Answer:

C. 1/6 pound of oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{6}{12}\div3 = \dfrac{6\div3}{12}=\dfrac{2}{2\cdot6}=\dfrac{1}{6}$

Each person would receive 1/6 pound of oranges.

If 3 to the power y = x then y = ?

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

$y=\log_3(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3^y=x$

$\ln(3^y)=\ln(x)$

$y\ln(3)=\ln(x)$

$y=\frac{\displaystyle\ln(x)}{\displaystyle\ln(3)}$

but if

$f(x)=\frac{\displaystyle\ln(x)}{\displaystyle\ln(3)}$

then since

$f(3)=\frac{\displaystyle\ln(3)}{\displaystyle\ln(3)}=1$

$f(x)=\log_3(x)$

$y=\log_3(x)$

$3^y=x$

$\log_3(3^y)=\log_3(x)$

$y\log_3(3)=\log_3(x)$

$\text{but }\,\log_3(3)=1, \text{so,}$

$y=\log_3(x)$

What is the length of ac <br> help pls

Lelu [443]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle you can tell by the two congruent/equal angles

angle A is congruent/equal to angle C by definition the two sides will be equal.

x-4=3x-8

1. get all you x's on one side. by subtracting x from both sides you don't have to deal with dividing by negatives later on.

x-x-4=3x-x-8

-4=2x-8

now you want to get x by itself so add 8 to both sides

4= 2x

x is still not by itself so divide both sides by 2

x=2

Write an equation in point-slope form for the line.<br> (1,3) <br> (0,1)<br> m=4

Anna [14]

Given coordinates (1,3) and (0,1).

In order to find the equation of line, we need to find the slope between given coordinates.

We know slope formula,

m= $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

We have (x1,y1) = (1,3) and (x2,y2) = (0,1).

Plugging values of x1,y1,x2 and y2 in slope formula, we get

$m=\frac{1-3}{0-1}$

Simplifying top and bottom of the fraction we got for slope

$m=\frac{-2}{-1}=2$

We got slope m=2.

We are given second point (0,1), where x-coordinate is 0 and y-coordinate is 1.

y-intercept is a point on y-axis, where x=0.

Therefore, y-intercept = 1.

Now, applying slope-intercept form of the linear equation

y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.

m=2 and b=1.

Plugging values of m and b in slope-intercept form, we get

y=2x+1.

Therefore, point-slope form for the line is y=2x+1.
