Answer:

C) 7

===========================================

Work Shown:

Use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plug in the given slope we want m = -5/3 and also the coordinates of the points. Then isolate r

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

-5/3 = (2-r)/(r-4)

-5(r-4) = 3(2-r) .... cross multiplying

-5r+20 = 6-3r

-5r+20+5r = 6-3r+5r .... adding 5 to both sides

20 = 6+2r

20-6 = 6+2r-6 ....subtracting 6 from both sides

14 = 2r

2r = 14

2r/2 = 14/2 .... dividing both sides by 2

r = 7

The slope of the line through (4,7) and (7,2) should be -5/3, let's check that

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-7)/(7-4)

m = -5/3

The answer is confirmed

consider the equation is Y equals 1/square root of x and y=x-2. approximate solution of the system equations

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

$x=1$ and $x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following system of equations:

$y=\sqrt{x}$ and $y=x-2$

To solve the problem, we need to equal the two equations:

$x-2=\sqrt{x}$ ⇒ $(x-2)^{2} =x$ ⇒ $x^{2} -4x + 4 = x$

⇒ $x^{2} -5x + 4 = 0$

So you need to find two numbers that added equal to 5 and multiplied equal to 4. These two numbers are $x=-1$ and $x=-4$ .

Then, the factorized form of the polynomial is: $(x-1)(x-4)$ .

The, the solution to the system of equations is: $x=1$ and $x=4$ .

Which logarithmic equation is equivalent to the exponential equation below?

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

$log_e^{67.21}= a$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is ,

$\implies 67.21 = e^a$

Here e is the Euler's Number . The log which are defined on the base e are called Natural logarithms.

Say if we have a expoteintial equation ,

$\implies a^m = n$

In logarithmic form it is ,

$\implies log_a^n = m$

Similarly our required answer will be ,

$\implies\boxed{ log_e^{67.21}= a }$
