Answer:

Benford’s law states that the probability that a number in a set has a given leading digit, d, is

P(d) = log(d + 1) - log(d)

The division property of logarithm should be use to make it as a single logarithm

P(d) = log ( (d + 1)/ d)

So the probability that the number 1 is the leading digit is

P(1) = log ( ( 1+1)/ 1)

P(1) = log ( 2)

P(1) = 0.301

A shelf is built on a wall, as shown below. What is the value of x? (2x+1) + (3x-1)

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of x.

We know that the sum of angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. So, using this property,

2x+1+3x-1+90 = 180

2x+3x = 180-90

5x = 90

x = 18

So, the value of x is equal to 18.

Find the value of x and y so that both proportions will be correct:

andrew11 [14]

The values of x and y are 0.2 and 0.4 respectively.

Explanation

The given proportions are.....

$x: 1\frac{2}{3}=y: 3\frac{1}{3}$ and $y:1.5=0.2:0.75$

From the second proportion, we will get....

$y:1.5=0.2:0.75\\ \\ \frac{y}{1.5}=\frac{0.2}{0.75} \\ \\ 0.75y=0.2*1.5\\ \\ 0.75y=0.3\\ \\ y=\frac{0.3}{0.75}=0.4$

Now, we will plug this $y=0.4$ into the first proportion. So we will get....

$x: 1\frac{2}{3}=y: 3\frac{1}{3}\\ \\ x: \frac{5}{3}=0.4:\frac{10}{3} \\ \\ \frac{x}{\frac{5}{3}}= \frac{0.4}{\frac{10}{3}}\\ \\ \frac{3x}{5}=\frac{1.2}{10}\\ \\ 30x=6\\ \\ x= \frac{6}{30}=0.2$

So, the values of x and y are 0.2 and 0.4 respectively.

What is an algebra?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics. It includes everything from elementary equation solving to the study of abstractions such as groups, rings, and fields.
