On Friday there were 8 snowboarders for every 3 skiers at Slovak ski resort. On Saturday the ratio of the number of snowboarders

to the number of skiers was 4:7 there were 168 snowboarders at the ski resort on Friday there were the same number of people at the ski resort on Saturday as there were on Friday how many more skiers were there than snowboarders at the ski resort on Saturday

Answer:

There are 46 more skiers than snowboarder

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ratio of Snowboarders to Skiers

On Friday:

$Ratio = 8 : 3$

On Saturday:

$Ratio = 4 : 7$

Population = 168

Required

Determine the difference in the number of skiers and snowboarders on Saturday

On Saturday, we have

$Ratio = 4 : 7$

Calculate Total

$Total = 4 + 7$

$Total = 11$

Calculate the number of skiers

$Skiers = \frac{7}{11} * 168$

$Skiers = \frac{1176}{11}$

$Skiers = 107$ (Approximated)

Calculate the number of snowboarders

$Snowboarders = \frac{4}{11} * 168$

$Snowboarders = \frac{672}{11}$

$Snowboarders = 61$ (Approximated)

Calculate the difference

$Difference = 107 - 61$

$Difference = 46$

<em>Hence, there are 46 more skiers than snowboarder</em>

olga_2 [115]

So the probability of rolling a number greater than 2 is 4/6. So 4/6 times 150 should give you the answer 100.

Which of the following shows the extraneous solution to the logarithmic equation? log Subscript 4 Baseline (x) + log Subscript 4

vekshin1

<u>Given:</u>

The given equation is $\log _{4}(x)+\log _{4}(x-3)=\log _{4}(-7 x+21)$

We need to determine the extraneous solution of the equation.

<u>Solving the equation:</u>

To determine the extraneous solution, we shall first solve the given equation.

Applying the log rule $\log _{c}(a)+\log _{c}(b)=\log _{c}(a b)$ , we get;

$\log _{4}(x(x-3))=\log _{4}(-7 x+21)$

Again applying the log rule, if $\log _{b}(f(x))=\log _{b}(g(x))$ then $f(x)=g(x)$

Thus, we have;

$x(x-3)=-7 x+21$

Simplifying the equation, we get;

$x^2-3x=-7 x+21$

$x^2+4x=21$

$x^2+4x-21=0$

Factoring the equation, we get;

$(x-3)(x+7)=0$

Thus, the solutions are $x=3, x=-7$

<u>Extraneous solutions:</u>

The extraneous solutions are the solutions that does not work in the original equation.

Now, to determine the extraneous solution, let us substitute x = 3 and x = -7 in the original equation.

Thus, we get;

$\log _{4}(3)+\log _{4}(3-3)=\log _{4}(-7 \cdot 3+21)$

$\log _{4}(3)+\log _{4}(0)=\log _{4}(0)$

Since, we know that $\log _{a}(0)$ is undefined.

Thus, we get;

Undefined = Undefined

This is false.

Thus, the solution x = 3 does not work in the original equation.

Hence, x = 3 is an extraneous solution.

Similarly, substituting x = -7, in the original equation. Thus, we get;

$\log _{4}(-7)+\log _{4}(-7-3)=\log _{4}(-7(-7)+21)$

$\log _{4}(-7)+\log _{4}(-10)=\log _{4}(49+21)$

$\log _{4}(-7)+\log _{4}(-10)=\log _{4}(70)$

Simplifying, we get;

Undefined = $\log _{4}(70)$

Undefined = 3.06

This is false.

Thus, the solution x = -7 does not work in the original solution.

Hence, x = -7 is an extraneous solution.

Therefore, the extraneous solutions are x = 3 and x = -7

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 5 y=5y, equals, 5 and that passes through the point ( − 7 , − 5 ) (−7,

Jlenok [28]

The line of the equation perpendicular to y=5 and cuts through (-5,-7) will be given by
m(x-x1)=y-y1
where m=slope.
from y=0x+5, the slope of the perpendicular line m=0,
thus the equation will be:
0(x--5)=y--7
0=y+7
y=-7
The equation is y=-7
