−3x + y = 4,<br><br> −9x + 5y = −1<br> find x and y
katrin [286]

Answer:

9x - 3y = -12

-9x +5y = -1

2y = -13

y = -13/2

-3x - 13/2 = 8/2

-3x = 21/2

-6x = 21

x = -21/6 = -7/2

(-7/2, -13/2)

If y= (2x^2+x)^3 +(x-1) /(1-x). find dy dx​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=(2x²+x)³+(x-1)/(1-x)

=(2x²+x)³+(x-1)/-(x-1)

=(2x²+x)³-1

dy/dx=3(2x²+x)(4x+1)-0

=3x(2x+1)(4x+1)

Changing Bases to Evaluate Logarithms in Exercise, use the change-of-base formula and a calculator to evaluate the logarithm. Se
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Log_5 12=1.54

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Log_5 12

We have to find the value of given logarithms by using change-base formula

Base-change formula:

log_a b=\frac{Log_x b}{Log_x a}

Where x=New base

Using the formula then, we get

Log_5 12=\frac{log_{10} 12}{log_{10} 5}

Substitute the values log_{10}12=1.079, log_{10}5=0.699

Then,we get

Log_5 12=\frac{1.079}{0.699}

Log_5 12=1.54
