Just set up a proportion with the original numbers and then the numbers you want to find like so: (x1/y1)=(x2/y2) and since you want to find the second y value, just leave y as a variable like so: (15/24)=(3/y) after this just cross multiply and get the answer: 15y=72.....y=4.8
Given: <span>9=(1/27)^(a+3)
[Note: Please review rules of PEMDAS.
The question posted as is means
</span><span>9=[(1/27)^a]+3 which is probably not what you mean. It has been interpreted with (a+3) as the exponent, please check.]
</span><span>
Need to find value of a that satisfies above.
We will first isolate a in order to solve for its value.
</span>9=(1/27)^(a+3)
Switch unknown to the left
(1/27)^(a+3) = 9
Since both 27 and 9 are powers of 3, we can take log to base 3.
take log (base 3) on both sides, applying rule of logarithm of exponents.
(a+3)log_3(1/27)=log_3(9)
(a+3)log_3(3^(-3))=log_3(3^2)
Apply definition of logarithm [log_a(a^k)=k]
(a+3)(-3)=2
(a+3)=-2/3
a=-3 2/3=-11/3
Check: (1/27)^(-11/3+3)=(1/27)^(-2/3)=(3^(-3))^(-2/3)=3^(-3(-2/3))=3^2=9 ok
Answer: a=-11/3 or a=-3.667 (approx.)
Answer:
20 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for distance is
d =rt where r is the rate and t is the time
We need to convert the time to hours since the rate is in mph
15 minutes * 1 hour/ 60 minutes = 1/4 hour = .25 hours
d = (80 mph) * .25 hours
d = 20 miles
Answer:
Statistical sampling is drawing a set of observations randomly from a population distribution. ... By repeating the sampling operation a large number of times, perhaps 1000, we decrease the sampling error and increase the quality of the estimates.
For 1 year, the house appreciates $4375 (3.5% of 125,000). Therefore after 10 years, $4375(10) = $43750. $125,000+ $43750 = $168,750.
