Solve the equations
2^x – 5^y = 3 and 2^x-3 + 5 ^y-2 =21​

Answers

Answer 1

You can substitute a = 2ˣ and b = 5ʸ to make both equations linear.

The first equation becomes

a - b = 3

In the second equation, first simplify the exponents:

2ˣ ⁻³ = 2ˣ × 2⁻³ = 1/8 × 2ˣ

5ʸ ⁻² = 5ʸ × 5⁻² = 1/25 × 5ʸ

so the second equation changes to

a/8 + b/25 = 21

Multiply both sides of this by 200 (the LCM of 8 and 25) to eliminate the fractions:

25a + 8b = 4200

Multiply both sides of the first equation by 8, then add the corresponding sides of both equations. This eliminates b and you can solve for a :

8 (a - b) + (25a + 8b) = 8 (3) + 4200

(8a - 8b) + (25a + 8b) = 24 + 4200

33a = 4224

a = 128

Plug this into the first equation to solve for b :

128 - b = 3

b = 125

Now solve for x and y. Notice that

128 = 2⁷

and

125 = 5³

so it follows that x = 7 and y = 3.

Alternatively, you can use logarithms. For example,

a = 2ˣ   →   log₂(a) = log₂(2ˣ )   →   x = log₂(128) = 7

A grocery store counts the number of customers who arrive during an hour. The average over a year is 10 customers per hour. Assume the arrival of customers follows a Poisson distribution. (It usually does.) Find the probability that at least one customer arrives in a particular one minute period. Round your answer to 3 decimals. Find the probability that at least two customers arrive in a particular 4 minute period. Round your answer to four decimals.

Answers

Answer:

0.1535 = 15.35% probability that at least one customer arrives in a particular one minute period.

0.1443 = 14.43% probability that at least two customers arrive in a particular 4 minute period.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

Find the probability that at least one customer arrives in a particular one minute period.

The average is of 10 customers per hour(60 minutes), so for this case, [tex]\mu = \frac{10}{60} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-\frac{1}{6}}*(\frac{1}{6})^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.8465[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.8465 = 0.1535[/tex]

0.1535 = 15.35% probability that at least one customer arrives in a particular one minute period.

Probability that at least two customers arrive in a particular 4 minute period.

The average is of 10 customers per hour(60 minutes), so for this case, [tex]\mu = \frac{10*4}{60} = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

This probability is:

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-\frac{2}{3}}*(\frac{2}{3})^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.5134[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-\frac{2}{3}}*(\frac{2}{3})^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3423[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.5134 + 0.3423 = 0.8557[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.8557 = 0.1443[/tex]

0.1443 = 14.43% probability that at least two customers arrive in a particular 4 minute period.

Please help me I don’t get it

Answers

Answer:

The number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We set up the equation given the conditions listed. Since it says 5 times the difference between a number and 7, we can use x as a placeholder for the number.

(x-7) is the difference between the number and 7. The question asks for 5 times that difference thus we multiply the entire thing by 5 giving us 5(x-7. The question says that it all equals -15 so we set that expression equal to -15.

Thus we get the equation and solve:

5(x-7)= -15 (distributive property)

5x-35= -15 (add 35 to both sides)

5x=20 (divide by 5)

x=4; so the number is 4

Answers

Answer:

1/cos^2(180-theta) - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

According to trigonometry identity

tan^2 theta + 1 = sec^2 theta

tan^2 theta = sec^2 theta - 1

hence tan^2(180-tetha)​ = sec^2 (180 -theta) - 1

tan^2(180-tetha)​ = 1/cos^2(180-theta) - 1

Hence the value of tan^2(180-tetha)​ is 1/cos^2(180-theta) - 1

Justin has $7.50 more than Eva, and Emma has $12 less than Justin. Together, they have a total of $63.00. How much money does each person have?

i only have 5 min help fast

Answers

Answer:

To make it easier, lets say Justin = J, Eva = E, and Emma = M. Then, J = E + 7.50 M = J -12 J + E + M = 63 You can substitute for M in the third equation using the second equation, and you get: J + E + J - 12 = 63 Clean it up a little bit and you get: 2J + E = 75 You know J = E + 7.50, so substitute that for J and you get: 2(E + 7.50) + E = 75 2E + 15 + E = 75 3E + 15 = 75 3E = 60 E = 20 ; meaning that Eva has $20. Justin has $7.50 more than Eva, so he has $27.50. Emma has $12 less than Justin, so Emma has $15.50. Double check your answer by making sure they all add up to 63, which they do.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:  Graph C passes the horizontal line test and becomes a function as the horizontal line does not cut the curve more than once along any line drawn.

Also, the curve passes the vertical line test as well, if a vertical is drawn, it does not cut the curve more than once if drawn any where vertically.

Thus, graph C passes both the horizontal and vertical line test. So the curve has both function and inverse function.

The physical plant at the main campus of a large state university receives daily requests to replace fluorescent light bulbs. The distribution of the number of daily requests is bell-shaped and has a mean of 47 and a standard deviation of 7. Using the empirical rule (as presented in the book), what is the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 47 and 68

Answers

Answer:

The approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 47 and 68 is 49.85%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 47

Standard deviation of 7

What is the approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 47 and 68?

The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 50% of the measures are below the mean and 50% of the above.

Between 47 and 68:

68 = 47 + 7*3

So 68 is three standard deviations of the mean.

Of the 50% above the mean, approximately 99.7% are between the mean of 47 and 3 standard deviations above the mean, which is 68. So

0.5*0.997 = 0.4985

0.4985*100 = 49.85%

The approximate percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 47 and 68 is 49.85%.
