The sales tax rate would be 7%
23.54 - 22 = 1.54
1.54 / 22 = .07
.07 = 7%
Exponentail thingies
easy, look at all them them, see that they have 5 in common?
rremember how esay it was to factor
ax^2+bx+c=0
now we have
5^(2x)-6(5^x)+5=0
remember that 5^(2x)=(5^2)^x or (5^x)^2
in other words, we can rewrite it as
1(5^x)^2-6(5^x)+5=0
if yo want, replace 5^x with a and factor
1a^2-6a+5=0
(a-1)(a-5)=0
a=5^x
(5^x-1)(5^x-5)=0
set each to zero
5^x-1=0
5^x=1
take the log₅ of both sides
x=log₅1
5^x-4=0
5^x=4
take the log₅ of both sides
x=log₅4
x=log₅1 and/or log₅4
second quesiton
same thing
1(2^x)-10(2^x)+16=0
factor
(2^x-8)(2^x-2)=0
set each to zero
2^x-8=9
2^x=8
x=3
2^x-2=0
2^x=2
x=1
x=3 or 1
first one
x=log₅1 and/or log₅4
second one
x=1 and/or 3
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
y + 2 = 1 (x+3) ............> y + 2 = x + 3
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
<u>The general form of the equation of a line in point-slope form is:</u>
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
<u>where:</u>
m is the slope of the line
(x₁ , y₁) is a point that belongs to the line
<u>The general form of the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:</u>
y = mx + c
<u>where:</u>
m is the slope
c is the y-intercept
<u>1- Getting the point:</u>
We are already given the point (-3 , -2) so we'll directly use it
<u>2- Getting the slope</u>
<u>We are given that our line is parallel to the line:</u>
y = 1x - 7
We know that parallel lines have equal slopes
<u>This means that:</u>
slope of the line we want = 1
<u>3- Getting the equation:</u>
Substitute with the point and slope in the above form to get the equation
<u>This is done as follows:</u>
y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)
y - (-2) = 1 (x - (-3))
y + 2 = 1 (x + 3)
y + 2 = x + 3
Hope this helps :)
Loretta:
Average driving speed = 55 mph
Time = 4 hours
Distance traveled = 55*4 = 220 miles
Dad:
Average driving speed = 65 mph
Let x = hours driven
Distance traveled = 65x miles
The length of the trip is 610 miles, therefore
65x + 220 = 610
65x = 390
x = 6 hours
Answer: Loretta's dad drove for 6 hours.
<u>Answer:</u>
- A: (Negative 3 and one-half, 2 and one-half)
<u>Solution:</u>
On a graph, left would be a negative and up would be a positive. Hence the answer is A as none of the others are using the correct numbers.
Hope this helped!
