What is the first step in solving In(x - 1) = In6 - Inx for x?

Mathematics

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

In(x-1) = In(6) - In(x)

In(x-1) + In(x) = In(6)

In((x-1)x) = In(6)

In(x^2-x) = In(6)

x^2-x=6

x^2-x-6=0

x^2+2x-3x-6=0

x(x+2)-3(x+2)=0

(x-3)(x+2)=0

x=3 because x=-2 need to be cancel out

3. Look at the picture.

We have the right angle triangle. We know the sum of measures of angles in triangle is equal 180°. Therefore:

x^o+90^o+43^o=180^o\\\\x^o+133^o=180^o\ \ \ |-133^o\\\\x^o=47^o

Answer:\ \boxed{47^o}

4.
Look at the picture.

Use Pythagorean theorem:

x^2+14^2=(10+x)^2\\\\x^2+196=10^2+2\cdot10\cdot x+x^2\ \ \ \ |-x^2\\\\196=100+20x\ \ \ |-100\\\\20x=96\ \ \ |:20\\\\x=4.8

Used:\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2

Answer:\ \boxed{4.8\ units}

5.
TRUE: 1; 2; 4

6.
We find a slope of the line OP:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\O(2;\ 6)\to x_1=2;\ y_1=6\\\\P(4;\ 3)\to x_2=4;\ y_2=3\\\\m=\dfrac{3-6}{4-2}=\dfrac{-3}{2}

We have: OP:\ y=-\dfrac{3}{2}x+b

Now, we must find the slope of the line perpendicular to the line OP.
We know:

k:y=m_1x+b;\ l:y=m_2x+c\\\\k\ \perp\ l\iff m_1m_2=-1

therefore

-\dfrac{3}{2}m_2=-1\ \ \ |\cdot\left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\\\\m_2=\dfrac{2}{3}

So. We have the answer! :)

Answer:\ \boxed{y=\dfrac{2}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{3}}

What is the rate of change of the function y = − 1/4 x + 1
scoray [572]

Answer:

-1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The rate of change is also known as the slope.

Standard equation of a line: y = mx + b

  • y: output
  • m:  slope
  • x: input
  • b: y-intercept

So, if we match the standard form to the given function:

  • y = mx + b
  • y = -1/4x + 1

-1/4 is m, or the rate of change.
