Answer:

Friday.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bananas is reducing from 23 at a rate of 50% of the previous day's number.

Given that on Monday, Mary had 23 bananas and we are asked that on which day there will be only 1 banana will left.

Let after d days the remaining bananas will become one.

Therefore, 23[1-\frac{50}{100} ]^{d} = 1

⇒ (0.5)^{d} =\frac{1}{23}

Taking log both sides we get  

d \log 0.5 = \log (\frac{1}{23} )

⇒ d = 4.523 days.

Therefore, on Friday the remaining number of bananas will become 1. (Answer)

Solve the equation : 3x - 2 = 4x + 5<br>How many solutions are there?​
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x - 2 = 4x + 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

- x - 2 = 5 ( add 2 to both sides )

- x = 7 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 7 ← the one solution

Evaluate Dx / ^ 9-8x - x2^
Solnce55 [7]
It depends on what you mean by the delimiting carats "^"...

Since you use parentheses appropriately in the answer choices, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume something like "^x^" stands for \sqrt x.

In that case, you want to find the antiderivative,

\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt{9-8x-x^2}}

Complete the square in the denominator:

9-8x-x^2=25-(16+8x+x^2)=5^2-(x+4)^2

Now substitute x+4=5\sin y, so that \mathrm dx=5\cos y\,\mathrm dy. Then

\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt{9-8x-x^2}}=\int\frac{5\cos y}{\sqrt{5^2-(5\sin y)^2}}\,\mathrm dy

which simplifies to

\displaystyle\int\frac{5\cos &#10;y}{5\sqrt{1-\sin^2y}}\,\mathrm dy=\int\frac{\cos y}{\sqrt{\cos^2y}}\,\mathrm dy

Now, recall that \sqrt{x^2}=|x|. But we want the substitution we made to be reversible, so that

x+4=5\sin y\iff y=\sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x+4}5\right)

which implies that -\dfrac\pi2\le y\le\dfrac\pi2. (This is the range of the inverse sine function.)

Under these conditions, we have \cos y\ge0, which lets us reduce \sqrt{\cos^2y}=|\cos y|=\cos y. Finally,

\displaystyle\int\frac{\cos y}{\cos y}\,\mathrm dy=\int\mathrm dy=y+C

and back-substituting to get this in terms of x yields

\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{\sqrt{9-8x-x^2}}=\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x+4}5\right)+C

A car motercycle leaves at noon from the same location, heading in the same direction. The average speed of the car is 30mph slo
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

speed of motorcycle = 40 mph

speed of car = 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question

A car and a motorcycle leave at noon from the same location, heading in the same direction. The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the motorcycle. In two hours, the car is 20 miles ahead of the motorcycle. Find the speed of both the car and the motorcycle, in miles per hour.

Speed = distance / time

This question would be solved using simultaneous equation

let m =  average speed of the motorcycle

c = average speed of the car

c = 2m - 30  equation 1

20 =(c - m) x 2 equation 2

insert equation 1 into equation 2 and divide through by 2

10 = (2m - 30) - m

solve for m

m = 40 mph

substitute for m in equation 1

2(40) - 20 = 50 mph
