Find the distance between the points (10,10) and (–5,

Solve for the values of x in the equation: 2^(x) = 4x.

Eva8 [605]

There are two of them.

I don't know a mechanical way to 'solve' for them.

One can be found by trial and error:

x=0 . . . . . 2^0 = 1 . . . . . 4(0) = 0 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=1 . . . . . 2^1 = 2 . . . . . 4(1) = 4 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=2 . . . . . 2^2 = 4 . . . . . 4(2) = 8 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=3 . . . . . 2^3 = 8 . . . . . 4(3) = 12 . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=4 . . . . . 2^4 = 16 . . . . 4(4) = 16 . . . . Yes ! That works ! yay !

For the other one, I constructed tables of values for 2^x and (4x)
in a spread sheet, then graphed them, and looked for the point
where the graphs of the two expressions cross.

The point is near, but not exactly, x = 0.30990693...

If there's a way to find an analytical expression for the value, it must involve
some esoteric kind of math operations that I didn't learn in high school or
engineering school, and which has thus far eluded me during my lengthy
residency in the college of hard knocks. If anybody out there has it, I'm
waiting with all ears.

What is the slope of the line that passes through (2, 12) and (4, 20)?On the graph of the equation 3x + 2y = 18, what is the val

Paha777 [63]

Answer: The slope of the line that passes through (2, 12) and (4, 20) is 4.

The value of the y-intercept is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line passing through (a,b) and (c,d) = $\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}$

Then, the slope of the line that passes through (2, 12) and (4, 20) = $\dfrac{20-12}{4-2}$

$=\dfrac{8}{2}=4$

So, the slope of the line that passes through (2, 12) and (4, 20) is 4.

To find the y-intercept of 3x + 2y = 18, first write in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where c= y-intercept ).

$2y=-3x+18\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+9$

By comparison, c= 9

Hence, the value of the y-intercept is 9.

Can someone please help me on number 16-ABC

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

-2x < 10

-6 < -2x

Part a) Is x = 0 a solution to both inequalities

FOR -2x < 10

substituting x = 0 in -2x < 10

-2x < 10

-3(0) < 10

0 < 10

TRUE!

Thus, x = 0 satisfies the inequality -2x < 10.

∴ x = 0 is the solution to the inequality -2x < 10.

FOR -6 < -2x

substituting x = 0 in -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

-6 < -2(0)

-6 < 0

TRUE!

Thus, x = 0 satisfies the inequality -6 < -2x

∴ x = 0 is the solution to the inequality -6 < -2x

Conclusion:

x = 0 is a solution to both inequalites.

Part b) Is x = 4 a solution to both inequalities

FOR -2x < 10

substituting x = 4 in -2x < 10

-2x < 10

-3(4) < 10

-12 < 10

TRUE!

Thus, x = 4 satisfies the inequality -2x < 10.

∴ x = 4 is the solution to the inequality -2x < 10.

FOR -6 < -2x

substituting x = 4 in -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

-6 < -2(4)

-6 < -8

FALSE!

Thus, x = 4 does not satisfiy the inequality -6 < -2x

∴ x = 4 is the NOT a solution to the inequality -6 < -2x.

Conclusion:

x = 4 is NOT a solution to both inequalites.

Part c) Find another value of x that is a solution to both inequalities.

solving -2x < 10

$-2x\:$

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverses the inequality)

$\left(-2x\right)\left(-1\right)>10\left(-1\right)$

Simplify

$2x>-10$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}>\frac{-10}{2}$

$x>-5$

$-2x-5\:\\ \:\mathrm{Interval\:Notation:}&\:\left(-5,\:\infty \:\right)\end{bmatrix}$

solving -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

switch sides

$-2x>-6$

Multiply both sides by -1 (reverses the inequality)

$\left(-2x\right)\left(-1\right)$

Simplify

$2x$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}$

$x$

$-6$

Thus, the two intervals:

$\left(-\infty \:,\:3\right)$

$\left(-5,\:\infty \:\right)$

The intersection of these two intervals would be the solution to both inequalities.

$\left(-\infty \:,\:3\right)$ and $\left(-5,\:\infty \:\right)$

As x = 1 is included in both intervals.

so x = 1 would be another solution common to both inequalities.

<h3>SUBSTITUTING x = 1</h3>

FOR -2x < 10

substituting x = 1 in -2x < 10

-2x < 10

-3(1) < 10

-3 < 10

TRUE!

Thus, x = 1 satisfies the inequality -2x < 10.

∴ x = 1 is the solution to the inequality -2x < 10.

FOR -6 < -2x

substituting x = 1 in -6 < -2x

-6 < -2x

-6 < -2(1)

-6 < -2

TRUE!

Thus, x = 1 satisfies the inequality -6 < -2x

∴ x = 1 is the solution to the inequality -6 < -2x.

Conclusion:

x = 1 is a solution common to both inequalites.
