You might have made an error the first time you solved for x. I got x = -0.5.
When you have your log base 4, the way you cancel that out is by making 4 the base on both sides, so you get 4^(log4) to reduce to 1, and you're left with:
2x + 3 = 4^(1/2) ... Simplify
2x + 3 = 2
2x = -1
x = -1/2
If you plug that back in, everything checks out. Maybe double check your use of logarithm/exponent properties?
Answer:
a) we have the numbers 0, 2, 3, 5, 5. The mean and the median are both 3
b) we have the numbers 0, 0, 3, 5, 7. The mean and the median are both 3
In both cases the mean and the median are 3, but the mode differs. The mean and the median do not uniquely determine the mode.
Step-by-step explanation:
0.10(5000) = 500
0.15(10,000) = 1500
total commission on 15,000 = (150 + 500) = 2,000
Answer:
1) 2x - y = 26.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution = (18, 10)
2x - y = 26 fits the bill
as 2(18) - 10
= 36 - 10
= 26.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If it is a parallelogram the opposite sides will a have the same slope.
Using the diagram we see from the coordinates of A and B:
Slope of AB = (5 - -1)/(-1 - -5)
= 6/4
= 3/2.
In the same way
slope of CD = (2 - -4) / (1 - -3)
= 3/2.
So AB and CD can be shown to be parallel.
Similarly the lines BC and AD are parallel.
So the figure is a parallelogram
Finding the perimeter (counting the units between the points):
Perimeter = 2AB + 2BC
By Pythagoras:
AB = sqrt (6^2 + 4^2) = sqrt 52
BC = sqrt (3^2 + 2^2) = sqrt 13
So Perimeter = 2sqrt52 + 2sqrt13
= 4sqrt13 + 2 sqrt13
= 6sqrt13
or 21.63 unit^2 to 2 decimal places.
Area = sqrt52 * perpendicular distance between the lines AB and CD.
