What is the equation of a line passing through the point (a, b) and having a slope of b?

1 answer:

3 0

The equation of a line that passes thruogh the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)

so
passing through (a,b) and having slope of b is
y-b=b(x-a)

the lengths (in inches) of two sides of a regular pentagon are represented by the expressions 5x-27 and 2x-6. find the length of

fgiga [73]

Since the pentagon is regular, the sides are all of equal length. This tells you

... 5x-27 = 2x-6

... 3x = 21 . . . . . . . add 27-2x

... x = 7

The length of a side can be found by subtituting this value into either expression.

... 2·7-6 = 8 . . . . inches

Exponential Rule [Powering]: $\displaystyle (b^m)^n = b^{m \cdot n}$
Solving exponential equations

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle 3^{6x + 18} < 27^{3x}$

Step 2: Solve for x

Rewrite: $\displaystyle 3^{6x + 18} < 3^{3(3x)}$
Set: $\displaystyle 6x + 18 < 3(3x)$
Factor: $\displaystyle 3(2x + 6) < 3(3x)$
[Division Property of Equality] Divide 3 on both sides: $\displaystyle 2x + 6 < 3x$
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 3x on both sides: $\displaystyle -x + 6 < 0$
[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 6 on both sides: $\displaystyle -x < -6$
[Division Property of Equality] Divide -1 on both sides: $\displaystyle x > 6$
