This is a really interesting question!! exponential functions and logarithmic functions are actually inverses functions; the way to "undo" logarithms is by exponents, the way to "undo" exponents is by logarithms. an exponent tells you how many times you need to multiply a value; logarithms ask what exponent you need to get a certain value. you could use logarithms and exponents to calculate interest rates, as a real life example. they can also be used in calculating population growth or the half-life of an organism in biology.

In the Minnesota Northstar Cash Drawing, you pick five different numbers between 1 and 35. What is the probability of picking th
maw [93]

Answer:

\frac{1}{324632} probability of picking the winning combination

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Since the order is not important, the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

The correct five numbers from a set of 5. So

D = C_{5,5} = \frac{5!}{5!0!} = 1

Total outcomes:

Five numbers from a set of 35. So

T = C_{35,5} = \frac{35!}{5!30!} = 324632

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{324632}

\frac{1}{324632} probability of picking the winning combination

A rectangle field is 350 meters long and 300 meters wide. What is the area of the field in square kilometers
balu736 [363]

Okay, so a kilometer=1000 meters, knowing that we can multiply 350*300 for the area, which would give us 105000 meters squared, then we divide 105000 by 1000, giving us 105 square kilometers.

Find x and y, given that line WS and line VT are parallel. Show all work!
bulgar [2K]

In the given diagram, the traingles USW and UTV are similar triangles and thus the following ratio equality applies to them.

\frac{VT}{WS} =\frac{VU}{WU}=\frac{TU}{SU}..........(Equation 1)

Checking the diagram given, we see that:

VT=y, WS=22, VU=8, ST=x-2

WU=WV+VU=12+8=20

TU=5

SU=ST+TU=(x-2)+5=x+3

Thus, substituting the required values in (Equation 1) we get:

\frac{y}{22}=\frac{8}{20}=\frac{5}{x+3}

Now, as can be clearly seen, to find y we will use the first two ratios as:

\frac{y}{22}=\frac{8}{20}

y=\frac{8\times 22}{20}=8.8

In a similar manner, to find the value of x we can use the last two ratios:

\frac{8}{20}=\frac{5}{x+3}

After cross multiplication we get:

5\times 20=8(x+3)

Which can be simplified as:

x+3=\frac{100}{8} =12.5

Thus, x=12.5-3=9.5

Therefore, the required answer is:

x=9.5 and y=8.8

:)pleas helppppp:)))))
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

B)  1 < x < 13

Step-by-step explanation:

use triangle inequality theorem which states that the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side

let x = third side

6 + 7 > x;    x < 13

6 + x > 7;    x > 1

x + 7 > 6;   x > -1

there will always be one inequality which produces a negative value which you can exclude from your answer because a length cannot be negative

calculate the distance between the points E=(-1,-5) and F=(-8,1) in the coordinate plane. Give an exact answer (not a decimal ap
Elena L [17]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>\sqrt{85}  \:  \:  \:  \: units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

d =  \sqrt{ ({x_1 - x_2})^{2} +  ({y_1 - y_2})^{2}  } \\

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

E(-1,-5) and F(-8,1)

The distance between them is

|EF|  =  \sqrt{ ({ - 1 + 8})^{2}  +  ({ - 5 - 1})^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{ {7}^{2}  +  ({ - 6})^{2} }  \\  =  \sqrt{49 + 36}  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \\  =  \sqrt{85}  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:

We have the final answer as

\sqrt{85}  \:  \:  \:  \: units

Hope this helps you
