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

given that у=6 cm and θ=15 °, work out x rounded to 1 decimal place.

(the diagram is not drawn to scale.)

Answers

Using a trigonometric realtion, we can see that x = 23.18cm

How to find the value of x?

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.

Reaplacing what we know, we will get:

sin(15°) = 6cm/x

Solving that for x:

x = 6cm/sin(15°9

x = 23.18cm

The height in feet is modelled by the function below, where the t is in
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

Hence, the object reaches the lowest height at 5 seconds

For the cosecant we will get:

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.

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:

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
