Answer:

We can check this two ways: distributing the -0.5, and plugging in a number for x.

First, we can check this by distributing the -0.5.  Our equation becomes:

-1.5x -2.5 = -1.5x + 2.5

Clearly, this is not true.  We can show this one more time by plugging in a number for x.  I will use 2.

Now, we evaluate both sides and see if they are equal.

-3 - 2.5 = -3 + 2.5

-5.5 = 0.5

Clearly, this is not true.  These expressions are not equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the solution set of 3 In 4 = 2 In x.<br> -{6}<br> -{-8,8}<br> -(8)
o-na [289]

Option C: The solution set is \{8\}

Explanation:

The expression is 3 \ln 4=2 \ln x

Now, let us find the solution set.

Switch sides, we get,

2 \ln x=3 \ln 4

Dividing by 2 on both sides, we have,

\ln x=\frac{3 \ln 4}{2}

Thus,  \ln 4=\ln 2^2=2\ln 2

Hence, the above expression becomes,

\ln x=\frac{3 \cdot 2 \ln (2)}{2}

Simplifying, we get,

\ln x=3 \ln 2

Applying the log rule, we get,

$$\ln x$=\ln \left(2^{3}\right)$

Simplifying, we have,

$$\ln x$=\ln \left8\right$

Applying the log rule, we have,

x=8

Thus, the solution set is \{8\}

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Please answer!!! Will mark brainliest answer !!!
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

A, D

Step-by-step explanation:

When we multiply the fractions, we can get:

\frac{1}{5^{4} }

This is also equivalent to:

5^{-4}

When looking at the answer choices, the only ones that equal 5^{-4} are A and D because:

(5^{-2})^{2}  =5^{-4}

5^{2}*5^{-6} = 5^{-4}

Becky bought a bag of mixed chocolates that have either a toffee or nut center. Her and four friends pulled out the first eleven
denpristay [2]

Answer

Part A

Probability that the next chocolate will have a toffee center = (8/11)

Part B

Expected number of chocolates with nut centers = 18 nut centers

Part C

Probability of the picking three consecutive chocolates with nut centers

= (27/1331)

= 0.0203

Explanation

The first 11 chocolates had 8 toffee and 3 nut centers.

The result from these first 11 picks will be used to calculate the rest of the probability or make predictions.

So, for the first part of the question.

Probability that the next chocolate will have a toffee center

= (8/11)

Part B

If there are 66 chocolates left in the bag, how many do you expect to have a nut center?

Probability of picking a chocolate with nut center = p = (3/11)

Number of chocolates in total = n = 66

Expected number of chocolates with nut centers

= np

= (66) (3/11)

= 18 nut centers

Part C

What is the probability that the next 3 pulled do have a nut in the center?​

Probability of picking a chocolate with nut center = (3/11)

Probability of the picking three consecutive chocolates with nut centers

= (3/11) × (3/11) × (3/11)

= (27/1331)

= 0.0203

Hope this Helps!!!

An object is launched from a launching pad 144 ft. above the ground at a velocity of 128ft/sec. what is the maximum height reach
ollegr [7]

Answer:

18) a. h(x) = -16x² + vx + h(0) ⇒ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144

b. The maximum height = 400 feet

c. Attached graph

19) The rocket will reach the maximum height after 4 seconds

20) The rocket hits the ground after 9 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the rule of motion for an object with constant acceleration

# The distance S = ut ± 1/2 at², where u is the initial velocity, t is the time

  and a is the acceleration of gravity

# The vertical distances h in x second is h(x) - h(0), where h(0)

   is the initial height of the object above the ground

∵ h(x) = vx + 1/2 ax², where h is the vrtical distance, v is the initial

  velocity, a is the acceleration of gravity (32 feet/second²) and x

  is the time

18)a.

∵ The value of a = -32 ft/sec² ⇒ negative because the direction

   of the motion

  is upward

∴ h(x) - h(0) = vx - (1/2)(32)(x²) ⇒ (1/2)(32) = 16

∴ h(x) = vx - 16x² + h(0)

∴ h(x) = -16x² + vx + h(0) ⇒ proved

* Find the height of the object after x seconds from the ground

∵ h(0) = 144 and v = 128 ft/sec

∴ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144

b.

* At the maximum height h'(x) = 0

∵ h'(x) = -32x + 128

∴ -32x + 128 = 0 ⇒ subtract 128 from both sides

∴ -32x = -128 ⇒ ÷ -32

∴ x = 4 seconds

- The time for the maximum height = 4 seconds

- Substitute this value of x in the equation of h(x)

∴ The maximum height = -16(4)² + 128(4) + 144 = 400 feet

c. Attached graph

19)

- The object will reach the maximum height after 4 seconds

20)

- When the rocket hits the ground h(x) = 0

∵ h(x) = -16x² + 128x + 144

∴ 0 = -16x² + 128x + 144 ⇒ divide the two sides by -16

∴ x² - 8x - 9 = 0 ⇒ use the factorization to find the value of x

∵ x² - 8x - 9 = 0

∴ (x - 9)( x + 1) = 0

∴ x - 9 = 0 OR x + 1 = 0

∴ x = 9 OR x = -1

- We will rejected -1 because there is no -ve value for the time

* The time for the object to hit the ground is 9 seconds
