Answer;

-4.8 ounces for each pork chop 

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

1 pound is equivalent to 16 ounces

Therefore, a 3 pound pork loin is equivalent to;

= 3 × 16

= 48 ounces

Since, they can be cut into 10 pork chops of equal weight, then;

Each pork chop will weigh;

= 48 ounces/10

= 4.8 ounces

Each pork chop will weigh 4.8 ounces

Information reference tables what is the solution set of the equation log4 (x2 + 3x) − log4 (x + 5) = 1?

faust18 [17]

Use this property of logarithms:

$\log_b\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right)=\log_b x-\log_b y$

Your equation transforms into:

$log_4\left(\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5}\right)=1$

Now, you have to apply the definition of a logarithm to express the equation in exponential form:

$\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5} = 4^1$

In case you don't remember, this is the definition of a logarithm:

$\log_b x = y \iff b^y = x$

The log is the exponent (y) you have to raise the base (b) to in order to get the power (x).

Finally, solve the rational equation:

$\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5} =4 \iff x^2+3x=4(x+5)$
$\iff x^2-x-20=0$
$\iff x=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4\cdot(-20)}}{2}= \left \{ {{5} \atop {-4}} \right.$

The correct answer is d.

Use the net as an aid to compute the surface area (rounded to the nearest integer) of the triangular pyramid with an equilateral

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Correct answer is $C)\ 254\ m^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given diagram, we know the following details:

Height of the triangular pyramid is 14m.

Side of base = 10m

Height of Triangular base = 8.7m

Formula for surface area of triangular pyramid:

$\text{Area = Area of Triangular base + 3 }\times\text{Area of side triangle}$

(Triangular base is shown in the dotted lines in the question figure.

The other 3 triangles are the side triangles.)

We know that,

$\text{Area of a triangle = }\dfrac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Required Surface Area = } \dfrac{1}{2} \times 8.7 \times 10 + 3 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times 14 \times 10\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times (87 + 3 \times 140)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times (87 + 420)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2} \times 507\\$\approx$ 254 m^{2}$

Hence correct answer is $C)\ 254\ m^{2}$ .

How do you graph y=12/x

Tpy6a [65]

Answer: $\frac{12}{x}$ is an asymptote

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply a table, and plug in values of x into the equation. For example f(2)= $\frac{12}{2} =6$ . That's one of the points on the graph that we just found (2,6)

1. Use trigonometry to work out the value of x. Not drawn accurately. Help pls

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

20cos(39) or 15.543 (3 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use SOHCAHTOA
You want to find A and have an angle of 36° and H
So use CAH
cos(39) = x / 20
x = 20cos(39)
