the answer is 7 feet and 5 inches
Answer:
x ≈ -4.419
Step-by-step explanation:
Separate the constants from the exponentials and write the two exponentials as one. (This puts x in one place.) Then use logarithms.
0 = 2^(x-1) -3^(x+1)
3^(x+1) = 2^(x-1) . . . . . add 3^(x+1)
3×3^x = (1/2)2^x . . . . .factor out the constants
(3/2)^x = (1/2)/3 . . . . . divide by 3×2^x
Take the log:
x·log(3/2) = log(1/6)
x = log(1/6)/log(3/2) . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
x ≈ -4.419

A graphing calculator is another tool that can be used to solve this. I find it the quickest and easiest.

<em>Comment on alternate solution</em>
Once you get the exponential terms on opposite sides of the equal sign, you can take logs at that point, if you like. Then solve the resulting linear equation for x.
(x+1)log(3) = (x-1)log(2)
x=(log(2)+log(3))/(log(2)-log(3))

Given
Base Dimension


Required
The base area of all containers
First, calculate the base area of 1 container.
This is calculated as:


Express as improper fraction

So, we have:


The number of containers is not given. So, I will use 'n' as the number of containers.
So, we have:

Assume n is 3 (i.e. 3 containers)
The total area is:

Answer:
B. 7 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a cube is denoted by: A = 6s², where s is the side length.
Here, we know that A = 294 in², so plug this into the equation to solve for s:
A = 6s²
294 = 6s²
s² = 49
s = √49 = 7
The answer is thus B, 7 inches.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number in scientific notation you want to find how many times you have to move the decimal to get the decimal to be right after the first non-zero number. If you move to the left the exponent is positive and if you move it to the right the exponent is negative. The answer would be
