Answer:

His brother will take 3.5 hours or $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours to mow 21 lawns

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

His brother mows 6 lawns in an hour.

To find the time his brother takes to mow 21 lawns.

Solution:

We will unitary method to find the time he will take to mow 21 lawns.

If 6 lawns are mowed in 1 hour

So, 1 lawn will me mowed in = $\frac{1}{6}$ hours.

Thus 21 lawns will be mowed in = $\frac{1}{6}\times 21=\frac{21}{6}=3.5$ hours.

Thus, his brother will take 3.5 hours or $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours to mow 21 lawns

I NEED HELP!! please show all work

Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.

$4^{5x} = 3^{x-2}$

$\implies \log 4^{5x} = \log 3^{x-2}$

Drop the exponents:

$\implies 5x \log 4 = (x-2) \log 3$

Expand the right side:

$\implies 5x \log 4 = x \log 3 - 2 \log 3$

Move the terms containing <em>x</em> to the left side and factor out <em>x</em> :

$\implies 5x \log 4 - x \log 3 = - 2 \log 3$

$\implies x (5 \log 4 - \log 3) = - 2 \log 3$

Solve for <em>x</em> by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :

$\implies \boxed{x = -\dfrac{ 2 \log 3 }{ 5 \log 4 - \log 3 }}$

You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:

$\implies x = -\dfrac{ \log 3^2 }{ \log 4^5 - \log 3 }$

$\implies x = -\dfrac{ \log 9 }{ \log 1024 - \log 3 }$

$\implies \boxed{x = -\dfrac{ \log 9 }{ \log \frac{1024}3 }}$

You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,

$\implies \boxed{x = -\log_{\frac{1024}3}9}$

Which statement about g(x)=x^2-576 is true

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

c. the zeros, -24 and 24, can be found when 0= (x+24)(x-24).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$g(x)=x^2-576$

When we equate the function to zero, we obtai;

$x^2-576=0$

Use difference of two squares:

$x^2-24^2=0$

$(x-24)(x+24)=0$

Use the zero product property to obtain;

$x-24=0,\:and\:x+24=0$

This implies that;

$x=24,\:and\:x=-24$

The correct choice is C

1. A line passes through (9, -9) and (10,-5).

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

1. y+5=4x-40

2.y=4x-45

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the slope of a line you do y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁ so we plug in the values -9+5/9-10 and we get -4

Point-slope form states y-y₁=m(x-x₁) where m is the slope so plug in the values we get y+5=4(x-10) and you get y+5=4x-40 then turn this equation into y=mx+b and get y= 4x-45
