There are a lot of ways you can go about this. One way is to take away the 2 from the exponent by squaring the 15, because exponent rules state that 15^2x is the same thing as (15^2)^x.

(15^2)^x = 225^x
225^x = 36

Now, you can take the log of both sides, with base 225 so that x is by itself.

Log225 (225)^x = Log225 (36)
x = Log225 (36)

You can either plug Log225 (36) straight into your calculator or if you can't do that, you can use the change of base formula to rewrite it as Log(36)/Log(225).

Log225 (36) = 0.6616

(14.14) larry reads that 1 out of 6 eggs contains salmonella bacteria. so he never uses more than 5 eggs in cooking. if eggs do
melomori [17]

we know that

The probability that "at least one" is the probability of exactly one, exactly 2, exactly 3, 4 and 5 contain salmonella.

The easiest way to solve this is to recognise that "at least one" is ALL 100% of the possibilities EXCEPT that none have salmonella.

If the probability that any one egg has 1/6 chance of salmonella

then

the probability that any one egg will not have salmonella = 5/6.

Therefore

for all 5 to not have salmonella


= (5/6)^5 = 3125 / 7776

= 0.401877 = 0.40 to 2 decimal places


REMEMBER this is the probability that NONE have salmonella


Therefore

the probability that at least one does = 1 - 0.40

= 0.60


the answer is

0.60 or 60%

Jessica buys a lamp that costs $35 and a table that costs $75.00. If the tax rate is 10%, what will be the total cost of the lam
shepuryov [24]
Hello there!

75 + 35 = 110

110 x 10% = 0.1

110 x 0.1 = 11 ( the 11 is your tax )

75 + 35 = 110

110 + 11 = 121

$121 

Hope this helped!

Farmer Smith enclosed his rectangular pasture with fence that cost him $1.50 per linear meter. If his pasture is twice as long a
maria [59]

Answer:

$2,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pasture be x, this means that the length of the pasture will be 2x

The area of a rectangle is L * B

Hence,

x * 2x = 18,000

2x^2 = 180,000

x^2 = 90000

x = 300 meters

This means the length is 600 metres

Now, to get the length of the fence, we need to know the actual perimeter which is 2(L + B)

= 2 ( 300 + 600)

2 * 900 = 1,800 metres

The cost is thus 1,800 * $1.50 = $2,700
