Question: <span>2^x * 3^y = 72, what is x + y?                                                                       Solution: x=3 and y=2/ 2^x * 3^y= 72 = 2^3 * 3^2= 72                                                   So, if x=3 and y=2 then, 3+2 =5                                                                               The answer: x+y= 5</span>

Solve for x and solve for y
2^x*3^y=72
divide both sides by 3^y
2^x=72/(3^y)
take the log₂ of both sides
x=log₂(72/(3^y))
x=log₂72-log₂3^y
x=log₂(18*2^2)-ylog₂3
x=log₂18+log₂2^2-ylog₂3
x=log₂18+2log₂2-ylog₂3
x=log₂18+2-ylog₂3

solve for y
2^x*3^y=72
divide both sides by 2^x
3^y=72/(2^x)
take log₃ of both sides
y=log₃(72/(2^x))
y=log₃72-log₃2^x
y=log₃(3^2*8)-xlog₃2
y=log₃3^2+log₃8-xlog₃2
y=2log₃3+log₃8-xlog₃2
y=2+log₃8-xlog₃2
so x+y=log₂18+2-ylog₂3+2+log₃8-xlog₃2
x+y=log₂18-ylog₂3+log₃8-xlog₃2+4

Crank
First, we get the standard error of the mean using
σm = σ / √N
= 5 / √100
= 0.5

Next, we subtract and add 1.96 standard deviations from the mean (since the confidence interval is 95%). So,
8 ±1.96 (0.5)
= 8 <span>± 0.98

The product of a number and 7 is less than 28.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

3.9 or less

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because 4 times 7 is equal to 28, so it has to be less than that!

I'm given 10=log(x) and I'm supposed to find the x-intercept.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

  x = 10^10

Step-by-step explanation:

You are right to question the question. As posed, it makes no sense.

The idea of an x-intercept is applicable to a relation involving two variables that can be graphed on a coordinate plane.

If you graph this equation on an x-y plane, it will be a vertical line at x = 10^10, so that would be the x-intercept.

_____

I suggest you ask for an explanation from your teacher.

_____

The graph of y=log(x) is something else entirely, as you know. The x-intercept of that graph is x=1.
