Before calculators were around, why was it's advantageous to use logarithms to calculate roots

Mathematics

Because logarithms were a lot less time-consuming than other methods of finding roots. They were also more accurate in the sense that it was harder to make a mistake.

Kayson mixes 300 milliliters ( mL ) (mL) of spinach, 200mL of berries, and 42mL of dressing to make a salad. There are s s milli
BigorU [14]

Answer:

X= (300 s + 200 b + 42 d )mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of spinach=300 ml

Amount of berries =200 ml

amount of dressing = 42 ml

Vitamin C in one ml of spinach = s mg

Vitamin C in 300 ml of spinach = 300 s mg

Vitamin C in one ml of berries=b mg

Vitamin C in 200 ml of berries = 200 b mg

Vitamin C in one ml of dressing = d mg

Vitamin C in 42 ml of dressing = 42 d mg

Let total vitamin C be = x

Then

X= (300 s + 200 b + 42 d )mg

is the required expression

Answer:

2. The y-intercept is 33 ft. The ball is 33 feet away from the wall.  

3. It will take the ball 11 seconds to touch the wall.  

4. The slope is -3 ft. The ball is rolling toward the wall at 3 ft per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of seconds.

We are told that a ball is rolling at a rate of 3 ft per second toward a wall that is 33 feet away.  

Since the ball is rolling towards wall at a rate of 3 ft per second. This means that remaining distance between wall and ball is decreasing 3 ft with each passing second. Hence, the slope of our line will be negative 3 ft.

As initially ball was 33 feet away from wall, so our y-intercept will be 33.

Upon substituting our values in slope-intercept form of equation we will get equation of our line representing remaining distance between ball and wall after x seconds as:  

y=-3x+33

Let us find the number of seconds that ball will take to touch the wall by finding the x-intercept of our line. Since x-intercept is the point when line crosses x-axis and at this point y equals 0. The x-Intercept of a line is obtained by putting the value of y as zero in the equation of a line.

0=-3x+33

0-33=-3x+33-33

-33=-3x

\frac{-33}{-3}=\frac{-3x}{-3}

11=x

Therefore, after 11 seconds ball will touch the wall.

Upon looking at our choices we can see that 2nd, 3rd and 4th options are correct choices.

ABCD is a quadrilateral <br> Work out the length of BC <br> Give your answer to 1 decimal place
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagoras to find the length of BD- 7.5^2 +5^2=81.25

The square root of 81.25 is 9.01

BD-9.01 cm

Then use the cos rule to find BC.

c=a2+b2﹣2abcosγ=9.012+132﹣2·9.01·13·cos(38°)≈8.09819(square root)

round to 8.1
