If 3 to the power of x+1 = 81 and 81 to the power of x-y = 3 then what is the value of x and y?

1 answer:

4 0

From 1st condition:

3^(x+1)=81
Take log on both sides,
➡ log [3^(x+1)]=log81
Use the property: log(x^a)=a logx
➡ (x+1) log 3=log(3⁴)
➡ (x+1) log 3=4×log 3
➡ (x+1)=4 (log 3 /log 3)
➡ x+1=4
➡ x=3➡↪➡↪ ANS

From 2nd condition, (Same process are repeated)

81^(x-y)=3
➡ 3^4(x-y)=3
➡ log [3^4(3-y)]=log 3
➡ 4(3-y) log 3=log 3
➡ (3-y)=(log 3)/(4log 3)
➡ 3-y=(1/4)
➡ y=11/4 ➡↪➡↪ ANS

Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable in the system of equations?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: A and B

Explanation: I’ll use A as an example. When you multiply the bottom equation by -3/2, the equation becomes: -9x+6y=-3. Then, proceed to add the equations. Look at X and Y in both equations: do the Y variables in both equations equal to 0 when added together? Yes, because -6y+6y=0! Therefore, you can eliminate y in these two equations.

Hope that’s helps シ

Please enclose the "nt" inside parentheses: <span>A(t)=P(1+r/n)^(nt).

Then: A = $500*(1+0.06/12)^(5*12) = $641.68</span>

$6=\dfrac{a\cdot3^2-b}{3^2-4}\\\\
6=\dfrac{9a-b}{5}\\\\\
9a-b=30\\\\
\boxed{b=9a-30}$
