Consider the following formula used to estimate the height, h, of a seeding after w weeks since planting

If logb2=x and logb3=y, evaluate the following in terms of x and y:

Alja [10]

$log_b{162} = x + 4y\\\\log_b324 = 2x+4y\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} = 3x-2y\\\\\frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = 3y-4x$

Solution:

Given that,

$log_b2 = x\\\\log_b3 = y --------(i)$

Use the following log rules

Rule 1: $log_b(ac) = log_ba + log_bc$

Rule 2: $log_b\frac{a}{c} = log_ba - log_bc$

Rule 3: $log_ba^c = clog_ba$

$a) log_b{162}$

Break 162 down to primes:

$162 = 2^1 \times 3^4$

$log_b{162} =log_b 2^1. 3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 1\\\\ log_b{162} = log_b 2^1 +log_b 3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 3\\\\1log_b2 + 4log_b3\\\\1x+4y\\\\x+4y$

Thus we get,

$log_b162 = x + 4y$

Break 324 down to primes:

$324 = 2^2 \times 3^4$

$log_b324 = log_b 2^2.3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 1\\\\log_b324 = log_b2^2 + log_b3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 3\\\\log_b324 = 2log_b2 + 4log_b3\\\\From\ (i)\\\\log_b324 = 2x + 4y$

By rule 2

$log_b\frac{8}{9} = log_b8 - log_b9\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} = log_b 2^3 - log_b3^2\\\\By\ rule\ 3\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} = 3 log_b2 - 2log_b3\\\\From\ (i)\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} = 3x - 2y$

By rule 2

$\frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = log_b27 - log_b16\\\\ \frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = log_b3^3 - log_b2^4\\\\By\ rule\ 2\\\\ \frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = 3log_b3 - 4log_b2 \\\\From\ (i)\\\\\frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = 3y - 4x$

Thus the given are evaluated in terms of x and y

Part A: Which three-dimensional geometric shape best models this pancake? (1 point)

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: The pancake is a cylinder shape with a circular top and bottom and straight middle.

Part B: Rotating a circle will NOT make a cylinder. Instead rotating a rectangular around a vertical axis will. It is a rectangle of 1cm height and 7cm length rotating around an axis at its edge.**

**Thanks to Moderator wegnerkolmp2741o who pointed out that it has to be a rectangle of 1cm height and 7cm length rotating around an axis at its edge. My original option of 1cm height and 14cm length rotating around its center would cause an overlapping shape.

The planning department of abstract office supplies has been asked to determine what is the company should introduce a new compu

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The company needs to sell 40 desks to break even

Step-by-step explanation:

Application of Equations

There is virtually no limit to the possible situations where equations can help to find the solution of specific problems related to areas like economy, where one could need to establish some important indicators about the business.

B. The fixed cost for Abstract Office Supplies to sell a new computer desk is $14,000. Each desk will cost $150 to produce. The cost function to produce X desks is

C(x)=150x+14,000

A. The revenue for each desk is estimated at $500, for X desks will be

R(x)=500x

C. The company will break even when the cost and the revenue are the same. We'll find how many desks need to be sold for that to happen. We equate

C(x)=R(x)

Or equivalently

150x+14,000=500x

Rearranging

500x-150x=14,000

350x=14,000

Solving for x

x=14,000/350= 40

The company needs to sell 40 desks to break even
