(9^x) - 3 = 2*3^x
(9^x) - 3 - (2*3^x) = (2*3^x) - (2*3^x)
(9^x) - (2*3^x) - 3 = 0
(3^2)^x - 2*(3^x) - 3 = 0
3^(2x) - 2*(3^x) - 3 = 0
3^(x*2) - 2*(3^x) - 3 = 0
(3^x)^2 - 2*(3^x) - 3 = 0
z^2 - 2*z - 3 = 0  ............ let z = 3^x
(z - 3)(z + 1) = 0

If z-3 = 0, then z = 3 when we isolate z
If z = 3, and z = 3^x, then
z = 3
3^x = 3
3^x = 3^1
x = 1
which is a solutin in terms of x

If z+1 = 0 then z = -1
If z = -1 and z = 3^x, then there are NO solutions for this part of the equation
The quantity 3^x is never negative no matter what the x value is

Answer: x = 1

Find the value of x.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

x=55

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to add the three angles to get 180 first. 180- 21-34=125.

then take the missing angle inside the triangle (125) and subtract by 180.

180-125=55

A large company put out an advertisement in a magazine for a job
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

<em>C(19)=12 responses</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Exponential Decay Function</u>

The exponential function is frequently used to model natural growing or decaying processes, where the change is proportional to the actual quantity.

An exponential decaying function can be expressed as follows:

C(t)=C_o\cdot(1-r)^t

Where:

C(t) is the actual value of the function at time t

Co is the initial value of C at t=0

r is the decaying rate, expressed in decimal

The company puts out an advertisement for a job opening. Initially, the company got 90 responses to the advertisement. Each day, the responses declined by 10%.

This is an example where the decay model can be used to calculate the responses to the advertisement at the day t.

The initial value is Co=90, the decaying rate is r=10% = 0.10. The model is written as:

C(t)=90\cdot(1-0.1)^t

Calculating:

C(t)=90\cdot(0.9)^t

We are required to calculate the number of responses at day t=19, thus:

C(19)=90\cdot(0.9)^{19}

C(19)=12 responses

A vendor prepares 100.00 hotdogs every day and sells at $20.00/piece. For each hot dog, he spends $12.00 in the raw material. Ad
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

$397.34 (if he sold the 20 leftover hot dogs), $297.34 if he didn't.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to assume that a month has 30 days.

  • First, we are going to see how much money the vendor got from selling the 80 hot dogs. He sold 80 hot dogs at 20 dollars/piece = 1600 dollars.

  • We need to subtract the amount of money he spent in each hot dog (12 dollars in raw material plus one dollar for packing): 13 dollars x 100 hot dogs he prepared = 1300 dollars

  • He also spends a total of 80 dollars per month in truck rent, electricity and other expenses. If we divide this by the amount of days per month we have: 80/30 = 2.66

  • The problem doesn't tell us that there were unhappy customers that day so that amount is zero.

  • We are going to assume that the vendor sold the remaining 20 hot dogs at 5 dollars/piece. 20 x 5 = 100.

Thus, the profit for that day is:

1600 - 1300 - 2.66 + 100 = 397.34

<u>(</u><u>Note:</u><u> If the vendor did not sell the leftover hot dogs and he actually only sold 80 hot dogs, then the profit would be: 1600 - 1300 - 2.66 = 297.34)</u>
