Erika is working on solving the exponential equation 50x = 17; however, she is not quite sure where to start. using complete sentences, describe to erika how to solve this equation.

hint: use the change of base formula: log base b of y equals log y over log b.

Answers

Answer 1

Erika is working on solving the exponential equation 50^x = 17; The solution is x = 0.7242.

What is logarithm?

When you raise a number with an exponent, there comes a result.

Let's say you get

a^b = c

Then, you can write 'b' in terms of 'a' and 'c' using a logarithm as follows

[tex]b = \log_a(c)[/tex]

'a' is called base of this log function. We say that 'b' is the logarithm of 'c' to base 'a'

Erika is working on solving the exponential equation 50^x = 17;

however, she is not quite sure where to start.

The equation is

[tex]50^x = 17\\[/tex]

By taking the log both sides

[tex]log_a b = x\\\\a_x = b[/tex]

By using the base formula

[tex]log_0 y = \dfrac{logy}{log b}[/tex]

So, [tex]log_{50} 17= x\\\\[/tex]

[tex]x = \dfrac{log17}{log 50}[/tex]

x = 0.7242

Which of the following choices is the value of cscθ given that cosθ= √2/2?

Answers

For the cosecant we will get:

   [tex]csc(\pm \frac{pi}{4}) = \frac{1}{sin(\pm \frac{pi}{4})} = \pm \frac{2}{\sqrt{2} } = \pm \sqrt{2}[/tex]

So the correct option is the third one.

Which of the following choices is the value of cscθ given that cosθ= √2/2?

First, we can write:

[tex]csc(x) = \frac{1}{sin(x)}[/tex]

Now, remember that:

[tex]cos(x) = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} \\\\for\ x = \pm \frac{pi}{4}[/tex]

And for the sine we have:

[tex]sin(pi/4) = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} \\\\sin(-pi/4) = -\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} \\[/tex]

Then the cosecant for these possible values of x gives:

[tex]csc(\pm \frac{pi}{4}) = \frac{1}{sin(\pm \frac{pi}{4})} = \pm \frac{2}{\sqrt{2} } = \pm \sqrt{2}[/tex]

So the correct option is the third one.

The weight of vegetables transported by a farmer to a nearby market increases by 15% every month.

The farmer transports 460 pounds of vegetables in April, 529 pounds of vegetables in May, 608.35 pounds of vegetables in June, and 699.60 pounds of vegetables in July.

Approximately how many pounds of vegetables will be transported to the market in August

Answers

Using proportions, it is found that 804.54 pounds of vegetables will be transported to the market in August.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, considering the weight increases by 15% every month, the August amount will be the July's amount multiplied by 1.15, hence:

A = 1.15 x 699.60 pounds = 804.54 pounds.

Here we have a right triangle, we can see that y = 6cm, and the angle theta is 15°.

Notice that y is the opposite cathetus to the known angle, and we want to find the value of x, which is the hypotenuse.

Then we can use the trigonometric relation:

sin(a) = (opposite cathetus)/hypotenuse.

seconds after the object hit into the air. Appromixmately which time does the object reach the lowest height?
f(t) = -21² +22t + 6
A. 7 seconds
B. 5 seconds
C. 8 seconds
D. 11 seconds

Answers

The object reaches the lowest height at 5 seconds

How to determine the time?

The function is given as:

f(t) = -2t² +22t + 6

Differentiate the function

f'(t) = -4t +22

Set to 0

-4t +22 = 0

Subtract 22 from both sides

-4t = -22

Divide both sides by -4

t = 5.5


Remove decimal points

t = 5

of c.

Answers

Answer:

11 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Claire had 11 points  because 18-7=11

C+7 =18 is the equation which can be used to find the Claire score C, the value of C is 11.

What is Equation?

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

Given that Ava scored 18 points in a basketball game.

Let Ave score be represented as A.

Ave scored seven points more than Claire.

Let C be the Claire score.

A=7+C

As given Ava scored 18 points in a basketball

so the value of A is 18

18=7+C

Now let us find the value of C

Subtract 7 from both sides

18-7 =C

11=C

Hence, C+7 =18 is the equation which can be used to find the Claire score C, the value of C is 11.
