The answer would be A.) 1
To find this answer you solve for x. Subtract 3/2 from both sides. This will give you 1/2x = 1/2^x. Then, divide by 1/2 on both sides to get x = 1.
To check this fill in x with 1. Then solve.
- 1/2 * 1/1 + 3/2 = 2^1
- 1/2 + 3/2 = 2
- 4/2 = 2
- 2 = 2
Thus making 1 the answer. Here's an image to show how I got this. I hope this helps!
The first thing we are going to do is draw a diagram of the situation to help us to solve the situation.
We an draw tow similar triangle between the length of the shadows and the height of the stick and the pole.
Since <span>meter stick has a length of 1 meter, the height of our smaller triangle is 1 meter. Let </span>
![h](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=h)
be height of of the pole. Since both triangles are similiar we can establish a proportion between their corresponding sides and solve for
![h](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=h)
:
![\frac{h}{1} = \frac{9.7}{2.4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7Bh%7D%7B1%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B9.7%7D%7B2.4%7D%20)
![h=\frac{9.7}{2.4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=h%3D%5Cfrac%7B9.7%7D%7B2.4%7D)
![h=4.04](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=h%3D4.04)
We can conclude that the pole is
4.04 meters tall.
The total amount of calories burnt in jogging 2 miles = 185 calories
We have to determine the number of calories burned in jogging 3 miles.
Firstly, we will determine the amount of calories burnt in jogging 1 mile. We will use unitary method to evaluate this.
So, the total amount of calories burnt in jogging 1 mile = ![185 \div 2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=185%20%5Cdiv%202)
= 92.5 calories
So, the amount of calories burnt in 3 miles = ![3 \times 92.5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3%20%5Ctimes%2092.5)
= 277.5 calories
Therefore, 277.5 calories are burned in jogging 3 miles.
Answer:
Each tray has 5 colours and one of the colour on the tray is purple. Hence 1/5 of the colours on the tray is purple and thus 1/5 of the colours on the 20 trays is purple. The fraction of colours on the trays will not change. If written out logically, 20 purples out of 100 colours in total on the trays will also given the fraction 1/5.
We have the equation:
![y=a\cdot b^x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3Da%5Ccdot%20b%5Ex)
We know two points and we will use them to calculate the parameters a and b.
The point (0,3) will let us know a, as b^0=1.
![\begin{gathered} y=a\cdot b^x \\ 3=a\cdot b^0=a \\ a=3 \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20y%3Da%5Ccdot%20b%5Ex%20%5C%5C%203%3Da%5Ccdot%20b%5E0%3Da%20%5C%5C%20a%3D3%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Now, we use the point (2, 108/25) to calcualte b:
![\begin{gathered} y=3\cdot b^x \\ \frac{108}{25}=3\cdot b^2 \\ 3\cdot b^2=\frac{108}{25} \\ b^2=\frac{108}{25\cdot3}=\frac{108}{3}\cdot\frac{1}{25}=\frac{36}{25} \\ b=\sqrt[]{\frac{36}{25}} \\ b=\frac{\sqrt[]{36}}{\sqrt[]{25}} \\ b=\frac{6}{5} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20y%3D3%5Ccdot%20b%5Ex%20%5C%5C%20%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%7D%3D3%5Ccdot%20b%5E2%20%5C%5C%203%5Ccdot%20b%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%5E2%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B25%5Ccdot3%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B108%7D%7B3%7D%5Ccdot%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B25%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7B25%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%5Cfrac%7B36%7D%7B25%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B36%7D%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B25%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%20b%3D%5Cfrac%7B6%7D%7B5%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Then, we can write the equation as:
