Use this property of logarithms:
Your equation transforms into:
Now, you have to apply the definition of a logarithm to express the equation in exponential form:
In case you don't remember, this is the definition of a logarithm:
The log is the exponent (y) you have to raise the base (b) to in order to get the power (x).
Finally, solve the rational equation:
The correct answer is d.
Answer:
- first mechanic: $105/hour
- second mechanic: $55/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r represent the rate charged by the first mechanic. Then 160-r is the rate charged by the second mechanic. The total of charges is ...
20r +5(160-r) = 2375
15r +800 = 2375 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
15r = 1575 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 800
r = 105 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 15. First mechanic's rate.
160-r = 55 . . . . . Second mechanic's rate
The first mechanic charged $105 per hour; the second, $55 per hour.
-16x+40 is the solution of this problem.
Here we are given the x intercepts at x=3 and x=9
So let us try to make quadratic equation for this using given information.
We have factors in the form (x-a)(x-b)
where a and b are x intercepts given to us.
So rewriting in factored form:
Now let us simplify it:
Let us find the vertex now,
For a quadratic equation of the form:
For x coordinate , we have the formula,
So using this formula for our equation,
So x = 6
Answer: The x-coordinate of the parabola's vertex is 6.
Answer:
The limit that 97.5% of the data points will be above is $912.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean 
and standard deviation 
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this problem, we have that:
Find the limit that 97.5% of the data points will be above.
This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.975 = 0.025. So it is X when Z = -1.96.
So
The limit that 97.5% of the data points will be above is $912.
