Mrs. Adesso wants to take her class on a trip to either the science center or natural history museum. The science center charges

$7 per student, plus $75 for a guided tour. The natural history museum charges $8 per student, plus $50 for a guided tour. For what number of students is the cost of the trip the same at each museum?

Answer:

  25

Step-by-step explanation:

When we write expressions for the total cost of each field visit and set them equal, we find the solution to be the ratio of the difference in fixed cost to the difference in variable cost.

  y = 75 +7x . . . . . cost for x students to visit the science center

  y = 50 +8x . . . . cost for x students to visit the natural history museum

__

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

  0 = -25 +x

  25 = x . . . . . add 25; the number of students such that costs are equal

The cost will be the same either place for 25 students.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

Here, the fixed cost difference is 75-50=25, and the variable cost difference is 8-7=1. The ratio of these costs is ...

  $25/($1 /student) = 25 students.

This relationship only holds when the higher fixed cost is associated with the lower variable cost. Charges are such that one place caters to larger numbers of students (science center), and one prefers fewer students (natural history museum).

Rewrite the form In exponential form:<br> Log100 = x
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

10^x=100

Step-by-step explanation:

You know how subtraction is the <em>opposite of addition </em>and division is the <em>opposite of multiplication</em>? A logarithm is the <em>opposite of an exponent</em>. You know how you can rewrite the equation 3 + 2 = 5 as 5 - 3 = 2, or the equation 3 × 2 = 6 as 6 ÷ 3 = 2? This is really useful when one of those numbers on the left is unknown. 3 + _ = 8 can be rewritten as 8 - 3 = _, 4 × _ = 12 can be rewritten as 12 ÷ 4 = _. We get all our knowns on one side and our unknown by itself on the other, and the rest is computation.

We know that 3^2=9; as a logarithm, the <em>exponent</em> gets moved to its own side of the equation, and we write the equation like this: \log_3{9}=2, which you read as "the logarithm base 3 of 9 is 2." You could also read it as "the power you need to raise 3 to to get 9 is 2."

One historical quirk: because we use the decimal system, it's assumed that an expression like \log1000 uses <em>base 10</em>, and you'd interpret it as "What power do I raise 10 to to get 1000?"

The expression \log100=x means "the power you need to raise 10 to to get 100 is x," or, rearranging: "10 to the x is equal to 100," which in symbols is 10^x=100.

(If we wanted to, we could also solve this: 10^2=100, so \log100=2)

Can two different numbers have the same absolute value? If yes, give an example. If no, explain why not
zalisa [80]


If u wanna go by a technical term then yes, it can. The positive and negative side of a number. 4 example, -5. It's absolute value is 5. Positive 5's absolute value is 5 as well.

Now if u don't wanna be technical and don't want to use negative numbers, then no, it cannot.
