4 three pointers and 3 two pointers would equal 18 total points If they shoot 4 three pointers than they would have 12 so far, and if they then shoot 3 two pointers then they would have 18, because (4 * 3) + (3 * 2) is 18
Answer:
m = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
x = 4
y = 6m - 2
a = 8
b = 5
Required:
Value of m
SOLUTION:
x and y are segments of a chord divided when it intersects another chord that also has segments a and b.
According to the Intersecting chords theorem, 
Thus:
Solve for m
The value of m = 2
Y = 4/-3 - 1
The slope can either be -4/3 or 4/-3 and the y-intercept is (0,1)
5-3^x = -40
subtract 5 from each side to get
-3^x=-45
divide both sides by -1 to make them positive
3^x = 45
need to do the natural logarithm on both sides to remove the variable from the exponent
so ln(3^x) = ln(45)
use logarithm rule to move x out
x ln (3) = ln(45)
dive each term by ln(3) then simplify to get
ln(3)/ln(45)
so x = ln(3)/ln(45) which calculates out to 3.46497352
round off to ten thousandths is 3.4650
