Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Product Rule of Logarithms, the logarithm of the product of numbers is the sum of the logarithms of the numbers.

$log(x) + log(x - 1) = log(x(x - 1)) = log( {x}^{2} - x ) = log(3x + 12)$

Raise both sides to the power of 10 to eliminate the logs, obtaining:

${x}^{2} - x = 3x + 12$

${x}^{2} - 4x - 12 = 0$

$(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0$

x = -2 or x = 6. Since x = -2 is extraneous, it follows that x = 6.

First, you add up the non-$10 winning cars so 100+25=125.
then you take 5:125 because you want the winning 10$ against not winning. the to get 1 you divide both numbert by 5 to get 1 on the left. so you get 1:25.

The volume of a right circular cone is 300 cubic inches. What is the volume, in cubic inches, of a right cylinder th

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The volume of the cylinder is 900 cubic inches

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let V1 represent the volume of a cone and V2 represents the volume of a cylinder

$V_1 = 300in^3$

Required

Determine the volume of a cylinder with same dimension

The volume of a cone is calculated as:

$V_1 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

The volume of a cylinder is calculated as:

$V_2 = \pi r^2h$

Since, the cone and cylinder have the same dimensions, we can substitute $\pi r^2h$ for $V_2$ in $V_1 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$

So, we have:

$V_1 = \frac{1}{3} * V_2$

Multiply both sides by 3

$3 * V_1 = \frac{1}{3} * V_2 * 3$

$3 * V_1 = V_2$

$V_2 = 3 * V_1$

Substitute $300in^3$ for $V_1$

$V_2 = 3 * 300in^3$

$V_2 = 900in^3$

<em>Hence, the volume of the cylinder is 900 cubic inches</em>

Find the equation of the axis of symmetry of the following parabola algebraically,<br> y = 3x^2+18

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex-form equation for vertical parabola:

y = a(x-h)² + k

with

vertex (h,k)

axis of symmetry: x = h

Apply your equation

y = 3x² + 18

vertex (0,18)

axis of symmetry: x = 0
