Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a. we start by dividing both sides by 200:

(1.05)^x=1.885

In order to solve for x, we have to get it out from its position of an exponent.  Do that by taking the natural log of both sides:

ln(1.05)^x=ln(1.885)

Applying the power rule for logs lets us now bring down the x in front of the ln:

x * ln(1.05) = ln(1.885)

Now we can divide both sides by ln(1.05) to solve for x:

x=\frac{ln(1.885)}{ln(1.05)}

Do this on your calculator to find that

x = 12.99294297

For b. we will first apply the rule for "undoing" the addition of logs by multipllying:

ln(x*x^2)=5

Simplifying gives you

ln(x^3)=5

Applying the power rule allows us to bring down the 3 in front of the ln:

3 * ln(x) = 5

Now we can divide both sides by 3 to get

ln(x)=\frac{5}{3}

Take the inverse ln by raising each side to e:

e^{ln(x)}=e^{\frac{5}{3}}

The "e" and the ln on the left undo each other, leaving you with just x; and raising e to the power or 5/3 gives you that

x = 5.29449005

For c. begin by dividing both sides by 20 to get:

\frac{1}{2}=e^{.1x}

"Undo" that e by taking the ln of both sides:

ln(.5)=ln(e^{.1x})

When the ln and the e undo each other on the right you're left with just .1x; on the left we have, from our calculators:

-.6931471806 = .1x

x = -6.931471806

Question d. is a bit more complicated than the others.  Begin by turning the base of 4 into a base of 2 so they are "like" in a sense:

(2^2)^x-6(2)^x=-8

Now we will bring over the -8 by adding:

(2^2)^x-6(2)^x+8=0

We can turn this into a quadratic of sorts and factor it, but we have to use a u substitution.  Let's let u=2^x

When we do that, we can rewrite the polynomial as

u^2-6u+8=0

This factors very nicely into u = 4 and u = 2

But don't forget the substitution that we made earlier to make this easy to factor.  Now we have to put it back in:

2^x=4,2^x=2

For the first solution, we will change the base of 4 into a 2 again like we did in the beginning:

2^2=2^x

Now that the bases are the same, we can say that

x = 2

For the second solution, we will raise the 2 on the right to a power of 1 to get:

2^x=2^1

Now that the bases are the same, we can say that

x = 1

Question 60/62 (3.p.)
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Capacity of tank = 44,000 l

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of tank = 3.5 m

Radius = 2 m

Find:

Capacity of tank

Computation:

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

Volume of cylinder = (22/7)(2)²(3.5)

Volume of cylinder = 44 m³

1m³ = 1000 l

So,

Capacity of tank = 44  x 1,000

Capacity of tank = 44,000 l

American Vending (AV) supplies vended food to a large university. Because students often kick the machines out of anger and frus
aev [14]

Answer:

case 2 with two workers is the optimal decision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1—One worker:A= 3/hour Poisson, ¡x =5/hour exponential The average number of machines in the system isL = - 3. = 4 = lJr machines' ix-A 5 - 3 2 2Downtime cost is $25 X 1.5 = $37.50 per hour; repair cost is $4.00 per hour; and total cost per hour for 1worker is $37.50 + $4.00

= $41.50.Downtime (1.5 X $25) = $37.50 Labor (1 worker X $4) = 4.00

$41.50

Case 2—Two workers: K = 3, pl= 7L= r= = 0.75 machine1 p. -A 7 - 3Downtime (0.75 X $25) = S J 8.75Labor (2 workers X S4.00) = 8.00S26.75Case III—Three workers:A= 3, p= 8L= ——r = 5- ^= § = 0.60 machinepi -A 8 - 3 5Downtime (0.60 X $25) = $15.00 Labor (3 workers X $4) = 12.00 $27.00

Comparing the costs for one, two, three workers, we see that case 2 with two workers is the optimal decision.

Of the 1,640 students enrolled at a school, 50% come to school by bus, 35% come by car, and the rest of the students walk home.
ehidna [41]
So first we need to find what percent of the students walk to school. 

50 + 35 = 85% don't walk leaving only 15% that walk to school, 

To find the 15% percent that DO walk we multiply .15 by the total number of people. 

.15 x 1640 = 246 people walk to school

They need 1 1/2 cups of sugar. How many 1/4 cups should they measure
tekilochka [14]
The correct answer I got was 22 cups. 11/2 ÷ 1/4 is how you set it up. Then, you do KCF which stands for keep, change, flip. So, your new expression is 11/2 × 4/1. You cross reduce 4 & 2 which makes the new expression 11/1 × 2/1. 11 times 2 is 22/1 which still equals 22.
