Answer:

1. 3(0.96059601^t) = 15; t = -40.03

2. 4.121204(1.01^t) = 8; t = 66.66

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

(a^b)^c = a^(bc)

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

The solution for an exponential problem using logarithms is ...

a·b^x = c ⇒ log(c/a)/log(b) = x

_____

1. Rewrite: (3)(0.99^4)^t = 15 ⇒ 3(0.96059601^t) = 15

Solution: t = log(15/3)/log(0.96059601) ≈ -40.03

2. Rewrite: 4(1.01^3)(1.01^t) = 8 ⇒ 4.121204(1.01^t) = 8

Solution: t = log(8/4.121204)/log(1.01) ≈ 66.66

Answer:

1) x= 35 , y = 18

2) x = 20 , y = 23.33

3) x = 11

4) x = 9

5) x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1)As the triangles are similar, here the ratio is as;

$\frac{JK}{NM} = \frac{KL}{ML} = \frac{LJ}{LN}$

$\frac{40}{16} = \frac{x}{14} = \frac{45}{y}$

from here, x=35 and y = 18

2)As the triangles are similar, here the ratio is;

$\frac{DE}{HJ} = \frac{EF}{JG} = \frac{FD}{GH}$

$\frac{9}{15} = \frac{14}{y} = \frac{12}{x}$

from here, x=20 and y= 23.33

3)As the triangles are similar, here the ratio is;

$\frac{QR}{TU} = \frac{RS}{UV}$

$\frac{24}{x +5} = \frac{54}{36} here, x = 114)As the triangles are similar, here the ratio is; [tex]\frac{AB}{AD} = \frac{BC}{DE}$

$\frac{28}{20} = \frac{2x+3}{15}$

here, x = 9

5)As the triangles are similar, here the ratio is;

$\frac{NP}{RP} = \frac{MP}{QP}$

$\frac{x+8}{3x-9} = \frac{24}{28}$ ,

from here, x = 10
