Solve 12^x-2=20 round to the nearest ten-thousandth? help, please!

Answer:

The answer to the equation: 12^x-2=20 round to the nearest ten-thousandth is:

x=1.2440

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find x of the equation (1)

12^x-2=20

Now, the number two goes to the other side of the equation to add

12^x=20+2\\12^x=22

We need to multiply by logarithm on both sides of the equation

Log(12^x)=Log(22)

Using the properties of the logarithms, we know:

x*Log(12)=Log(22)\\x=\frac{Log22}{Log12}

x=1.2439

The nearest ten-thousandth is:

x=1.2440

12^x - 2 = 20
12^x = 22
x log 12 = log 22 
x = (log 22)/(log 12) 

The rest is a calculator exercise. Use any base log you like, as long as both are the same base. (The right side is really the base-12 logarithm of 22, but nobody has a base-12-log key on their calculator.)

Answer:

Perimeter = √40 + 6 + 4√2 + √28

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the length of sides.

<em>Perimeter =  4√2 + x + 6 + y</em>

Now for x and y-

<u>I. By Pythagorean theorem in left side right angle triangle-</u>

( 4√2)² = 2² + x²

32 - 4 = x²

x² = 28

x = √28

<u>II. By Pythagorean theorem in Right angle triangle-</u>

y² = 2² + 6²

y² = 4 + 36

y² = 40

y = √40

Hence Perimeter =  4√2 + x + 6 + y

P = 4√2 + √28 + 6 + √40

∴ P = √40 + 6 + 4√2 + √28

Anne is choosing a contractor. She has narrowed down her selection to two companies and will base her decision on the likelihood
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The joint probability for two different things is equal to the product of the individual probabilities.

For contractor A we have:

Prob that the job is done in time  = 0.95

Prob that the job is done within the budget = 0.97

Prob of both things at the same time P = 0.95*0.97 = 0.92

For company B we have:

Prob that the job is done in time  = 0.98

Prob that the job is done within the budget = 0.93

Prob of both things at the same time P = 0.98*0.93 = 0.91

Then the best contractor is contractor A, (with a joint probability of p = 0.92) and the correct option is option A.

X-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(x+3)

First, clear out the fraction.  Mult. both sides of this inequality by 2(x+3):

x-2 greater than or equal to  6(2)(x+3) 

x-2 greater than or equal to  12x + 36 becomes

-38 greater than or equal to 11x

Thus, -38/11 is greater than or equal to x, or

x is smaller than or equal to -38/11

check:  try x = -44/11 = -4 (this is smaller than -38/11)

Substitute -4 into the original inequality:

x-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(x+3)

becomes

-4-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(-4+3)

or 

-6
---- = 3.  Is this greater than or equal to 6?  No.
-2

So, choose a different test value for x:  Try one that's on the other side of 
-38/11.  I'll try 0.

Then 

0-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2(0+3)

-2
---- = -1/3.  Unfortunately, this is not greater than or equal to 6.
6

Thus, this tentative solution fails.


Trying again:

x-2
--------- greater than or equal to 6
2x + 6

Multiply both sides by 2x+6:  x-2 is greater than or equal to 6(2x+6)

Then x-2 is greater than or equal to 12x + 36

Add 2 to both sides:  x is gr. than or = to 12x + 38

Subtr. 38 from both sides:   -38 + x is gr than or equal to 12x, or

-38 is gr than or = to 11x, and -38/11 is gr than or = to x (same as before).

Again, -4 proves NOT to be a solution.  Thus, the interval (-infinity, -38/11) is not part of the solution set.

Trying x = 2,

2-2
------------- comes out to 0, which is NOT greater than or equal to 6.
2(2) + 6

Thus, (-38/11, infinity) is not a solution set either.

NO SOLUTION!
