Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(x+4)+8=2

What is a logarithms and give atleast two examples of it.
mart [117]

Step-by-step explanation:

Logarithm is basically the exponent - also called power - to which a base must be raised to produce a given number.

Mathematically, it can be displayed as:

x is the logarithm of n to the base b, if b^{x} = n, in which case we write

x=\log _b\left(n\right)

Lets take the first example,

2^{4}  = 16

as

x=\log _b\left(n\right)

Therefore, 4 is the logarithm of 16 to base 2.

Lets take the second example,

x=\log _2\:64

2^x=64

x = 6

  • Logarithmic functions are basically inverse of exponents.

Here is how they are related to each other:

Logarithm          →         Exponent

\log _b\left(n\right)=x\:        →         n=b^x

  • Logarithms are helpful in displaying large number.

Write the given rate as a fraction in simplest form. 12 cups for every 39 people O 39/12 cups per person O 13/4 cups per person
Nata [24]

Answer:

4/13 cups per person

Step - by - step explanation:

Write the given rate as a fraction in simplest form. 12 cups for every 39 people

O 39/12 cups per person

O 13/4 cups per person

0 4/13 cups per person

O 12/39 cups per person

There are 39 people

12 cups are available

Determine the number of cups per person

Cups per person = 12 cups / 39 people

= 12/39 cups per person

Divide both numerator and denominator by 3

= 4/13 cups per person

Cups per person as a fraction in simplest form = 4/13 cups per person

Question 1 / 1<br> Find the equation of the line through the points (3,6) and (-1, 1).
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Now that the values of m (slope) and b (y-intercept) are known, substitute them into y=mx+b . to find the equation of the line.

y=5/4x+9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use y=mx+b to calculate the equation of the line, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

To calculate the equation of the line, use the y=mx+b format.

Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x , or rise over run.

m=(change in y)/(change in x)

The change in x

is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).

m=(y2−y1)/(x2−x1)

Substitute in the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope.

m=1−(6)/−1−(3)

Finding the slope m.

m=5/4

Find the value of b

using the formula for the equation of a line.

b=9/4
