Answer 1

Answer:

[tex] \displaystyle B) {x} = \log_{6} 118[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to solve the following exponential equation:

[tex] \displaystyle 2 \cdot {6}^{x} = 236[/tex]

to do so divide both sides by 2 which yields:

[tex] \displaystyle {6}^{x} = 118[/tex]

take log of base 6 in both sides so that we can solve the equation for x by using [tex]\log_ab^c=c\log_ab[/tex] and that yields:

[tex] \displaystyle \log_{6} {6}^{x} = \log_{6} 118[/tex]

use the formula:

[tex] \displaystyle {x} = \log_{6} 118[/tex]

hence,

our answer is B)

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf Option \ B }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A equation is given to us and we need to find out the value of x . The given equation is ,

[tex]\sf\dashrightarrow 2 \times 6^x = 236 [/tex]

Transpose 2 to RHS , we have ,

[tex]\sf\dashrightarrow 6^x = \dfrac{236}{2} [/tex]

Simplify ,

[tex]\sf\dashrightarrow 6^x =118 [/tex]

Use log both sides with base "6"

[tex]\sf\dashrightarrow log_6 ( 6^x) = log_6 118 [/tex]

Using the property of log ,

[tex]\sf\longmapsto \bigg\lgroup \red{\bf log_p q^r = r log_p q}\bigg\rgroup[/tex]

[tex]\sf\dashrightarrow x \ log_6 6 = log_6 118 [/tex]

Again we know that ,

[tex]\sf\longmapsto \bigg\lgroup \red{\bf log_p p= 1}\bigg\rgroup[/tex]

We have ,

[tex]\sf\dashrightarrow x \times 1 = log_6 118 [/tex]

Therefore ,

[tex]\sf\dashrightarrow\boxed{\blue{\sf x = log_6 118 }} [/tex]

Hence option B is correct .

find the probability of picking a red marble and a green marble when 2 marbles are picked (without replacement)from a bag containing 6 red and 6 green marbles.}

Answers

p = 6/11.

So we have a bag that contains 6 red marbles and 6 green marbles.

Then the total number of marbles that are in that bag is:

6 + 6  = 12

There are 12 marbles in the bag, and we assume that all marbles have the same probability of being randomly drawn.

Now we draw two marbles, we want to find the probability that one is red and the other is green.

The first marble that we draw does not matter, as we just want the second marble to be of the other color.

So, suppose we draw a green one in the first attempt.

Then in the second draw, we need to get a red one.

The probability of drawing a red one will be equal to the quotient between the red marbles in the bag (6) and the total number of marbles in the bag (12 - 1 = 11, because one green marble was drawn already)

Then the probability is:

p = 6/11.

Notice that would be the exact same case if the first marble was red.

Then we can conclude that the probability of getting two marbles of different colors is:

p = 6/11.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (–12, –8) and (–17, –16)?

Answers

Answer:

firstly find the gradient given by the equation

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

in this case x1 is -12,x2 is -17, y1 is -8 and y2 is-16

m=-16+8/-17+12

=-8/-5 or1.6

then use the equation

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y+8=1.6(x+12)

y+8=1.6x+19.2

y=1.6x+11.2

One of the factors of x² + y² + 2xy - z² is ?​

Answers

Answer:

x + y + z.

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + y² + 2xy - z²

= (x + y)^2 - z^2

This is the difference between 2 squares so the factors are:

(x + y + z) and (a + y - z).

Answer: The factors are (x+y+z) and (x+y-z)

In other words, it factors to (x+y+z)*(x+y-z)

=====================================================

Work Shown:

[tex]x^2 + y^2 + 2xy - z^2\\\\(x^2 + 2xy + y^2) - z^2\\\\(x+y)^2 - z^2\\\\(x+y+z)(x+y-z)\\\\[/tex]

Notes:

In the third step, I used the rule (A+B)^2 = A^2+2AB+B^2. For this, A = x and B = y.In the last step, I used the difference of squares factoring rule A^2-B^2 = (A+B)(A-B). In this case, A = x+y and B = z.

Americans eat 7 billion hot dogs between Memorial Day and Labor Day. If all these hot dogs were laid end to end they
would circle the earth 21.5 times. If the circumference of the Earth is approximately 24,860 miles, and one mile is
5,280 feet, find the length (in inches) of each hot dog. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth)

Answers

Answer:

The length of each hot dog is 0.5000 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of hot dogs eaten = 7 000 000 000

Circumference of the earth = 24 860 miles

21.5 times the circumference of the Earth = 21.5 x 24 860 miles

                                                = 534490 miles

But,

1 mile = 5280 feet

So that,

534490 miles = X

X = 5280 x 534490

   = 287707200 feet

Also,

1 feet = 12 inches

Then,

287707200 feet = Y

Y = 12 x 287707200

   = 3452486400 inches

Thus,

the length of each hot dog = [tex]\frac{3452486400}{7000000000}[/tex]

                     = 0.4932

The length of each hot dog is 0.5000 inches.

