Find the value of x for which m ll n

Nick randomly selects a digit from the set { 0 , 1 , 2 , . . . , 9 } and a letter from the set { A, B, C, . . ., Z } . Matthew w

Alex787 [66]

Answer: 259/260 or 0.99615 (depending on which answer format your teacher wants)

There are 10 numbers in the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 9}. There are 26 letters in the set {A, B, C, ..., Z}. Multiply those values: 10*26 = 260. So there are 260 ways to pick a number followed by a letter. One example is 7P.

There is only one way Matthew can get the correct answer, and there are 260 - 1 = 259 ways to get the wrong answer. We divide 259 over 260 to get the probability of getting the incorrect answer, which is 259/260.

If you need this fraction in decimal form, then use a calculator to find that 259/260 = 0.99615 approximately

Evaluate each logarithm. Do not use a calculator. Log (125)(1/25)

svetlana [45]

Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Log125(1/25)=x

Raise each side to the base of 125

125^Log125(1/25)=125^x

1/25 = 125^x

Rewrite 25 as a power of 5 and 125 as a power of 5

1 / 5^2 = 5^3^x

The if power is in the denominator, we can bring it to the numerator by making it negative

5^-2 = 5^3^x

We know that a^b^c = a^(b*c)

5^-2 = 5^(3*x)

Since the bases are the same, the exponents are the same

-2 = 3x

Divide by 3

-2/3 = 3x/3

-2/3 =x

An open box with a square base is to have a volume of 18 ft^3.

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

2.29 ft of side length and 1.14 height

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Volume V = x2h, where x is side of square base and h is hite.

Then surface area S = x2 + 4xh because box is open.

b) From V = x2h = 6 we have h = 6/x2.

Substitude in formula for surface area: S = x2 + 4x·6/x2, S = x2 + 24/x.

We get S as function of one variable x. To get minimum we have to find derivative S' = 2x - 24/x2 = 0, from here 2x3 - 24 = 0, x3 = 12, x = (12)1/3 ≅ 2.29 ft.

Then h = 6/(12)2/3 = (12)1/3/2 ≅ 1.14 ft.

To prove that we have minimum let get second derivative: S'' = 2 + 48/x3, S''(121/3) = 2 + 48/12 = 6 > 0.

And because by second derivative test we have minimum: Smin = (12)2/3 + 4(12)1/3(12)1/3/2 = 3(12)2/3 ≅ 15.72 ft2
