Mathematics
1 answer:
lawyer [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=12

x-y=18

Now eliminate the y by adding the two equations together to get

2x=30

x=15

then solve for y.

15+y=12

15-y=18

y= -3

2/3(6c+4)-(8c-5) Please explain how to do the problem.

2/3(6c+4)-(8c-5)
1) Get rid of the negative signs
New equation (the ones in bold are the changes): 2/3(6c+4)+(-8c)+(5)
2) Use distributive property for the first part by multiplying 2/3*6c= 4c and 2/3*4= 2 2/3
New equation: 4c+2 2/3+ (-8c) + 5
3) Combine like terms: 4c+(-8c)= -4c and 2 2/3+5= 7 2/3
New and simplified equation: -4c+ 7 2/3

Let f(x) = log(x). Find values of a such that f(kaa) = kf(a).
meriva

Answer:

a = k^{\frac{1}{k-2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = log(x)

and,

f(kaa) = kf(a)

now applying the given function, we get

⇒ log(kaa) = k × log(a)

or

⇒ log(ka²) = k × log(a)

Now, we know the property of the log function that

log(AB) = log(A) + log(B)

and,

log(Aᵇ) = b × log(A)

Thus,

⇒ log(k) + log(a²) = k × log(a)         (using log(AB) = log(A) + log(B) )

or

⇒ log(k) + 2log(a) = k × log(a)            (using log(Aᵇ) = b × log(A) )

or

⇒ k × log(a) - 2log(a) = log(k)

or

⇒ log(a) × (k - 2) = log(k)

or

⇒ log(a) = (k - 2)⁻¹ × log(k)

or

⇒ log(a) = \log(k^{\frac{1}{k-2}})          (using log(Aᵇ) = b × log(A) )

taking anti-log both sides

⇒ a = k^{\frac{1}{k-2}}

an aquarium has a ratio of 5 rays for every 3 sharks. What percent of this grouping of animals are rays
sashaice [31]

Answer:

62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of animals in a group= 5+3=8 animals

Number of rays=5

Since we only have 5 rays out of the total 8, to express the number of rays as a percentage of the total animals, we divide the number of rays by the total animals then multiply by 100 to express in percentage as needed in the question

Percentage of rays=\frac {5}{8}\times 100=62.5

Therefore, the percentage is 62.5%
