Answer: 9^(x-3) = 9^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Realizing that 729 = 9^3, we can rewrite the equation ...

9^(x -3) = 729

as ...

9^(x -3) = 9^3 . . . . . . matches the second selection

Recognizing that 9 = 3^2, a couple of other equivalent forms can be made.

(3^2)^(x -3) = (3^2)^3

3^(2x-6) = 3^6

or, taking the square root, ...

3^(x -3) = 3^3

None of these forms match any answer choices.

_____

The solution will be found by matching exponents:

x -3 = 3

x = 6

The vertices of a triangle ABC are A(7, 5), B(4, 2), and C(9, 2). What is measure of angle ABC? 30° 45° 56.31° 78.69°

GenaCL600 [577]

The measure of angle ABC is 45°

Explanation

Vertices of the triangle are: A(7, 5), B(4, 2), and C(9, 2)

According to the diagram below....

Length of the side BC (a) $=\sqrt{(4-9)^2+(2-2)^2}= \sqrt{25}= 5$

Length of the side AC (b) $= \sqrt{(7-9)^2 +(5-2)^2}= \sqrt{4+9}=\sqrt{13}$

Length of the side AB (c) $= \sqrt{(7-4)^2 +(5-2)^2} =\sqrt{9+9}=\sqrt{18}$

We need to find ∠ABC or ∠B . So using Cosine rule, we will get...

$cosB= \frac{a^2+c^2-b^2}{2ac} \\ \\ cos B= \frac{(5)^2+(\sqrt{18})^2-(\sqrt{13})^2}{2*5*\sqrt{18} }\\ \\ cosB= \frac{25+18-13}{10\sqrt{18}} =\frac{30}{10\sqrt{18}}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{18}}\\ \\ cosB=\frac{3}{3\sqrt{2}} =\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\\ \\ B= cos^-^1(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})= 45 degree$

So, the measure of angle ABC is 45°

A fish tank contains 24 L of water. Water is added to increase the volume by 12.5%. What is the new volume of water in the tank?

Ronch [10]

Answer:

27 L

Step-by-step explanation:

To find 12.5% of 24, move the decimal all the way to the left and multiply 24 by 0.125. You get 3, which is how much was added to the original volume.

24 + 3 = 27, which is the new volume.
