The equation for profit is expected to be
  daily profit = (profit on plate)*(number of plates) +(profit on cup)*(number of cups)

We are told that
  profit on plate = k
  profit on cup = k-1
Matching these to the expression above, we find
  x = number of plates
  y = number of cups

You are asked what y represents. It is
  A. The number of cups sold in one day.

Answer: x = 1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the inverse of a Logarithm is an exponential function, we know that the final solution has to involve an exponential function somewhere in it.

1. log B(2) {x} = -4  || given

2. x = 2 ^ -4  || Logarithm rule that allows you to move the base of the logarithm to the base of the exponent on the other side. For example, if you had log B(5) {x} = 3, the base of 5 would move over to the other side and it would be raised to 3; x = 5^3.

3. x = (1) / (2^4) || Simplify. Use the negative exponent rule. This rule always leaves a numerator of 1, and a denominator of your exponent. In this case, it will be 2 ^ -4, so you will do 2^4 which is 16 and you will put that over 1. Resulting in your final answer of x = 1/16

(a) suppose that the displacement of an object is related to time according to the expression x = bt2. what are the dimensions o
Margaret [11]
Displacement x would be in terms of length, while t would be in terms of time.
Therefore the equation would have units of:
length = (b)*time^2
b = length/(time^2)
Therefore, the units of the constant b should be in length per time^2 (for example, in m/s^2, such as in acceleration).

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

  373/500 = 0.746

Step-by-step explanation:

373 out of 500 is represented by the fraction 373/500.

This value is easily converted to a decimal number by multiplying numerator and denominator by 2:

  (373×2)/(500×2) = 746/1000 = 0.746

_____

You can also divide 373 by 500 using a calculator to get the decimal result.
