If a^b= b^a and b = 2a, what is the value of a + b?​

Answers

Answer 1

We are given:

aᵇ = bᵃ

b = 2a

Finding (a+b):

Finding a:

replacing b by 2a in the first equation, we get:

(a²)ᵃ = (2a)ᵃ

(a²)ᵃ = 2ᵃ * aᵃ

a²ᵃ / aᵃ = 2ᵃ                  [dividing both sides by aᵃ]

aᵃ = 2ᵃ                          [because xᵃ / xᵇ = xᵃ⁻ᵇ]

a = 2                             [raising both sides to 1/a]

Finding b:

We are given that b = 2a

now that we know what a equals, we will plug that value here

b = 2(2)

b = 4

Finding a+b:

We found that a = 2, b = 4

a + b = 2 + 4 = 6

A giant pie is created in an attempt to break a world record for baking. The pie is shown below:

What is the area of the slice of pie that was cut, rounded to the nearest hundredth?

Answers

Answer:

Area of the slice of pie = 22.09 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the slice of pie = Area of the sector of the circle with the central angle 45°

Area of the sector = [tex]\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}(\pi r^{2} )[/tex] [Here, r = radius of the circle]

                              = [tex]\frac{45^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}(\pi )(\frac{15}{2})^2[/tex]

                              = 22.09 ft²

Area of the slice of pie = 22.09 ft²

Answer:

22.08ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A = πr^2(x/360) d = 15

Since r is half of diameter this means that r = 15/2 =7.5

so Lets use the Area of Sector formua

A =3.14(7.5)^2 (45/360)

A =3.14(56.25) (45/360)

A = 176.625 (45/360)

A = 176.625 (0.125)

A = 22.078125

rounded to the nearest 10th would make it 22.08

Answer:

Nicole should take 13 1/8 cups of snack mix.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a serving size is 7/8 and Nicole wants to take 15 serving sizes (15 7/8's), then we must multiply 7/8 by 15:

15 × 7/8

Write 15 over 1 (15 = 15/1) to make the calculations easier:

15/1 × 7/8

Multiply the numerators and denominators separately:

15 × 7 / 1 × 8

105 / 8

Instructions don't say you have to do this but I will convert this improper fraction into a mixed number:

Suppose that d varies jointly with r and t, and d = 110 when r = 55 and t = 2. Find r when d = 40 and t = 3.

Answers

Answer:

r = 13.33

Step-by-step explanation:

d = k*r*t

Where,

k = constant of proportionality

d = 110 when r = 55 and t = 2

d = k*r*t

110 = k * 55 * 2

110 = 110k

k = 110/110

k = 1

Find r when d = 40 and t = 3

d = k*r*t

40 = 1 * r * 3

40 = 3r

r = 40/3

= 13.333333333333

Approximately,

r = 13.33

On my hw I have a parabola that opens down with its vertex at (-3,-6)......
For the range would I say that {yER | y > -6} OR {yER | y < -6} ????
I'm just confused from the negative numbers

Answers

Answer: The range is  [tex]\{y \in \mathbb{R}\ | \ y \le -6\}[/tex]

Explanation:

The parabola opens down, forming a "frowny face" in a way (just without the eyes). Or you can think of it as a hill or mountain. This means that the vertex (-3,-6) is at the top of that mountain. It's the highest point of that parabola.

The range is the set of all possible y values. We see that y = -6 is the largest it can get. So y = -6 or y is smaller than this. We would then write [tex]y \le -6[/tex] to describe all the possible y values.

Therefore, the range is [tex]\{y \in \mathbb{R}\ | \ y \le -6\}[/tex]

This translates to "y is a real number such that y is -6 or smaller".

So the second answer you wrote is close, but you forgot the "or equal to" portion of the inequality sign.

Rihanna works in a coffee shop approximately nine miles from her apartment She bikes every day from her apartment to the coffee shop and then back to her apartment in the evening. However, on her way to work, she always stops halfway through to meet her best friend at a park. If the distance from apartment to the park is (5x +2) miles and the trip from the park to the coffee shop is (25x -8) miles long, then what is the value of x?

