Answer:
Tree diagrams display all the possible outcomes of an event. Each branch in a tree diagram represents a possible outcome. Tree diagrams can be used to find the number of possible outcomes and calculate the probability of possible outcomes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Wally wants to determine the height of a statue that casts a 164-inch shadow by comparing it to his own height and shadow length. Wally is 68 inches tall, casts a shadow that is 41 inches in length.
We will use proportions to solve for the height of the statue because proportions state that ratio between two proportional quantities is same.
Upon substituting our given values in above equation, we will get:
Therefore, the height of the statue is 272 inches.
Given: <span>9=(1/27)^(a+3)
[Note: Please review rules of PEMDAS.
The question posted as is means
</span><span>9=[(1/27)^a]+3 which is probably not what you mean. It has been interpreted with (a+3) as the exponent, please check.]
</span><span>
Need to find value of a that satisfies above.
We will first isolate a in order to solve for its value.
</span>9=(1/27)^(a+3)
Switch unknown to the left
(1/27)^(a+3) = 9
Since both 27 and 9 are powers of 3, we can take log to base 3.
take log (base 3) on both sides, applying rule of logarithm of exponents.
(a+3)log_3(1/27)=log_3(9)
(a+3)log_3(3^(-3))=log_3(3^2)
Apply definition of logarithm [log_a(a^k)=k]
(a+3)(-3)=2
(a+3)=-2/3
a=-3 2/3=-11/3
Check: (1/27)^(-11/3+3)=(1/27)^(-2/3)=(3^(-3))^(-2/3)=3^(-3(-2/3))=3^2=9 ok
Answer: a=-11/3 or a=-3.667 (approx.)
