Answer:

x= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

How to solve your problem

Topics: Algebra

2=8−1⋅64⋅

2=8-1 \cdot \frac{6}{4} \cdot x

2=8−1⋅46​⋅x

Solve

Divide the numbers

2=8−1⋅64⋅

2=8-1 \cdot {\color{#c92786}{\frac{6}{4}}} \cdot x

2=8−1⋅46​⋅x

2=8−1⋅32

2=8-1 \cdot {\color{#c92786}{\frac{3}{2}}}x

2=8−1⋅23​x

Multiply the numbers

2=8−1⋅32

2=8{\color{#c92786}{-1}} \cdot {\color{#c92786}{\frac{3}{2}}}x

2=8−1⋅23​x

2=8−32

2=8{\color{#c92786}{-\frac{3}{2}}}x

2=8−23​x

Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction

2=8−32

2=8-\frac{3}{2}x

2=8−23​x

2=8+−3 2

2=8+\frac{-3x}{2}

2=8+2−3x​

Find common denominator

2=8+−3 2

2=8+\frac{-3x}{2}

2=8+2−3x​ 2 =2⋅82+−3 2

2=\frac{2 \cdot 8}{2}+\frac{-3x}{2}

2=22⋅8​+2−3x ​

Combine fractions with common denominator

2=2⋅82+−3 2

2=\frac{2 \cdot 8}{2}+\frac{-3x}{2}

2=22⋅8​+2−3x​

2=2⋅8−3 2

2=\frac{2 \cdot 8-3x}{2}

2=22⋅8−3x​

Multiply the numbers

2=2⋅8-3 2

2=\frac{{\color{#c92786}{2}} \cdot {\color{#c92786}{8}}-3x}{2}

2=22⋅8−3x​ 2=16−3 2

2=\frac{{\color{#c92786}{16}}-3x}{2}

2=216−3x​

Rearrange terms

2=16−3 2

2=\frac{{\color{#c92786}{16-3x}}}{2}

2=2 16−3x ​2=−3+16 2

2=\frac{{\color{#c92786}{-3x+16}}}{2}

2=2−3x+16​

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

2=−3+16 2 2=\frac{-3x+16}{2}

2=2−3x+16​

2⋅2=2(−3+16 2)

2 \cdot 2=2(\frac{-3x+16}{2})

2⋅2=2(2−3x+16​)

Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

2⋅2=2(−3+16 2)

2 \cdot 2=2(\frac{-3x+16}{2})

2⋅2=2(2−3x+16​)

2⋅2=−3+16

2 \cdot 2=-3x+16

2⋅2=−3x+16

Multiply the numbers

2⋅2=−3+16

{\color{#c92786}{2}} \cdot {\color{#c92786}{2}}=-3x+16

2⋅2=−3x+16

4=−3+16

{\color{#c92786}{4}}=-3x+16

4=−3x+16

Subtract

16

from both sides of the equation

4=−3x+16

4−16=−3+16−16

4{\color{#c92786}{-16}}=-3x+16{\color{#c92786}{-16}}

4−16=−3x+16−16

Simplify

Subtract the numbers

−12=−3

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

−12=−3

\frac{-12}{{\color{#c92786}{-3}}}=\frac{-3x}{{\color{#c92786}{-3}}}

−3−12​=−3−3x​

Simplify

Divide the numbers

Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

Move the variable to the left

= 4

A plastic sun visor allows light to pass through but reduces the intensity of the light. the intensity is reduced by 5% if the p
irinina [24]

Answer: The equation is f(x) = 0.95^{x};

The piece of plastic has to have 10mm of thickness.

Step-by-step explanation: It is known that with 1 mm of thickness, 5% of the intensity is reduced. So, 95% of the light is transmitted.

For each milimetre added, "more" 95% of light is transmitted.

For example, if another milimetre of plastic is added, another 0.95 of light is transmitted:

0.95.0.95 = 0.9025 of light reach the visor

So, the model that relate thickness of plastic and intensity of light is:

f(x) = 0.95^{x}

in which:

f(x) is the intensity of light;

x is thickness in mm;

Using the equation, the thickness necessary to reduce intensity to 60% is:

f(x) = 0.95^{x}

0.6 = 0.95^{x}

log 0.6 = log 0.95^{x}

x. log (0.95) = log (0.6)

x = \frac{log 0.6}{log 0.95}

x = 9.95

x ≈ 10

The thickness necessary to reduce intensity of light to 60% is 10mm.
