log_b{162} = x + 4y\\\\log_b324 = 2x+4y\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} = 3x-2y\\\\\frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = 3y-4x

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

log_b2 = x\\\\log_b3 = y --------(i)

<em><u>Use the following log rules</u></em>

Rule 1: log_b(ac) = log_ba + log_bc

Rule 2: log_b\frac{a}{c} = log_ba - log_bc

Rule 3: log_ba^c = clog_ba

a) log_b{162}

Break 162 down to primes:

162 = 2^1 \times 3^4

log_b{162} =log_b 2^1. 3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 1\\\\ log_b{162} = log_b 2^1 +log_b 3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 3\\\\1log_b2 + 4log_b3\\\\1x+4y\\\\x+4y

Thus we get,

log_b162 = x + 4y

Next

b) log_b 324

Break 324 down to primes:

324 = 2^2 \times 3^4

log_b324 = log_b 2^2.3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 1\\\\log_b324 = log_b2^2 + log_b3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 3\\\\log_b324 = 2log_b2 + 4log_b3\\\\From\ (i)\\\\log_b324 = 2x + 4y

Next

c) log_b\frac{8}{9}

By rule 2

log_b\frac{8}{9} = log_b8 - log_b9\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} = log_b 2^3 - log_b3^2\\\\By\ rule\ 3\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} =  3 log_b2 - 2log_b3\\\\From\ (i)\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} =  3x - 2y

Next

d) \frac{log_b27}{log_b16}

By rule 2

\frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = log_b27 - log_b16\\\\ \frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = log_b3^3 - log_b2^4\\\\By\ rule\ 2\\\\ \frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = 3log_b3 - 4log_b2 \\\\From\ (i)\\\\\frac{log_b27}{log_b16} =  3y - 4x

Thus the given are evaluated in terms of x and y

When Vince does 14 push-ups and 12 sit-ups, it takes a total of 52 seconds. In comparison, he needs 48 seconds to do 12 push-ups
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

it takes 2 seconds to do one situp

it takes 2 seconds to do one pushup

to do 14 pushups, it takes 28 seconds.

to do 12 situps it takes 24 seconds

to do 12 pushups, it takes 24 seconds

BRAINLIEST PLEASE!

hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

14x + 12y = 52

12x + 12y = 48

^^^ this is an inequality that we can make.  

x stands for pushups

y stands for situps

if we subtract the second equation from the first, we get

2x = 4

x = 2

now we can place x in one of the equations to solve for y

12(2)+12y=48

24 + 12y = 48

12y = 24

y = 2

45 units and is centered at
mariarad [96]

The correct question is:

A circle has a radius of 45 units and is centered at (-2.4, -4.8).

What is the equation of this circle?

Answer:

Equation of the circle is;

(x + 2.4)² + (y + 4.8)² = 2304

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a circle is;

(x - a)² + (y - b)²  =  r²

where;

(a,b) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle

Now, from the question, the circle is centered at (-2.4, -4.8) and the radius is 45

Thus, plugging those values into the standard form of equation of a circle, we have;

(x - (-2.4))²  +  (y - (-4.8))²  = 48²

This gives;

(x + 2.4)² + (y + 4.8)² = 2304
