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))

harry invests £6000 in a savings account. the account pays 3.4% compound interest per year. work out the value of his investment
Nataly_w [17]

Invested amount (P0 = £6000.

Rate of interest (r) = 3.4% = 0.034.

We know compound interest formula

A = P(1+r)^t

We need work out the value of his investment per year.

So, we need to plug t=1 and plugging values of P and r in the formula above, we get

A = 6000(1+0.034)^1

A = 6000(1.034)

A = 6204.

<h3>Therefore, the value of his investment per year is £ 6204.</h3>

Now, we need to work out the value of his investment after 3 years.

So, we need to plug t=3.

A = 6000(1+0.034)^3

A = 6000(1.034)^3

1.034^3=1.105507304

A = 6000 × 1.105507304

A = 6633.04

<h3>Therefore, the value of his investment after 3 year is  £ 6633.04.</h3>

The diagram shows the ages and the secondhand prices of 10 cars
EleoNora [17]

From the graph, the coordinates of the cross that represent this car on the graph are ( 8, 2100).

<h3>What is the correlation coefficient?</h3>

The correlation coefficient is a measure of how similar two datasets are acting.

When the correlation coefficient comes out as -1, it means that both the datasets are negatively oppositely correlated.

One data increases and other data starts to decrease in the opposite direction.

When the correlation coefficient comes out below 0, values are negatively correlated.

The correlation shown by the graph is negative.

From the graph, the coordinates of the cross that represent this car on the graph are ( 8, 2100).

In order to determine the average price of hotel rooms in Atlanta, a sample of 64 hotels was selected. It was determined that th
deff fn [24]

Answer:

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that the average room price is significantly different from $108.50

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is  n = 64

    The average price is  \= x  = \$ 112

    The population standard deviation is  \sigma  = \$ 16

     The level of significance is  \alpha  = 0.05

    The population mean is  \mu = \$ 108.5

The null hypothesis is  H_o :  \mu = 108.50

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a  :  \mu \ne  108.50

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

       z = \frac{\= x - \mu }{ \frac{ \sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }

=>    z = \frac{112 - 108.50 }{ \frac{ 16}{\sqrt{64} } }  

=>    z = 1.75

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to  1.75  is  

       P( Z >  1.75) = 0.040059

Generally  p-value is mathematically represented as

        p-value = 2 * P( Z >  1.75)

=>     p-value = 2 * 0.040059

=>     p-value = 0.08012

From the values obtained we see that  p-value  > \alpha hence

The decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is  

There is no sufficient evidence to show that the average room price is significantly different from $108.50
