Answer:

20% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the net decrease: Peter started at 80kg and his weight is now 64kg, which is a 16kg decrease. Next, we need to find what percentage of 80kg 16kg represents. First, let's find what part of 80 is 16:

16/80 = 1/5

To convert this to a percent, we need to find an equivalent fraction to 1/5 with a denominator of 100. To do this, we can multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/5 by 20, giving us 20/100, or 20%.

Write an equation that represents the line. (-3,-6) and (2,-2) use exact numbers

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Given:

The line passes through (-3,-6) and (2,-2).

To find:

The equation of line.

Solution:

If a line passes through two points $(x_1,y_1)\text{ and }(x_2,y_2)$ , then the equation of line is

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

The line passes through (-3,-6) and (2,-2). So, the equation of line is

$y-(-6)=\dfrac{-2-(-6)}{2-(-3)}(x-(-3))$

$y+6=\dfrac{-2+6}{2+3}(x+3)$

$y+6=\dfrac{4}{5}(x+3)$

$y+6=\dfrac{4}{5}(x)+\dfrac{4}{5}(3)$

Subtract 6 from both sides.

$y=\dfrac{4}{5}(x)+\dfrac{12}{5}-6$

$y=\dfrac{4}{5}(x)+\dfrac{12-30}{5}$

$y=\dfrac{4}{5}(x)+\dfrac{-18}{5}$

$y=\dfrac{4}{5}(x)-\dfrac{18}{5}$

Therefore, the equation of line is $y=\dfrac{4}{5}(x)-\dfrac{18}{5}$ .

convert the following logarithmic equation to the equivalent exponential equation. Use the caret (^) to enter exponents. y=ln x

GarryVolchara [31]

1. To solve this problem, you need to remember that an exponential function has the following form:

f(x)=a^x

"a" is the base and "x" is the exponent.

2. It is important to know that the logarithmic functions and the exponential functionsare inverse. Then, you have:

y=ln x
 e^y=e^(lnx)
 e^y=x

3. Therefore, the answer is:

x=e^y
