Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's understand logarithms.

When there is no base given, like in this problem's right side of the equation, the base is automatically 10.

So, let's re-write that.

$\frac{7}{x+2}=log_{10}x+5$

Now, let's test a few of the numbers out. For brevity, I already know it's 3. Let's show you why.

$\frac{7}{5+2} =log_{10}(5+5)\\\frac{7}{7} = log_{10}(10)\\1 = 1$

9. Krista and Emily wrote an equation of a line that is parallel to the line y = 3x - 1 and passing

Andre45 [30]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The equation, of a st. line that passes through point (5,9) is,

$(y - y1) = m1(y - y1)$

Put the values,

$(y - 9) = m1(x - 5)$

It is 1st equation.

Now, another equation is,

y = 3x-1.........(ii)

Comparing the equation with y = mx+c.

Slope (m2)= 3

As per the parallel lines,

m1=m2=3

Putting,

the value of m1 in equation(i)

(y-9)= 3(x-5)

y-9= 3x - 15

y = 3x - 6.

So, Krista equation is correct.

Hope it helps...

Please help with this math question

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

t = 16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

4/3 : 7= 3t/4 :21

4/3 x 21 = 7 x 3t/4

28 = 21t/4

112 = 21t

t = 112/21 → t = 16/3

A test has 20 true/false questions. What is the probability that a student passes the test if they guess the answers? Passing me

Minchanka [31]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that:

The probability that the student will get 15 correct questions in this test by guessing is 0.0207 = 2.07%.

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes, either the guess is correct, or it is not. The guess on a question is independent of any other question, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem:

There are 20 questions, hence $n = 20$ .

Each question has 2 options, one of which is correct, hence $p = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

The probability is:

$P(X \geq 15) = P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

In which:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 15) = C_{20,15}.(0.5)^{15}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.0148$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.5)^{16}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.0046$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,17}.(0.5)^{17}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.0011$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.5)^{18}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,19}.(0.5)^{19}.(0.5)^{1} = 0$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,20}.(0.5)^{20}.(0.5)^{0} = 0$

Then:

$P(X \geq 15) = P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.0148 + 0.0046 + 0.0011 + 0.0002 + 0 + 0 = 0.0207$

The probability that the student will get 15 correct questions in this test by guessing is 0.0207 = 2.07%.

Given four functions, place them in order of their y-intercept, from highest to lowest.

Bas_tet [7]

We are given
f(x) = (x + 4)^(x - 2) + 2
g(x) = 8 (20)^x
j(x) is the given data

We are asked to arrange the functions according to increasing y-intercept. Simply substitute 0 to x and solve for the y-intercept. Doing this, the answer is
C.) f(x), g(x),j(x),h(x)
