Answer:

The right answer is "5.9". A further solving is provided below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Initial Magnitude,

M₁ = 3.9

Let Second magnitude be M₂.

Now,

⇒  M_2-M_1=log(\frac{l_2}{l_1} )

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  M_2-3.9 = log (120)

On putting the value of "log 120", we get

⇒  M_2-3.9=2.079

On adding "3.9" both sides, we get

⇒  M_2-3.9+3.9=2.079+3.9

⇒                    M_2=5.9

What are the solutions of the equation x6 – 9x3 + 8 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.
Natalka [10]
X6 – 9x3 + 8 = 0
let u = x^3
u^2 - 9u + 8 = 0 
(u-8)(u-1) = 0
u = 1,8
back substitute 
1 = x^3
8 = x^3

Ashley uses 1/4 package of raisin for a fruit cake. She then uses 1/9 of the remainder for muffins. What fraction of the package
Flura [38]
\text {Fruit cake = } \dfrac{1}{4}

\text {Raisin left = } 1 -  \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{4}{4} - \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{3}{4}

\text {Muffins  = } \dfrac{1}{9}  \times  \dfrac{3}{4} =  \dfrac{3}{36} =  \dfrac{1}{12}

\text {Raisin left = } \dfrac{3}{4}  - \dfrac{1}{12} =\dfrac{9}{12}  - \dfrac{1}{12} = \dfrac{8}{12}  -= \dfrac{2}{3}

Answer: She has 2/3 of the package left.

What is the remainder when x3 - 1 is divided<br> by (x + 2)?
Viktor [21]

Given:

The polynomial x^3-1 is divided by (x+2).

To find:

The remainder.

Solution:

Remainder theorem: If a polynomial p(x) is divided by (x-c), then the remainder is p(c).

Consider the polynomial:

p(x)=x^3-1

It is divided by (x+2). So, by the remainder theorem the remainder is p(-2).

Substituting x=-2 in the above polynomial, we get

p(-2)=(-2)^3-1

p(-2)=-8-1

p(-2)=-9

Therefore, the remainder is -9.
