Answer: A. To use algebraic methods to solve geometric problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

Descartes, a French mathematician and a philosopher, explained what is the system of Cartesian Coordinates. In Descartes's system of coordinates, geometry and algebra were united for the first time to create which known as analytic geometry .

Cartesian coordinates are used to plot a point in expanse by giving its respective distance from perpendicular intersecting lines named as x axis and y axis. In coordinate geometry all points, lines, and figures can be drawn in a coordinate plane by references of both the axes.

Which function is equivalent to f(x) = lnx?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

$f(x)=log_ex$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, we can write ln instead of log. WHEN??

Whenever the base of the logarithm is the number "e".

Hence, when we have:

$Log_e$

We can write it in shortcut as:

$Log_e=ln$

Hence, ln x can also be written as $Log_ex$

Fourth answer choice is right.

POSSIBLE POINTS

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The answer is 131 people

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not too sure about equations bc its been a min since I've done them but maybeeeee it's 26x - (1,575) = 5,000 something like that LOL

All I know is that you have to subtract 1575 from 5,000 and then you get 3,435 dollars left and you divide that by 26 people and you get 131.731 but of course you can't have a half of person so it stays at 131.

Hopefully that helped lol
