1. a) Find the y-intercept of the line, then you find the slope the line, and then you can write the equation in y-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
y= x+70 is the equation
b) 70
c) 120
Answer:
1) 5.44, 2) 3.9
Step-by-step explanation:
1) a/b + 2b - a^2 when a = 1.4 and b = 0.2
plug in the values:
1.4/0.2 + 2(0.2) - (1.4)^2 = 7 + 0.4 - 1.96 = 5.44
2) a[b-2c]^3 - d/e when a = 2, b = -0.75, c = -1, d = 0, e = -12 5/7 (rewritten to -89/7 = 12.71)
again, plug in the values:
2[-0.75-2(-1)]^3 - 0/12.71 = 2[1.25]^3 - 0 = 2[1.95] = 3.9
Take the natural log of both sides
ln(2^x)=ln(.125)
Xln(2)=ln(.125)
X=ln(.125)/ln(2)
X=-3
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE:
You know that 0.125 is equal to 1/8
And 1/2^3 is also equal to 1/8
So since you need the reciprocal to match it the exponent is a negative
