Answer:

175 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call 'd' the number of days before the deadline, and 'n' the total number of pages of the book.

We have the following equations:

(1) 25 d = n --> if we multiply the number of pages per day (25) times the number of days (d), we get the total number of pages of the book (n)

(2) (25+8)(d-2)=n-10 --> he reads 8 pages more per day (so, 25+8), for a number of days equal to (d-2) (d is the deadline), and he reads a total of n-10 pages (because only 10 are left)

We can substitute (1) into (2) and we find:

33(d-2)=25d-10\\33d-66=25d-10\\33d-25d=66-10\\8d=56\\d=7

So, the deadline is 7 days, and from eq.(1) we find the number of pages in the book:

n=25d=25 (7)=175

The function F(x)=log0.75^x is decreasing. True or false
Novay_Z [31]
We're given the following function:
f(x)=log(.75^x)=log[  (\frac{3}{4}) ^{x}]=log( \frac{3^x}{4^x})

In order to see if the function is decreasing we'll take its derivative. If \frac{d}{dx}f(x)\ \textgreater \ 1 the function is increasing, if \frac{d}{dx}f(x)\ \ \textless \  \ 1 the function is decreasing.

We take the derivate:
\frac{d}{dx}[log( \frac{3^x}{4^x})]= \frac{4^x}{3^x}[ \frac{d}{dx} (\frac{3^x}{4^x})]=\frac{4^x}{3^x} \frac{4^x[ \frac{d}{dx} (3^x)]-3^x[ \frac{d}{dx} (4^x)]}{ 4^2^x}=
\frac{4^x}{3^x} \frac{4^x[3^xlog(3)]-3^x[4^x[4^xlog(4)]}{ 4^2^x}=log(3)-log(4)\ \textless \ 0

Which implies the function is decreasing.

Another way to answer the problem (although less insightful) you can take any two real numbers k and q such that k\ \textgreater \ q, then if f(k)-f(q)\ \textgreater \ 0 the function is increasing and if f(k)-f(q)\ \textless \ 0 the function is decreasing. You can verify the function is decreasing with any two numbers in the function's domain.

Find the value of x that will make A||B
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Both Angles have the same value, as they are opposite angels.

Set your formula up as

5x+20=3x+60

5x=3x+60-20

2x=40

x=40/2

x=20
