What function is the inverse of the exponential function y = (1.5)x?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Correct question is;

What function is the inverse of the exponential function y = 1.5^(x)?

Answer:

y = log_1.5_x

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse of exponential functions is usually written in form of logarithm.

For example inverse of y = p^(x) will be written as; y = log_p_(x)

Similarly applying this same pattern to our exponential function y = 1.5^(x), we have the inverse as;

y = log_1.5_x

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of minutes it would take colleen to finish the job when he is working alone. Hence, it can be represented by the equation:

$\frac{1}{c}+\frac{1}{c+20} =\frac{1}{24} \\\\Finding\ the\ L.C.M\ of\ the\ fraction\ to\ get\ 24c(c+20)\ as\ the\ L.C.M.\\Multiply\ the\ whole\ equation\ by\ 24c(c+20):\\\\\frac{1}{c}(24c(c+20))+\frac{1}{c+20}(24c(c+20)) =\frac{1}{24}(24c(c+20)) \\\\24c+480+24c=c^2+20c\\\\48c+480=c^2+20c\\\\c^2+20c-48c-480=0\\\\c^2-28c-480=0$
