13log_e(5)=b$

k, hope that helps!
