Answer:

I'll assume "position 7" refers to distance and not to the order of other people.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We want an equation of the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x=0).  We can assume that "claps" is a new measure of distance.  0 claps is the finish.

Let's express the information provided in point format.

"At 2 claps, Joe is in position 7"  is (2,7)  2 is the distance (claps) and 7 is the time (minutes)

And we can say the rate is also the slope of a line.  "rate of 3 claps per minute" is 3c/m, where c is claps and m is minutes.

We can start a line equation by stating y = 3x + b, where we're using the rate, 3 c/m, as the slope, m.

We need to determine the value of b.  We can use the given point (2,7) and solve for m:

y = 3x + b

7 = 3*(2) + b

b = 1

The equation becomes y = 3x + 1

y is the distance in claps and x is the time in minutes.

At a time of 2 claps he is at position of 7.  b = 1 means he started 1 clap further from the finish at 0 claps.

To find the time required to reach the finish, we need to know the total distance, in claps.

Art [367]

Answer:

Error:lnx^2=ln 3x not ln\frac{3x}{0}

Solution:x=0 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the error and correct answer

Given:2ln x=ln(3x)-[ln9-2ln(3)]

lnx^2=ln(3x)-[ln9-ln3^2]

Using the formula

alog b=logb^a

lnx^2=ln(3x)-[ln9-ln9]

lnx^2=ln(3x)-0

lnx^2=ln(3x)

x^2=3x

x^2-3x=0

x(x-3)=0

Therefore, x=0 and x=3

But last step in the given solution

lnx^2=ln\frac{3x}{0}=\infty

It is wrong this property is used when

log m-log n then

log\frac{m}{n}

Hence, the student wrote  lnx^2=ln\frac{3x}{0}instead of lnx^2=ln3x and solution is given by

x=0 and x=3