If all the books on a shelf with fewer than 45 books were put into piles of five books each, no books would remain. If the same book were put into piles of seven books each, two books would remain. What is the greatest number of books that could be on the shelf?

Answers

Answer:

Hence the greatest number of books that could be on the shelf is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:-

Here the given number of books is m,  

m < 45.  

If they are arranged into piles of five books, each no books would remain.  

m is divisible by 5.  

The last digit of m would be 5 or 0.    

The same number of books, when arranged with piles of 7 books each, two books remain.  

m-2 is divisible by 7.  

Step 2:-  

The last digit of m is 5 or 0.  

m-2 will have the last digit 3 or 8.    

Multiples of 7 are 7,14,21,28,35, 42;  

among which only number 28 has the last digit 8 or 3.    

m - 2 = 28  

m = 30  

The greatest number of books that could be on the shelf is 30.

Answers

Answer:

Let m∠BCE = x

Then m∠ACE = x as well since CE is bisecting ∠ACB.

m∠ACD + x + x = 180° ⇒ m∠ACD = 180° - 2x

Consider ΔBEC

Since BE = EC, the opposite angles are congruent:

∠BCE ≅ ∠CBE

Then:

m∠CBE = m∠BCE = x

Find the angle BEC:

m∠BEC = 180° - (x + x) = 180° - 2x

Comparing the above we see that:

m∠BEC = m∠ACDproved

The Master Chief collects spiders and starfish. If his spiders have 8 legs and his starfish have 5 legs, how many starfish must he have, given that his spider/starfish collection totals 19 creatures and 116 legs

Answers

Answer:

12 starfish

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where x is the number of starfish he has and y is the number of spiders he has:

x + y = 19

5x + 8y = 116

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -8:

-8x - 8y = -152

5x + 8y = 116

Add these together and solve for x:

-3x = -36

x = 12

So, he has 12 starfish.

The total number of starfish is 12 starfishes

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the number of starfish be = x

Let the number of spiders be = y

The number of legs for spiders = 8

The number of legs for starfish = 5

So , the equation will be

The total number of legs for x starfish = 5x

The total number of legs for y spiders = 8y

The total number of creatures = 19

So , x + y = 19   be equation (1)

And ,

The total number of legs = 116

So , 5x + 8y = 116   be equation (2)

Now , from equation (1) , x = 19 - y

Substituting the value of equation (1) in equation (2) , we get

5x + 8y = 116

5 ( 19 - y ) + 8y = 116

95 - 5y + 8y = 116

95 + 3y = 116

Subtracting 95 on both sides , we get

3y = 21

Divide by 3 on both sides , we get

y = 7

So , the number of spiders is 7 spiders

Substituting the value of y in equation (1) , we get

x + y = 19

x + 7 = 19

Subtract 7 on both sides , we get

x = 12

Therefore , the value of x is 12

Hence , The total number of starfish is 12 starfishes

Determine whether the following polygons are similar.

Answers

Answer:

They are not similar.

To easily check if they are similar, you only need to look at the degrees angles, since if the angles are the same, the lengths of the sides will always come out to be similar somehow.

Those triangles possess right angles as you can see the little square thingie in the corners.

Those are 90 degrees, and you can add the 30 degrees in the left shape to 90 to get 120.

There are 180 degrees in a triangle, so 180 - 120 = 60.

Therefore, the unknown angle is 60.

A 30 60 90 triangle is called a special right triangle since there are many useful ratios hidden inside.

The other triangle has a 55 degree angle which is not on the first, so they must not be similar.

For the first half of the 20th century, poliomyelitis, also known as infantile paralysis, was one of the most dreaded diseases to attack young people. By 1955 American physician and researcher Jonas Salk had developed a vaccine that almost eradicated the disease in the United States and other developed countries.Jonas Edward Salk was born in New York City on October 28, 1914. He graduated from the City College of New York in 1934 and earned his doctorate in medicine from New York University's College of Medicine in 1939. While in medical school he had worked with Thomas Francis Jr. on killed-virus immunology studies. In 1942 he joined a group at the University of Michigan working on a vaccine against influenza. The vaccine was perfected in 1953.In 1947 Salk became associate professor of bacteriology and head of the Virus Research Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. There he began working on the polio vaccine. Three viruses caused polio, and a vaccine had to be effective against all of them. By 1952 Salk had developed such a vaccine and conducted field tests on children. His findings were published in 1953, and a mass field test was done the next year.On April 12, 1955, the vaccine was released for use in the United States. In 1957 Salk was named professor of experimental medicine at Pittsburgh, and in 1963 he went to San Diego as head of the Institute (later named the Salk Institute) for Biological Studies. In 1977 Salk was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He died on June 23, 1995, in La Jolla, California.Answer the following question based on the Compton's Encyclopedia reading:Which choice best describes the reasons behind Jonas Salk's decision to search for a cure for poliomyelitis?
