3 to the x power - 1 = 9 to the x power+2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tom [10]3 years ago
8 0

So we need to solve:

3ˣ⁻¹ = 9ˣ⁺²

To do this, we need to have the same base for both sides of the equation.

So let's go with the base of 3.

3² = 9

3ˣ⁻¹ = (3²)ˣ⁺²

3ˣ⁻¹ = 3²ˣ⁺⁴

Since the bases are the same now, we need to get rid of them and we would get:

x - 1 = 2x + 4

Subtract both sides by 2x:

-x - 1 = 4

Add 1 to both sides:

-x = 5

Divide both sides by -1:

x = -5

What is the image of point (4, 5) after a counterclockwise rotation of 270º about the origin?
andriy [413]
A <span>counterclockwise rotation of 270º about the origin is equivalent to a </span><span>clockwise rotation of 90º about the origin.

Given a point (4, 5), the x-value, i.e. 4 and the y-value, i.e. 5 are positive, hence the point is in the 1st quadrant of the xy-plane.

A clockwise rotation of </span><span>90º about the origin of a point in the first quadrant of the xy-plane will have its image in the fourth quadrant of the xy-plane. Thus the x-value of the image remains positive but the y-value of the image changes to negative.
Also the x-value and the y-value of the original figure is interchanged.
For example, given a point (a, b) in the first quadrant of the xy-plane, </span><span>a counterclockwise rotation of 270º about the origin which is equivalent to a <span>clockwise rotation of 90º about the origin will result in an image with the coordinate of (b, -a)</span>

Therefore, a </span><span>counterclockwise rotation of 270º about the origin </span><span>of the point (4, 5) will result in an image with the coordinate of (5, -4)</span> (option C)

The ratio of side lengths of a quadrilateral is 3 : 5 : 6 : 9, and its perimeter is 9.2cm. What is the length of the longest sid
wolverine [178]

Answer:

longest side=3.6

let ratio 3:5:6:9be 3x,5x,6xand9x

perimeter= sum of all side

9.2=3x+5x+6x+9x

9.2=23x

x=9.2÷23

x=0.4

9x=9×0.4=3.6

6x=6×0.4=2.4

5x=5×0.4=2

3x=3×0.4=1.2

Assume that Fancy Shoe Warehouse has 500 pairs of women's shoes in stock. The distribution of the women's shoe sizes is approxim
NeTakaya
<span>It can be assumed that the sample mean would would be approximately normal by the mean distribution theorem. The mean distribution theorem states that a large enough sample size will have a distribution and mean approximately the same as the population mean. A sample of 250, half the size of 500, is of sufficient size to assume the distribution mean will be approximately normal like the population mean.</span>

Which algebraic representation shows a reduction?
Grace [21]

Answer:

D. (x, y) →(\frac{1}{2}x,\frac{1}{2}y)

Step-by-step explanation:

A dilation is a transformation which reproduces an image of the same shape as the original, but might be of a different size.

When the dilation produces a smaller image is called a reduction.

Mathematically, a reduction occurs whenever the scale factor is between 0 and 1.

Out of the options, the only one that has a scale factor less than one is:

(x, y) →(\frac{1}{2}x,\frac{1}{2}y)

Since the scale factor is 1/2 which is less than 1.

All other options are not reductions.