Answers

Answer:

x = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When we add up the distance between the apartment and park with the distance between the park and the coffee shop, the total will equal nine miles.

Our equation will look like this:

(5x + 2) + (25x - 8) = 9

Add up the like terms

5x + 2 + 25x - 8 = 9

30x - 6 = 9

Add 6 to both sides

30x - 6 = 9

      + 6  + 6

30x = 15

Divide both sides by the coefficient, 30, to isolate the variable, x

30x/30 = 15/30

x = 15/30

Reduce

Grace bought a property valued at $200,00.00 and 20% down and a mortgage amortized over 10 years. She makes equal payments due at the end of every months. Interest on the mortgage is 4% compounded semi-annually and the mortgage is renewable after five years. a) What is the size of each monthly payment? b) What is the outstanding principal at the end of the five-year term? c) What is the cost of the mortgage for the first five years?

Answers

Answer:

Size of each monthly payment = $161.69 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Value of property = $20,000

Downpayment = 20%

Number of payment = 12 x 10 = 120

Interest rate = 4% = 4% / 12 = 0.33 %

Computation:

Loan balance = 20,000 - 20%

Loan balance = $16,000

A] Size of each monthly payment [In Excel]

Size of each monthly payment = PMT(0.33%,120,16000,0)

It took francisco 60 minutes to walk from his house to his grandmother’s house. what is 60 written as a product of factors greater than 1? each factor can have only 1 and itself as factors.

Answers

Answer:

2 × 2 × 3 × 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The number = 60

To find,

Factors of 60 greater than 1 = ?

Procedure:

As we know,

Any of various numbers multiplied together to form a whole.

To find the factors of a number, we will have to do its prime factorization.

So,

The prime factorization of 60:

1 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 60

Since the factors greater than 1 are asked, the factors would be;

2 * 2 * 3 * 5

Thus, 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 is the correct answer.

A garden is rectangular with a width of 8 feet and a length of 10 feet. If it is surrounded by a walkway 2 feet wide, how many square feet of area does the walkway cover?

Answers

Answer:

The rea of walk way is 32 ft^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

width, w = 8 feet

length, L = 10 feet

width of walkway, d = 2 feet

length of outer, L' = 10 + 2 + 2 = 14 feet

Area of outer, A' = L' x w = 14 x 8 = 112 ft^2

Area of inner, A = L x w = 10 x 8 = 80 ft^2

The area of walkway = A' - A = 112 - 80 = 32 ft^2

The rea of walk way is 32 ft^2.

The point B (-2, 1) has been transformed to B' (-5, -3). The transformation is described as
A T (-3,-4)
B R x=2
C T (-3,-2)
D D3

Answers

Answer:

Option A: T(-3, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

For a general point (x, y), if we apply the transformation:

T(a, b)

at that point, the new point that we will get is:

T(a,b)[ (x, y) ] = (x + a, y + b)

Notice that if w take the difference between the new point (x + a, y + b) and the original point (x, y)

we get:

(x + a, y + b) - (x, y) = (x + a - x, y + b  y) = (a, b)

These are x-value and y-value that describe our transformation T(a, b).

Then if we know that the original point is B (-2, 1)

and the transformed point is B'( -5, -3)

We can just take the difference to get:

(-5, -3) - (-2, 1) = (-5 - (-2), -3 - 1) = (-5 + 2, -4) = (-3, -4)

Then the transformation applied is:

T(-3, -4)

The correct option is A.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 18cm . if the length is (x+2), find it's width.​

Answers

Answer:

W = 7 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is P= 2L + 2×W , where L is the length and W is the width.

If L = (x+2) , replacing L with the expression x+2 we have

P= 2×(X+2) + 2W ⇔ 18 = 2x + 4 + 2W ⇔ 2W =18 - 2x - 4 ⇔ 2W = 14 - 2x

⇔ W = 7 - x
