Darrel bought three t-shirts seeing that 41-5=36/12=THREE
Amma solve it first then ill tell you what i got as the answer:)
A)4^(n+3)=8^14
2^(2×(n+3))=2^(3×14)
2^(2n+6)=2^42
2^2n=2^36
n=18
b) (assuming a : is divide)
3^(2n+1)=9^17/3^3
3^(2n+1)=3^(2×16)/3^3
3^(2n+1)=3^29
3^2n=3^28
2n=28
n=14
d) (6^n)^4×36=216^10
6^4n×6^2=6^(3×10)
6^(4n+2)=6^30
6^4n=6^28
4n=28
n=7
e)7^(n^2)÷7=49^24
7^(n^2-1)=7^(2×24)
7^(n^2)=7^49
n^2=49
n=7
g)15^(n+4)÷5^(n+4)=81^6
3^(n+4)×5^(n+4)÷5^(n+4)=3^(4×6)
3^(n+4)=3^24
n=20
h)81^n÷9^n+9^(n+2)÷9=90÷9^6
9^2n÷9^n+9^(n+2)÷9=9*10/9^6
9^n+9^(n+1)=10/9^5
I don't know where to go from here
I)what?
Our matrix C is the encoder. Let X be our secret message and let B be our encoded message. Therefore the relationship between the 3 can be represented as:
CX = B
So we want to solve for X (our secret message). So using matrix algebra:
X = C^-1*B
where C^-1 is the inverse of C.
C^-1 = | 3 -2 |
|4 -3 |
So we take C^-1 and multiply it by matrix B to get X. Matrix B is already given to us. So just multiply those two. I used a calculator to get:
X = | 20 8 5 3 15 12 15 |
| 18 9 19 2 12 21 5 |
And since A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc....
We decode our message and it says:
X = | T H E C O L O |
| R I S B L U E |
So the answer is: The color is blue (D)
