Here we are given the function:

f(x)=b^{x}

Steps to find inverse are :

Step 1:

First replace f(x) by y.

y=b^{x}

Step 2:

Replace every  x with a  y and replace every  y with an  x.

x=b^{y}

Step 3:

Solve the equation from step 2 for y.

x=b^{y}

Taking log on both sides:

logx=log(b^{y})

logx=ylogb

y=\frac{logx}{logb}

Answer:

Inverse function is :

y=\frac{logx}{logb}

The Martinez family went to the movies and paid $60 for two adult tickets and three children’s tickets. The Wright family consis
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

a = $13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = adult tickets

Let c = children tickets

Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation;

<u>For the Martinez family;</u>

2a + 3c = $60

<u>For the Wright family;</u>

3a + 5c = $95.5

Thus, the simultaneous equations are;

2a + 3c = $60 ..........equation 1

3a + 5c = $95.5 .........equation 2

We would use substitution method to solve;

From equation 2, we make a the subject of formula;

3a = 95.5 - 5c

a = (95.5 - 5c)/3

<em>Substituting the value of "a" into equation 1, we have;</em>

2[(95.5-5c)/3] + 3c = 60

Multiplying all through by 3;

2(95.5 - 5c) + 9c = 180

191 - 10c + 9c = 180

191 - c = 180

c = 191-180

c = $11

To find the value of a;

2a +3c = 60

<em>Substituting the value of "c" into the equation, we have;</em>

2a + 3(11) = 60

2a + 33 = 60

2a = 60 - 33

2a = 27

a = \frac{27}{2}

a = $13.5

<em>Therefore, the cost of an adult movie ticket is $13.5. </em>

Show that 3 · 4^n + 51 is divisible by 3 and 9 for all positive integers n.
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

3\cdot 4^n+51=3\cdot 4^n+3\cdot 17=3(4^n+17)

So this is divisible by 3.

Now, to prove that this is divisible by 9 = 3*3 we need to prove that

4^n+17 is divisible by 3. We will prove it by induction.

Step 1 - for n = 1

4+17=21= 3*7 this is true

Step 2 - we assume this is true for k so 4^k+17 is divisible by 3

and we check what happens for k+1

4^{k+1}+17=4\cdot 4^k+17=3\cdot 4^k + 4^k+17

3\cdot 4^k is divisible by 3 and

4^k+17 is divisible by 3, by induction hypothesis

So, the sum is divisible by 3.

Step 3 - Conclusion

We just prove that 4^n+17 is divisible by 3 for all positive integers n.

Thanks

Suppose the number of births that occur in a hospital can be assumed to have a Poisson distribution with parameter = the average
arsen [322]

Answer:

0.5372

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of births that occur in a hospital can be assumed to have a Poisson distribution with parameter = the average birth rate of 1.8 births per hour.

Let X be the no of births in the hospital per hour

X is Poisson

with mean = 1.8

the probability of observing at least two births in a given hour at the hospital

= P(X\geq 2)\\= 1-F(1)\\= 1-0.4628\\= 0.5372

the probability of observing at least two births in a given hour at the hospital = 0.5372
