Use trigonometry to find your answer
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try the answers to see which works. (The first one does.)
Or, you can solve for the variable:
Divide by 75
... (1/5)^(x/5) = 3/75 = 1/25
Recognize that 25 = 5^2, so ...
... (1/5)^(x/5) = (1/5)^2
Equating exponents, you have
... x/5 = 2
... x = 10 . . . . . multiply by 5
_____
You can also start by taking logarithms:
... log(75) +(x/5)log(1/5) = log(3)
... (x/5)log(1/5) = log(3) -log(75) = log(3/75) = log(1/25) . . . . simplify the log
... x/5 = log(1/25)/log(1/5) = 2 . . . . . simplify (or evaluate) the log expression
... x = 10 . . . . . multiply by 5
_____
"Equating exponents" is essentially the same as taking logarithms.
Answer:
y-x
Step-by-step explanation:
I assumed you meant that you wanted me to rewrite the expression without the absolute value signs. Since the absolute value of a number will be the same whichever way you place the numbers, you can rewrite |x-y| as y-x, as x is less than y.

Answer:</h3>
It would be 21b² -32b -5
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
By using the FOIL method, you can simplify the equation.
<em>The Foil Method is </em><u><em>ac + ad + bc +bd</em></u><em>, or </em><u><em>First, Outer, Inner, Last.</em></u>
First, you multiply the first term in each bracket.
3b * 7b = 21b²
Next, you multiply the outer term in each bracket.
3b * 1 = 3b
Then, you multiply the inner term in each bracket.
-5 * 7b = -35b
After that, you multiply the last term in each bracket.
-5 * 1 = -5
Lastly, you combine like terms.
21b² + 3b -35b -5 ---> 21b² -32b -5
<em>21b² -32b -5 would be your answer, since you cannot simplify the equation anymore.</em>
