Answer:

See explanation.

(Before continuing reading, I took the base to be 3. Please tell me if you didn't want the base to be 3.)

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume 3 is suppose to be the base. Let's list some values that can be written as 3 to some integer.

3^0=1

3^1=3

3^2=9

3^3=27

3^4=81

3^5=243

......

I could have also did negative integer powers, but this is all I really need to convince you that log_3(28) is between 3 and 4.

log_3(28) means the value x such that 3^x=28.

Since 28 is between 27 and 81 in my list above, that means 3^x is between 3^3 and 3^4. This means that x is a value between 3 and 4.

What is the slope of (8,3) and (-4,-6)?

Nonamiya [84]

<u>Answer:</u> The slope of the line formed by these two points is $\frac{3}{4}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To calculate the slope, we use the formula:

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

For the coordinates given:

$x_1=8\\y_1=3\\x_2=-4\\y_2=-6$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$Slope=\frac{(-6-3)}{(-4-8)}\\\\Slope=\frac{-9}{-12}\\\\Slope=\frac{3}{4}$

Hence, the slope of the line formed from these two coordinates is $\frac{3}{4}$

4. Suppose that you have an enormous grapefruit that is 92% water (by weight). The grapefruit weights 100 pounds. If the water c

Anton [14]

Answer:

80 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W₁ be the initial weight of water in the grapefruit, W₂ be the weight of water in the grapefruit after evaporation, and M be the total weight of the grapefruit after evaporation. Assuming that, originally, the grapefruit weighed 100 pounds with a 92% water content and the weight of the "non-water" part of the fruit (100 - W₁) does not change. The final weight of the grapefruit (M) is given by:

$W_1=0.92*100=92\\W_2=0.90*M\\W_2+(100-W_1) = M\\W_2=M-8\\(1-0.9)M=8\\M=80$

The grapefruit now weighs 80 pounds.
