E^2x - 5e^x = 24

(e^x)^2 - 5e^x =24

let e^x = u

u^2 - 5u = 24

u^2 -5u - 24 =0

(u - 8)(u+3)=0

u = 8 or u = -3

since e^x = u then u can't equal -3

e^x = 8

by taking ln for both sides

ln(e^x) = ln(8)

xln(e) = ln(8) .......................ln(e) = 1

x = ln(8) = 3ln(2)

Solve for y in the given equation 2y - 24 = 14y Answer are 8y -8y -2 2

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we subtract 2y on both sides:

-24 = 12y

Then, we divide 12 on both sides:

y = -2

And we're done ^^ hope this helps!

(a) The parametric equations x = f(t) and y = g(t) give the coordinates of a point (x, y) = (f(t), g(t)) for appropriate values

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Given a parametric equation, we are describing a set of coordinates based on the value of t. The variable t is called the parameter.

b) we have the following equations. x=t y=t^2, so in order for us to know where the object is at t=t' we must replace t with the specific value t'. Hence, when t=0 the object is at (0,0^2) = (0,0) (the origin). When t=6, the object is at (6,6^2) = (6,36).

c). To eliminate the parameter, we replace the parameter in one equation by using the second equation. Recall that we have that x=t. Then, by replacing in the second equation, we have the following

$y=t^2 = (x)^2 = x^2$
