The answer is: " 50 " .
__________________________________________________

Note: 1.5% = (1.5)/100 = 1.5 ÷ 100 = 0.015 ;

0.75 = (0.015)x ; solve for "x" ;

↔   (0.015)x = 0.75 ;

Multiply EACH SIDE of the equation by "1000" ; to simplify:

15x = 750 ;

Divide each side of the equation by "15" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;

15x / 15 = 750 / 15 ;

to get: x = 50 ; which is our answer.
____________________________________
Let us check: 0.75 = (0.015)x ; does this hold true when "x = 50" ?

→ 0.75 = (0.015)x ;

↔ (0.015)x = 0.75 ;

  → Plug in "50" for "x" to see if the equation holds true;

  → (0.015)*(50) = ? 0.75 ??

→ Check using calculator ;

→ (0.015)*(50) = 0.75 . Yes!

Given: The expression below

$\begin{gathered} (\frac{(3x^3y^4)^3}{(3x^2y^2)^2})^2 \\ (\frac{(3x^4y^2)^4}{(3x^5y^2)^3})^2 \end{gathered}$

To Determine: The matching expression to the given expressions

Solution

Let us simplify each of the expressions using exponents rule

$\begin{gathered} Exponent-Rule1=(a^m)^n=a^{m\times n} \\ Exponent-Rule2=(\frac{a^m}{a^n})=a^{m-n} \end{gathered}$

Applying the exponent rule 1 above to the given expressions

$\begin{gathered} (3x^3y^4)^3=3^3x^{3\times3}y^{4\times3}=27x^9y^{12} \\ (3x^2y^2)^2=3^2x^{2\times2}y^{2\times2}=9x^4y^4 \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} (3x^4y^2)^4=3^4x^{4\times4}y^{2\times4}=81x^{16}y^8 \\ (3x^5y^2)^3=3^3x^{5\times3}y^{2\times3}=27x^{15}y^6 \end{gathered}$

Applying the exponent rule 2

$\frac{(3x^{3}y^{4})^{3}}{(3x^{2}y^{2})^{2}}=\frac{27x^9y^{12}}{9x^4y^4}=\frac{27}{9}x^{9-4}y^{12-4}=3x^5y^8$ $\frac{(3x^{4}y^{2})^{4}}{(3x^{5}y^{2})^{3}}=\frac{81x^{16}y^8}{27x^{15}y^6}=\frac{81}{27}x^{16-15}y^{8-6}=3xy^2$

Let us not apply exponent rule 1 above

$(\frac{(3x^{3}y^{4})^{3}}{(3x^{2}y^{2})^{2}})^2=(3x^5y^8)^2=3^2x^{5\times2}y^{8\times2}=9x^{10}y^{16}$ $(\frac{(3x^{4}y^{2})^{4}}{(3x^{5}y^{2})^{3}})^2=(3xy^2)^2=3^2x^2y^{2\times2}=9x^2y^4$

Hence, the matching is as shown below

Let L be the line with parametric equations x=2+t, y=1-t, z=1+3t.Let v=(1,2,0).Find vectors w1 and w2 such that v= w1 + w2, and

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

w1 = (-1/11, 1/11, -3/11)

w2 = (12/11, 21/11, 3/11)

Step-by-step explanation:

Direction ratio of w1 = Direction ratio of L (because parallel) = K+(1, -1, 3)

Let <a,b,c> be direction ratio of w2.

Then, <a,b,c>. <1,-1,3> = 0

a-b+3c = 0

v = w1 + w2

(1, 2, 0) = k(1, -1, 3) + (a, b, c)

a + k = 1

b - K = 2

c - 3k = 0

Solving 4 equations, a = 12/11, b= 21/11, c = 3/11, k=-1/11

So, w1 = -1/11(1, -1 ,3) = (-1/11, 1/11, -3/11)

w2 = (12/11, 21/11, 3/11)

Find Values of X and Y for No. 19

Crazy boy [7]

So you need to find y in terms of x. But later, since the 12x and -12x cancel each other out. X can be any real number. And y. Depends on what real number x is.
