Step-by-step explanation:

$(x^2-3x+1)^{(2x^2+x-6)}=1\ we \ take \ the \ logarithm\\\\(2x^2+x-6)*ln(x^2-3x+1)=0\\\\(2x^2+x-6)=0\ or\ x^2-3x+1=1\\\\1)\\2x^2+x-6=0\\2x^2+4x-3x-6=0\\2x(x+2)-3(x+2)=0\\(x+2)(2x-3)\\x=-2\ or\ x=\dfrac{3}{2} \\\\2)\\x^2-3x=0\\x(x-3)=0\\x=0\ or\ x=3\\\\sol=\{-2,0,\dfrac{3}{2},3\}\\$

A bus driver pays all tolls, using only nickels and dimes, by throwing one coin at a time into the mechanical toll collector.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer: a) An = An-1 + An-2

b) 55ways

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a nickel is 5 cents and a dime is 10cent so a multiple of 5 cents is the possible way to pay the tolls in both choices.

Let An represents the number of possible ways the driver can pay a toll of 5n cents, so that

An = 5n cents

Case 1: Using a nickel for payment which is 5 cents, the number of ways given as;

An-1 = 5( n-1)

Case 2: using a dime which is two 5 cents, the number of ways is given as;

An-2 = 5(n-2)

Summing up the number of ways, we have

An = An-1 + An-2

From the relation,

If n= 0, Ao= 1

n =1, A1= 1

b) 45 cents paid in multiples of 5cents will give us 9 ways(A9)

From the relation, we have that

Ao = 1

A1 = 1

An =An-1 + An-2

Ao = 1

A1 = 1

A2 = A1+Ao = 1+1= 2

A3 = A2 + A1 = 3

A4 = A3+A2=5

A5=A4+A3=8

A6=A5+A4=13

A7 =A6+A5 = 21

A8= A7+A6= 34

A9= A8+A7= 55

So there are 55ways to pay 45cents.

Coordinates (x, y)
Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (2, 5)

Point (-3, 7)

Step 2: Identify

x₁ = 2, y₁ = 5

x₂ = -3, y₂ = 7

Step 3: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

Substitute in points [Slope Formula]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{7-5}{-3-2}$
[Slope] [Fraction] Subtract: $\displaystyle m=\frac{2}{-5}$
[Slope] [Fraction] Rewrite: $\displaystyle m=\frac{-2}{5}$
