Answer:

b=7

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine the positive base b in which:

5_b \cdot 23_b = 151_b

The easiest way to approach this is to convert all the numbers to base 10.

5_b=5Xb^0=5\\23_b =(2Xb^1)+(3Xb^0)=2b+3\\151_b=(1Xb^2)+(5Xb^1)+(1Xb^0)=b^2+5b+1\\Therefore:\\5_b \cdot 23_b = 151_b\\5(2b+3)=b^2+5b+1\\10b+15=b^2+5b+1\\b^2+5b+1-10b-15=0

b^2-5b-14=0

Next, we factorize the resulting expression.

b^2-5b-14=b^2-7b+2b-14=0\\b(b-7)+2(b-7)=0\\(b-7)(b+2)=0\\b-7=0\: or \: b+2=0\\b=7\: or \: b=-2

The positive value of b for which the equality hold is 7.

Alicia can paint a small room 21 hours faster than Nina aloneness 4 hours slower than Alicia and Nina together. How long will it
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

11.413 Hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alicia can paint a house in 21 hours; Which means in 1 hour she can paint 1/24 of the house.

Nina can paint the same house in (21+4)  hours. Which means in 1 hour she can paint 1/25 of the house.

Together in 1 hour they can paint:  1/21 + 1/25 = 46/525 of the house.

Total Hours for painting the house together will be 525/46 = 11.413 Hours.

Consider the algebraic expression:
GrogVix [38]
Coefficients are the numbers that are next to a variable(a letter in an expression). Therefore the coefficients would be 7 and 18 because they are both next to a variable (y and x).

I can’t exactly remember what a constant is but I think it is a number alone (not next to any variables) and they are ONLY separated by + and - not multiplication or division. In this case it would be all of the numbers that are in between the + or - (all of them.)

I also think a constant could be the variable next to the coefficient. Which would be y and x (next to 7 and 18).

I’m am so sorry I can’t remember what a constant is but I hope the coefficient helps:)

What is the value of the y-intercept of the graph of f(x) = e^1-x – 1?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

(0, e-1) or (0, 1.718) to the nearest thousandth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept occurs when x = 0 so here we have:

y = e^(1 - 0) - 1

= e - 1

So the y-intercept is the point (0, e-1)
