Answer:

5 1/4 or 5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying fractions means that we can multiply the numerator by the numerator and the denominator by the denominator straight across without needing a common denominator.

3*7 = 21

4*1 = 4

We end up with the improper fraction 21/4. We can convert this into a mixed number.

Because 4 goes into 21 a total of 5 times with 1 left over, we end up with the mixed number of 5 1/4, or as a decimal, 5.25

If logb2=x and logb3=y, evaluate the following in terms of x and y:

Alja [10]

$log_b{162} = x + 4y\\\\log_b324 = 2x+4y\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} = 3x-2y\\\\\frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = 3y-4x$

Solution:

Given that,

$log_b2 = x\\\\log_b3 = y --------(i)$

Use the following log rules

Rule 1: $log_b(ac) = log_ba + log_bc$

Rule 2: $log_b\frac{a}{c} = log_ba - log_bc$

Rule 3: $log_ba^c = clog_ba$

$a) log_b{162}$

Break 162 down to primes:

$162 = 2^1 \times 3^4$

$log_b{162} =log_b 2^1. 3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 1\\\\ log_b{162} = log_b 2^1 +log_b 3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 3\\\\1log_b2 + 4log_b3\\\\1x+4y\\\\x+4y$

Thus we get,

$log_b162 = x + 4y$

$b) log_b 324$

Break 324 down to primes:

$324 = 2^2 \times 3^4$

$log_b324 = log_b 2^2.3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 1\\\\log_b324 = log_b2^2 + log_b3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 3\\\\log_b324 = 2log_b2 + 4log_b3\\\\From\ (i)\\\\log_b324 = 2x + 4y$

$c) log_b\frac{8}{9}$

By rule 2

$log_b\frac{8}{9} = log_b8 - log_b9\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} = log_b 2^3 - log_b3^2\\\\By\ rule\ 3\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} = 3 log_b2 - 2log_b3\\\\From\ (i)\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} = 3x - 2y$

$d) \frac{log_b27}{log_b16}$

By rule 2

$\frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = log_b27 - log_b16\\\\ \frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = log_b3^3 - log_b2^4\\\\By\ rule\ 2\\\\ \frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = 3log_b3 - 4log_b2 \\\\From\ (i)\\\\\frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = 3y - 4x$

Thus the given are evaluated in terms of x and y

Best estimate for 61/7

Ne4ueva [31]

I would say the best estimate would be 9 because the real answer is 8.71 and if you round that to the 1 place the answer would be 9.

A water taxi travels around an island in a path that can be modeled by the equation y =0.5(x - 16). A water skier is skiing alon

Eddi Din [679]

I realize that the equation is different, but do it in the same way, it'll help! It is given that the water taxi's path can be modeled by the equation y =0.5(x - 14)^2. Therefore, this is one of the equations in this system. Find a linear equation that will model the path of the water skier, which begins at the point (6,6) and ends at the point (8,-4). The slope is (-5). Use the slope and one point on the line to find the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept of the line that passes through the points (6,6) and (8,-4) is (0,36). Thus, the equation is y=-5x+36. Now, to determine if it is possible for the water skier to collide with the taxi, we have to determine if there is a solution to the system of equations. To determine if there is a solution to the system of equations, solve the system using substitution. First, write the equation that models the water taxi's path in standard form. y=0.5(x - 14)^2-->0.5x^2-14x+98. Use substitution. Substitute for y in the equation and then solve for x. As the expression on the left side of the equation cannot easily be factored, use the Quadratic Formula to solve for x. Do x=-b(plusorminus)sqrrtb^2-4ac/2a. Identify a, b, and c. a=0.5, b=-9, and c=62. Substitute into the Quadratic Formula. If there is a negative number under the radical, there are NO solutions. Thus, the path of the water skier will never cross the path of the taxi.

In conclusion: It is not possible that the water skier could collide with the taxi as the two paths never cross.

Ruben bought a DVD recorder for 240 $. Now, it is on sale for 180 $. Find the percentage of change in the price

xenn [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

orginal :$240

new/sale: $180

Percentage of Change:

(V2−V1)|V1|×100

=(180−240)|240|×100

=−60240×100

=−0.25×100

=−25%change

=25%decrease
