Answer:

y = (3/2)x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the general equation for a linear function may be written in slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

where m = slope and b = y-intercept

In this case, it is given that slope = m = 3/2 and y-intercept = b = -12

substituting these values into the general equation:

y = (3/2)x + (-12)

or

y = (3/2)x - 12

Burka [1]

Answer:

$300,000.04\ people$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find how many people live in that city multiply the population density by the area of the city

so

$(46\ \frac{people}{mi^{2}})(6,521.74\ mi^{2})=300,000.04\ people$

Intersection point of Y=logx and y=1/2log(x+1)

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The intersection is $(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},\log(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$ .

The Problem:

What is the intersection point of $y=\log(x)$ and $y=\frac{1}{2}\log(x+1)$ ?

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the intersection of $y=\log(x)$ and $y=\frac{1}{2}\log(x+1)$ , we will need to find when they have a common point; when their $x$ and $y$ are the same.

Let's start with setting the $y$ 's equal to find those $x$ 's for which the $y$ 's are the same.

$\log(x)=\frac{1}{2}\log(x+1)$

By power rule:

$\log(x)=\log((x+1)^\frac{1}{2})$

Since $\log(u)=\log(v)$ implies $u=v$ :

$x=(x+1)^\frac{1}{2}$

Squaring both sides to get rid of the fraction exponent:

$x^2=x+1$

This is a quadratic equation.

Subtract $(x+1)$ on both sides:

$x^2-(x+1)=0$

$x^2-x-1=0$

Comparing this to $ax^2+bx+c=0$ we see the following:

$a=1$

$b=-1$

$c=-1$

Let's plug them into the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1+4}}{2}$

$x=\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2}$

So we have the solutions to the quadratic equation are:

$x=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ or $x=\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}$ .

The second solution definitely gives at least one of the logarithm equation problems.

Example: $\log(x)$ has problems when $x \le 0$ and so the second solution is a problem.

So the $x$ where the equations intersect is at $x=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ .

Let's find the $y$ -coordinate.

You may use either equation.

I choose $y=\log(x)$ .

$y=\log(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$

The intersection is $(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},\log(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$ .
