Answer:

$12

Step-by-step explanation:

amount of tax = $0.72

percent of tax= 6%

Let the original cost be x

so that

6% of x= 0.72

solve for x

6/100*x= 0.72

0.06x= 0.72

divide both sides by 0.06

x= 0.72/0.06

x=$12

Hence the cost is $12

What is the asymptote for the graph of this logarithmic function?<br><br> f(x) = log3(x – 1)
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Vertical Asymptote:

x=1

Horizontal asymptote:

it does not exist

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

f(x)=log_3(x-1)

Vertical asymptote:

we know that vertical asymptotes are values of x where f(x) becomes +inf or -inf

we know that any log becomes -inf when value inside log is zero

so, we can set value inside log to zero

and then we can solve for x

x-1=0

we get

x=1

Horizontal asymptote:

we know that

horizontal asymptote is a value of y when x is +inf or -inf

For finding horizontal asymptote , we find lim x-->inf or -inf

\lim_{x \to \infty}  f(x)= \lim_{x \to \infty}log_3(x-1)

\lim_{x \to \infty}  f(x)=log_3(\infty-1)

\lim_{x \to \infty}  f(x)=undefined

so, it does not exist

Please help me simplify these expressions
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

4. -2s^9

7. 8b^10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, focus on the number part of the expression. For 4), multiply -2 x -1 x -1 = -2. Then, look at the exponents. When you're multiplying exponents with the same base (in number 4, the base is s), you can add the exponents.

2+3+4 = 9; which makes it s^9. Multiply -2 x s^9, which gives you -2s^9.

Same thing for 7). Multiply all the numbers first. this gives you 8. (Remember two negatives equals a positive). Add all of the exponents of b together, which gives you 10. (when a variable has no exponent, it means that the exponent is 1.) Multiplying 8 and b^10 should give you 8b^10.

It may help to brush up on exponent rules and sign rules.

Extra points!! A candle is 17 in tall after burning for 3 hours. After 5
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1) h=-t+20  

2) 12 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

In this case:

y=h (The height of the candle in inches)

x=t (The time in hours)

Then, we can rewrite it:

h=mt+b

Based on the information provided in the exercise, the line passes through these points:

(3,17) and (5,15)

Then, we can find the slope of the line with the formula m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}:

 m=\frac{15-17}{5-3}=-1

Now we need to substitute the slope and one of the points into  h=mt+b  and then solve for "b":

17=(-1)(3)+b\\\\b=17+3\\\\b=20

Substituting values, we get that the a linear equation that models the relationship between the heigth of the candle and the time, is:

h=-t+20  

2) We must substitute t=8 into the linear equation  h=-t+20 in order to find the height of the candle after burning 8 hours:

 h=-(8)+20\\\\h=12
