Answer:

$x=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$9\left(x+3\right)=4x-3$

Expand:

$9x+9\times3=4x-3$

$9x+27=4x-3$

Subtract 27 from both sides:

$9x+27-27=4x-3-27$

$9x=4x-30$

Subtract 4x from both sides:

$9x-4x=4x-30-4x$

$5x=-30$

Divide both sides by 5:

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-30}{5}$

$x=-6$

Use the properties of logarithms to prove log, 1000 = log2 10.

Leto [7]

Given:

Consider the equation is:

$\log_81000=\log_210$

To prove:

$\log_81000=\log_210$ by using the properties of logarithms.

Solution:

We have,

$\log_81000=\log_210$

Taking left hand side (LHS), we get

$LHS=\log_81000$

$LHS=\dfrac{\log 1000}{\log 8}$ $\left[\because \log_ab=\dfrac{\log_x a}{\log_x b}\right]$

$LHS=\dfrac{\log (10)^3}{\log 2^3}$

$LHS=\dfrac{3\log 10}{3\log 2}$ $[\because \log x^n=n\log x]$

$LHS=\dfrac{\log 10}{\log 2}$

$LHS=\log_210$ $\left[\because \log_ab=\dfrac{\log_x a}{\log_x b}\right]$

$LHS=RHS$

Hence proved.

What is the horizontal asymptote of the function f(x)= -2x/x+1

daser333 [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

-2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have been given a function f(x)=\frac{-2x}{x+1} and we are asked to find the horizontal asymptote of our given function.

Recalling the rules for a horizontal asymptote:

1. If the numerator and denominator have equal degree, the horizontal asymptote will be the ratio of the leading coefficients.

2. If the polynomial of denominator has larger degree than the numerator, then the horizontal asymptote will be the x-axis or y=0.

3. If the polynomial of numerator has larger degree than denominator, then the function has no horizontal asymptote.

Here, the numerator and denominator are of the same degree. So the horizontal asymptote will be the ratio of the coefficients.

Horizontal asymptote = $-\frac{2}{1}$ = -2

Determine the most precise name for ABCD (parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, or square). Explain how you determined your answer.

Sonja [21]

<h3>Answer: Rhombus</h3>

======================================================

Reason:

Let's find the distance from A to B. This is equivalent to finding the length of segment AB. I'll use the distance formula.

$A = (x_1,y_1) = (3,5) \text{ and } B = (x_2, y_2) = (7,6)\\\\d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(3-7)^2 + (5-6)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (-1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{16 + 1}\\\\d = \sqrt{17}\\\\d \approx 4.1231\\\\$

Segment AB is exactly $\sqrt{17}$ units long, which is approximately 4.1231 units.

If you were to repeat similar steps for the other sides (BC, CD and AD) you should find that all four sides are the same length. Because of this fact, we have a rhombus.

-------------------------

Let's see if this rhombus is a square or not. We'll need to see if the adjacent sides are perpendicular. For that we'll need the slope.

Let's find the slope of AB.

$A = (x_1,y_1) = (3,5) \text{ and } B = (x_2,y_2) = (7,6)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{6 - 5}{7 - 3}\\\\m = \frac{1}{4}\\\\$

Segment AB has a slope of 1/4.

Do the same for BC

$B = (x_1,y_1) = (7,6) \text{ and } C = (x_2,y_2) = (6,2)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{2 - 6}{6 - 7}\\\\m = \frac{-4}{-1}\\\\m = 4\\\\$

Unfortunately the two slopes of 1/4 and 4 are not negative reciprocals of one another. One slope has to be negative while the other is positive, if we wanted perpendicular lines. Also recall that perpendicular slopes must multiply to -1.

We don't have perpendicular lines, so the interior angles are not 90 degrees each.

Therefore, this figure is not a rectangle and by extension it's not a square either.

The best description for this figure is a <u>rhombus</u>.

Boston , Massachusetts, and buffalo, New York, are hit by snowstorms that last 3 days . Boston accumulates snow at a rate of 1.5

stich3 [128]

Question is ;

Complete question is;

Boston , Massachusetts, and buffalo, New York, are hit by snowstorms that last 3 days . Boston accumulates snow at a rate of 1.5 feet every 36 hours. Buffalo accumulates snow at a rate of 0.01 inches every minute.

Which city accumulates more snow in 3 days? How much more snow?

Answer:

- Boston accumulates more snow in 3 days.

- It accumulates 0.6 ft of snow more than Boston

Step-by-step explanation:

Boston accumulates 1.5 feet of snow every 36 hours.

Number of hours in 3 days = 24 × 3 = 72 hours.

Thus, In 72 hours, Boston would have accumulated; (1.5 × 72)/36 = 3 feet of snow.

Now, Buffalo accumulates 0.01 inches of snow every minute.

In 3 days, number of minutes we have = 60 × 24 × 3 = 4320 minutes

Thus, total snow accumulated in 3 days = 0.01 × 4320/1 = 43.2 inches

Now, let's convert this to ft;

12 inches = 1ft

Thus; 43.2 inches = 43.2 × 1/12 = 3.6ft

Thus, Buffalo accumulates more snow in 3 days.

It accumulates 0.6 ft of snow more than Boston
