Answer:

Step 1 is justified by the Distributive Property.

Step 4 is justified by the Symmetric Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Nigel expressed as

4(5x−12)−7x=5x.

First, we need to expand the bracket using the distributive property

4(5x−12)−7x=5x.

4(5x)-4(12) -7x = 5x

20x - 48 - 7x = 5x

Hence Step 1 is justified by the Distributive Property.

Next is to collect the like terms;

20x - 7x - 48 = 5x

Take the difference

13x - 48 = 5x

Next is to subtract 13x from both sides according to the symmetric property

13x - 48 - 13x = 5x - 13x

Hence Step 4 is justified by the Symmetric Property

The resulting equation will be

0-48 = -8x

Divide both sides by -8

-48/-8 = -8x/-8

6 = x

Hence the correct justifications are Step 1 is justified by the Distributive Property AND Step 4 is justified by the Symmetric Property

Solve for x write the exact answer using either base -10 or base-e logarithms
jeka57 [31]

<u>Given</u>:

The given expression is 2^{x+5}=13^{2 x}

We need to determine the value of x using either base - 10 or base - e logarithms.

<u>Value of x:</u>

Let us determine the value of x using the base - e logarithms.

Applying the log rule that if f(x)=g(x) then \ln (f(x))=\ln (g(x))

Thus, we get;

\ln \left(2^{x+5}\right)=\ln \left(13^{2 x}\right)

Applying the log rule, \log _{a}\left(x^{b}\right)=b \cdot \log _{a}(x), we get;

(x+5) \ln (2)=2 x \ln (13)

Expanding, we get;

x \ln (2)+5 \ln (2)=2 x \ln (13)

Subtracting both sides by 5 \ln (2), we get;

x \ln (2)=2 x \ln (13)-5 \ln (2)

Subtracting both sides by 2 x \ln (13), we get;

x \ln (2)-2 x \ln (13)=-5 \ln (2)

Taking out the common term x, we have;

x( \ln (2)-2 \ln (13))=-5 \ln (2)

                          x=\frac{-5 \ln (2)}{\ln (2)-2 \ln (13)}

                          x=\frac{5 \ln (2)}{2 \ln (13)-\ln (2)}

Thus, the value of x is x=\frac{5 \ln (2)}{2 \ln (13)-\ln (2)}

In order to set​ rates, an insurance company is trying to estimate the number of sick days that full time workers at an auto rep
son4ous [18]

Answer:

D. 31

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.025 = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A previous study indicated that the population standard deviation is 2.8 days.

This means that \sigma = 2.8

How large a sample must be selected if the company wants to be​ 95% confident that the true mean differs from the sample mean by no more than 1​ day?

This is n for which M = 1. So

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

1 = 1.96\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{n}}

\sqrt{n} = 1.96*2.8

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.96*2.8)^2

n = 30.12

Rounding up, at least 31 people are needed, and the correct answer is given by option D.
