A) 2^(x+3)= 4^(2x)
make base number the same
2^(x+3)= 2^2 (2x)
set the exponents equal to eachother
x+3=2 (2x)
x+3=4x
-x both sides
3=3x
÷3 both sides
x=1

b) 16^(1/5)×2^(x)=8^(3/4)
make base same number
2^4 (1/5)×2^(x)=2^3 (3/4)
2^(4/5)×2^(x)=2^(9/4)
set exponents
4/5 +x=9/4
-4/5 both sides
x= 29/20

The length of a rectangle is the width minus 8 units. The area of the rectangle is 9 units. What is the length, in units, of the

frez [133]

Length of rectangle is 1 unit

<u>Solution: </u>

Given that

Length of a rectangle is width minus 8 units.

Area of rectangle = 9 square units

Need to calculate the length of rectangle.

Let us assume width of rectangle = x

As Length is width minus 8,

Length of the rectangle = x – 8

$\text{ Area of rectangle }=\text{ width of rectangle }\times \text{ Length of the rectangle }$

$\text{ Area of rectangle }= x\times (x-8)$

$\text { Area of rectangle }=\left(x^{2}-8 x\right)$

As given that area of rectangle = 9 square units

$\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow x^{2}-8 x=9} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x^{2}-8 x-9=0}\end{array}$

On solving above quadratic equation for x, we get

$\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow x^{2}-9 x+x-9=0} \\\\ {\Rightarrow x(x-9)+1(x-9)=0} \\\\ {\Rightarrow (x-9)(x+1)=0}\end{array}$

When $x-9 =9, x = 9$

When $x + 1 = 0, x = -1$

As width cannot be negative, so considering x = 9

$\text{ Length of rectangle }= x-8 = 9-8 = 1 \text{ unit }$

Hence, Length of rectangle is 1 unit.

Answer:a) L.C.M OF 2,3,5 is 30

THEREFORE=60/30+15/30÷10/30-6/30

=60/30+15/30×30/10-6/30(DMAS)

=60/30+3/2-6/30

=60+45/30 -6/30(ADDITION FIRST THEN SUBTRACTION.

=105/30-6/30

=105-6/30

=99/30

=33/10

b)(3+1/2)÷(2-1/2)=L.C.M IS 2,=(6+1/2)÷(4-1/2)=7/2÷3/2=7/3

Calculate the expected value of playing a lottery ticket game where each ticket costs $5, and the chance of having winning ticke

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$4895

Step-by-step explanation:

P(winning) = 1 / 1000000 = 0.000001

P(not winning) = 1 - 1/1000000 = 0.999999

Winning amount = 4,900,000,000 - 5 = 4899999995

Amount lost = - 5

__ X: - 5 _________ 4899999995

P(X) : 0.999999 ___ 0.000001

Expected value E(x) = Σx * p(x)

E(x) = - 5(0.999999) + 4899999995(0.000001)

E(x) = - 4.999995 + 4899.999995

E(x) = 4895

Hence, expected value is 4895

On your cell phone bill, you are charged $0.25 for each text you send. What is the dependent variable?

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The amount of the bill is dependent on the number of texts sent. Let y be the bill amount and x the number of texts. Then x is independent and y is dependent. This is because x can be any non-negative number, but y depends upon it. You cannot find the bill without knowing the number of text messages, right?
