Explanation:
Recall that quadratic form is ax^2+bx+c.
So we need an x^2 term followed by an x term, then a constant at the end.
It may not look it, but the given equation is nearly in quadratic form.
Rewrite 9^(2x) as (9^x)^2
We get this equivalent equation (9^x)^2 - 2*(9^x) - 3 = 0
From here, let's make w = 9^x. Replace every copy of '9^x' with 'w' and we end up with this new simpler equation: w^2 - 2w - 3 = 0
From here we can use the quadratic formula or factor. I'll factor.
w^2 - 2w - 3 = 0
(w - 3)(w + 1) = 0
w-3 = 0 or w+1 = 0
w = 3 or w = -1
---------------------
Now we use these values of w to find x
If w = 3, then,
w = 9^x
3 = 9^x
log(3) = log(9^x)
log(3) = x*log(9)
x = log(3)/log(9)
x = log(3)/log(3^2)
x = log(3)/(2*log(3))
x = 1/2
At the last step, we have the log(3) terms cancel.
Repeat for w = -1
w = 9^x
-1 = 9^x
log(-1) = log(9^x)
We run into a problem. The log of any negative number is not a real number output. In other words, 9^x is never negative. Raising any positive number to a real number output leads the result to be positive. Take a look at the graph of y = 9^x to confirm this.
In short, w = -1 is extraneous so it doesn't lead to any x value solution.
So only w = 3 is useful.
Ultimately, the only solution is x = 1/2.

A 12 cm by 20 cm painting hangs in a museum. The museum curator wants to hang other paintings in the gallery that are proportional in size. The dimensions of several paintings are shown. Which paintings' dimensions are proportional to the original painting? Select all that apply. A. 1.5 cm by 2.5 cm B. 27 cm by 45 cm C. 9 cm by 15 cm D. 30 cm by 50 cm E. 6 cm by 14 cm
Answers
Answer:
A. 1.5 cm by 2.5 cm
B. 27 cm by 45 cm
C. 9 cm by 15 cm
D. 30 cm by 50 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the original painting = 12 cm by 20 cm painting
Hence, the proportion is:
12/20 = 0.6
Hence, we compare the options given in the question.
A. 1.5 cm by 2.5 cm
= 1.5/2.5 = 0.6 , option A is correct
B. 27 cm by 45 cm
27cm/45 cm = 0.6 Option B is correct
C. 9 cm by 15 cm
9cm/15cm = 0.6 , Option C is correct
D. 30 cm by 50 cm
30 cm /50 cm = 0.6 Option D is correct
E. 6 cm by 14 cm
6cm/14 cm = 0.4285714286
Option E is not correct
Therefore, Options A to D are the correct options

Brandie lives on the twelfth floor of her apartment building. She walks down 2 flights to visit a friend, then up 3 flights to deliver a message to a neighbor. Which integer best represents the number of flights Brandie must walk to get back to her starting point?
A). -12
B). -1
C). 5
D). 7
Answers
Answer:
Option (B) is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' the starting point be
She walks down 2 flights to visit a friend.
so walking down means we need to add 2 units to the starting point x
[tex]x+2[/tex]
Then he walks up 3 flights to deliver a message to a neighbor.
now subtracting 3 units from (x+2)
[tex]x + 2 - 3 = -1[/tex]
x = -1 means now he is UP to 1 point where he started his flight.
Thus, he needs to walk down 1 more flight to reach her starting point
Thus, -1 is the number of flights Brandie must walk to get back to her starting point.
Therefore, option (B) is the correct answer.
Karen says the functions f(×)=×+3 and g(×)= -×+7 intersect at x=2 is she correct
Answers
Answer:
Yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the point of intersection we solve the system:
y = x + 3
y = -x + 7 Subtract:
0 = 2x - 4
2x = 4
x = 2.
She is correct.
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = x + 3 → (1)
y = - x + 7 → (2)
Substitute y = x + 3 into (2)
x + 3 = - x + 7 ( add x to both sides )
2x + 3 = 7 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 2
Thus the functions intersect at x = 2

perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( length + width)
[tex]32cm = 2( (y +2) +y )cm \\ \frac{32}{2} cm = 2y + 2cm \\ 16cm = 2y - 2cm \\ 16 cm- 2 cm=2y\\ 14cm = 2y \\ y = \frac{14cm}{2} \\ y = 7cm

what is x?
Answers
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + 2(2x − 1)= 33
simplify
3x + 4x - 2 = 33
7x - 2 = 33
add 2 to both sides
7x - 2 + 2 = 33 + 2
7x = 35
divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 35/7
x = 5

The ratio of buckets of yellow paint to buckets of red paint in the store is 3 to 4. There are 60 buckets of yellow paint. How many buckets of red paint are in the store?
Answers
Answer:
80 buckets of red paint
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The ratio of buckets of yellow paint to buckets of red paint in the store to be 3:4
Total ratio = 3 + 4 = 7
Amount of yellow paint = 60
Required
Amount of red paint.
First get the total amount of paint used.
3/7 * x = 60
x is the total paint used
3x/7 = 60
3x = 7*60
x = 420/3
x = 140 buckets of paint
Amount of red paint = Total - Amount of yellow paint
Amount of red paint = 140 - 60
Amount of red paint = 80
Hence there are 80 buckets of red paint in the store

A principal of $6000 is invested in an account paying an annual rate of 5%. Find the amount in the account after 4 years if the account is compounded semiannually, quarterly, and monthly. (a) The amount in the account after 4 years if the account is compounded semiannually is $ nothing. (Round to the nearest cent.)
Answers
Solution :
Given :
Principal amount deposited, P = $ 6000
Rate of interest, r = 5%
Number of years, t = 4 years
When the deposited amount is compounded semiannually, i.e. n = 2
Therefore,
Future value,
[tex]$FV = P\left( 1 +\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$[/tex]
[tex]$FV = 6000\left( 1 +\frac{0.05}{2}\right)^{2 \times 4}$[/tex]
[tex]$FV = 6000 \times (1.025)^8$[/tex]
= 6000 x 1.2184
= 7310.4
Therefore, after 4 years there will be $ 7310.4 in the amount when compounded semi annually.
When the deposited amount is compounded quarterly, i.e. n = 4
Therefore,
Future value,
[tex]$FV = P\left( 1 +\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$[/tex]
[tex]$FV = 6000\left( 1 +\frac{0.05}{4}\right)^{4 \times 4}$[/tex]
[tex]$FV = 6000 \times (1.0125)^{16}$[/tex]
= 6000 x 1.219889
= 7319.334
Therefore, after 4 years there will be $ 7319.334 in the amount when compounded quarterly.
When the deposited amount is compounded monthly, i.e. n = 12
Therefore,
Future value,
[tex]$FV = P\left( 1 +\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$[/tex]
[tex]$FV = 6000\left( 1 +\frac{0.05}{12}\right)^{12 \times 4}$[/tex]
[tex]$FV = 6000 \times (1.0041667)^{48}$[/tex]
= 6000 x 1.22089
= 7325.34
Therefore, after 4 years there will be $ 7325.34 in the amount when compounded monthly.
