◆ LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES ◆
Answer:
b = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
A heater repairman charges $40 to visit a home, plus $70 per hour for the time he spends on the repair.
This situation can be described by an equation of the form y=mx+b , where
x = the time in hours
y = the cost in dollars.
What is the value of b in this equation?
A heater repairman charges $40 to visit a home, plus $70 per hour for the time he spends on the repair
Writing the above in an equation =
y = $70 × x + $40
y = 70x + 40
Therefore, the value of b in the expression = 40
Answer:
0.70275
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
4e²ˣ⁻¹ -1 = 5
now solving for 'x'
⇒ 4e²ˣ⁻¹ = 5 + 1
or
⇒ 4e²ˣ⁻¹ = 6
or
⇒ 
or
⇒ 
now,
taking natural log both sides, we get
⇒ 2x - 1 = 
also,
we know
⇒
thus,
⇒ 2x - 1 = ln(3) - ln(2)
or
⇒ 2x - 1 = 1.0986 - 0.6931
or
⇒ 2x - 1 = 0.4055
or
⇒ 2x = 0.4055 + 1
or
⇒ 2x = 1.4055
or
⇒ x = 0.70275
