3^x= 3*2^x solve this equation​

Mathematics
1 answer:
kompoz [17]2 years ago

In the equation

3^x = 3\cdot 2^x

divide both sides by 2^x to get

\dfrac{3^x}{2^x} = 3 \cdot \dfrac{2^x}{2^x} \\\\ \implies \left(\dfrac32\right)^x = 3

Take the base-3/2 logarithm of both sides:

\log_{3/2}\left(\dfrac32\right)^x = \log_{3/2}(3) \\\\ \implies x \log_{3/2}\left(\dfrac 32\right) = \log_{3/2}(3) \\\\ \implies \boxed{x = \log_{3/2}(3)}

Alternatively, you can divide both sides by 3^x:

\dfrac{3^x}{3^x} = \dfrac{3\cdot 2^x}{3^x} \\\\ \implies 1 = 3 \cdot\left(\dfrac23\right)^x \\\\ \implies \left(\dfrac23\right)^x = \dfrac13

Then take the base-2/3 logarith of both sides to get

\log_{2/3}\left(2/3\right)^x = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac23\right) = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x = \log_{2/3}\left(\dfrac13\right) \\\\ \implies x = \log_{2/3}\left(3^{-1}\right) \\\\ \implies \boxed{x = -\log_{2/3}(3)}

(Both answers are equivalent)

Answer:

24.997 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diameter:

7(2) = 14 cm

Find the circumference:

C = \pi d

C = \pi (14)

C = 43.988

Divide the circumference by 4:

43.988/4 = 10.997

(This is the length of the curved side)

Add length to the other 2 sides:

7 + 7 + 10.997 = 24.997

13 cans of paint with 5/6 liters of paint in each were used to paint 4 identical cars. How can you calculate the amount of paint
brilliants [131]

Answer:

(B) 5/6 ·13÷4

(C) 5/6 ÷4·13

(D) 5/6 · 13/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of paint per can = \[\frac{5}{6}\] liters.

Number of cans used to paint 4 cars = 13

Total amount of paint used for 4 cars = \[13 * \frac{5}{6}\] liters.

= \[\frac{13 * 5}{6}\] liters.

= \[\frac{65}{6}\] liters.

Total amount of paint used for 1 car = \[\frac{65}{6} \div 4\] liters.

= \[\frac{65}{24}\] liters.

Of the given options, option B,C and D correspond to the same value.
