Let the dimensions be x and y

Given that the area is 40m²
xy = 40 ----------------- (1)

Given that the perimeter is 26
2(x + y) = 26
x + y = 13
x = 13 - y ---------------- Sub into (1)

(13 - y)y = 40
13y - y² = 40
y² - 13y + 40 = 0
(y - 8)(y - 5) = =
y = 8 or y = 5

The dimensions are 8 meters and 5 meters

puteri [66]

Answer:

Western U gets 20 million

Norther U gets 40 million

Eastern U gets 50 million

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the amount each university gets.

Let

Northern U get n

Western U get w

Eastern U get e

We can write equations from the given word problem:

n + w + e = 110

and

n = 2w

e = n + w - 10

Putting 2nd in 3rd, we get:

e = 2w + w - 10

e = 3w - 10

Now putting this and 2nd in first, we solve for w:

n + w + e = 110

2w + w + 3w - 10 = 110

6w = 120

w = 20

AND n = 2 (20) = 40

AND e = 3(20) - 10 = 50

So,

Western U gets 20 million

Norther U gets 40 million

Eastern U gets 50 million

Logarithms are studied for which of the following​ reasons? A. To help in solving exponential equations when relating the bases
skad [1K]

Answer:

To help in solving exponential equations when relating the bases cannot be used

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall an equation of the form

a^{x}=b\\ from the expression a^{x}\\, a\\ is the base and the power is {x}\\.

a\neq b\\ it is impossible to carryout the operation since the bases are not equal.

This is where we implore the help of logarithm which help us to bring the base to a come base i.e using the property below

loga^{x}=logb\\x=\frac{logb}{loga} \\.

Hence we can conclude that logarithm helps in solving equations when bases cannot easily be related.
