Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a pentagon is gotten through the summation of its five sides. Let the first side be represented by x. Since each side of a pentagon is 10 cm greater than the previous side, then the sides will be:

First side = x

Second side = x + 10

Third side = x + 10 + 10 = x + 20

Forth side = x + 30

Fifty side = x + 40

Therefore,

x + (x + 10) + (x + 20) + (x + 30) + (x + 40) = 500

5x + 100 = 500

5x = 500 - 100

5x = 400

x = 400/5

x = 80

Therefore, the lengths will be:

First side = x = 80cm

Second side = x + 10 = 80 + 10 = 90cm

Third side = x + 20 = 80 + 20 = 100cm

Forth side = x + 30 = 80 + 30 = 110cm

Fifty side = x + 40 = 80 + 40 = 120cm

Rewrite the following in the form log(c).<br> log(10) – log(5)
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

log(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to combine log(10) and log(5), you need to look at the sign that's combining them. In this example, it is a subtraction sign. When two logs are being subtracting from each other, it's the same as dividing the two. You would rewrite it like this:

log(10/5)

You would then solve 10/5, and get 2. You would rewrite the log as:

log(2)

What is the correct evaluation of 4x2 + 4x - 2y2 +3y, when x is equal to -2 and y is equal to 3?
____ [38]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

This all comes down to the substitution. I am assuming that (4x2) is meant to be 4x^2 so I will solve as that.

4(-2)^2 = 4(4) = 16

4(-2) = - 8    

-2(3)^2 = -2(9) = -18

3(3) = 9

16-8-18+9= -1
