tom have?

7 0

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t and m represent the numbers of cards had by Tom and Max, respectively. Then the problem statement tells us ...

t + m = 72
4m +2 = t

We want to solve for t. If we multiply the first equation by 4 and subtract the second, we get ...

... 4(t +m) -(4m +2) = 4(72) -(t)

... 4t +4m -4m -2 = 288 -t . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 5t = 290 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add t+2, collect terms

... t = 58 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of t

_____

<em>Alternate Solution</em>

You can work this in your head if you realize that subtacting 2 from the total means that Max has 1/5 of the new amount. 1/5 of 70 is 14, so Tom has 72 - 14 = 58 cards.

The population p (in millions) of Italy from 1990 through 2008 can be approximated by the model p=56.8e^o.oo15t , where t repres

dimulka [17.4K]

As we already have the model that describes the change of the population in Italy in terms of the years that have elapsed, we only have to replace the conditions that are requested in that equation.

Therefore to find the population of Italy in the year 2000 (t = 10 years) substitute t = 10 in the equation and have:

$p = 56.8e^{0.0015*10}\\$

$p=57.6584$ million people

To find the population of Italy in 2008 (t = 18 years)

substitute t = 18 in the equation and have:

$p=56.8e ^{0.0015*18}\\$

$p=58.3545$ million people

To predict the population in Italy for 2015 and 2020 with this model, we substitute in the equation t = 25 and t = 30

t = 25

$p=56.8e^{0.0015*25}$

$p=58.9704$ million people

t = 30

$p=56.8e^{0.0015*30}$

$p=59.4144$ million people

Use the change-of-basis identity,

$\log_x(y) = \dfrac{\ln(y)}{\ln(x)}$

to write

$xyz = \log_a(bc) \log_b(ac) \log_c(ab) = \dfrac{\ln(bc) \ln(ac) \ln(ab)}{\ln(a) \ln(b) \ln(c)}$

Use the product-to-sum identity,

$\log_x(yz) = \log_x(y) + \log_x(z)$

to write

$xyz = \dfrac{(\ln(b) + \ln(c)) (\ln(a) + \ln(c)) (\ln(a) + \ln(b))}{\ln(a) \ln(b) \ln(c)}$

Redistribute the factors on the left side as

$xyz = \dfrac{\ln(b) + \ln(c)}{\ln(b)} \times \dfrac{\ln(a) + \ln(c)}{\ln(c)} \times \dfrac{\ln(a) + \ln(b)}{\ln(a)}$

and simplify to

$xyz = \left(1 + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(b)}\right) \left(1 + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(c)}\right) \left(1 + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(a)}\right)$

Now expand the right side:

$xyz = 1 + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(a)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~+ \dfrac{\ln(c)\ln(a)}{\ln(b)\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(c)\ln(b)}{\ln(b)\ln(a)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)\ln(b)}{\ln(c)\ln(a)} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ + \dfrac{\ln(c)\ln(a)\ln(b)}{\ln(b)\ln(c)\ln(a)}$

Simplify and rewrite using the logarithm properties mentioned earlier.

$xyz = 1 + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(a)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(c)}{\ln(a)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)}{\ln(c)} + 1$

$xyz = 2 + \dfrac{\ln(c)+\ln(a)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(a)+\ln(b)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(b)+\ln(c)}{\ln(a)}$

$xyz = 2 + \dfrac{\ln(ac)}{\ln(b)} + \dfrac{\ln(ab)}{\ln(c)} + \dfrac{\ln(bc)}{\ln(a)}$

$xyz = 2 + \log_b(ac) + \log_c(ab) + \log_a(bc)$

$\implies \boxed{xyz = x + y + z + 2}$
