Find a logarithmic equation that relates y and x

1 answer:

4 0

Logarithms are only able to make an equation linear if it is an exponential function. For example, $y= e^{x}$ can be made linear by taking the natural logarithm of each side, causing it to become $ln(y)=ln( e^{x})$ . After some simplifying, you are left with $ln(y)=x$ . You are then able to plot ln(y) vs. x to get a linear fit.

If the inflation rate doubles, does the percentage decrease in buying power also double? If not, is the new percentage decrease

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: It doubles

Step-by-step explanation:

Inflation erodes the value of a currency thereby reducing the purchasing power that customers have as they will only be able to buy less gods and services for the same amount as before.

An increase in inflation is directly proportional to a decrease in purchasing power which means that if the inflation rate doubles, the decrease in purchasing power doubles as well.

For instance, if inflation is 10%, the value of a dollar becomes 0.9c. If Inflation doubles to 20%, the dollar goes to 0.8c. Meanwhile the purchasing power would have gone from $1 to 0.8c which would translate to a 20% decrease.

John's commute to work is 20kmhr while Sheri's commute is 500mmin. Who has the fastest commute to work in mihrif 1.61km=1mi? A S

Andreyy89

Answer:

A) Sheri has the faster commute by 6.2 miles/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

John's commute to work $=20\ km/hr$

Sheri's commute to work $=500\ m/min$

$1.61\ km = 1\ mile$

John's commute to work in miles per hour = $\frac{20\ km}{1 hr}\times \frac{1\ mile}{1.61\ km}= 12.42\ miles/hr$

Sheri's commute to work in miles per hour = $\frac{500\ m}{1\ min}\times \frac{1\ km}{1000\ m}\times \frac{1\ mile}{1.61\ km}\times \frac{60\ min}{1\ hr}= 18.63\ miles/ hr$

We can see that Sheri has a faster commute.

Difference between the rates = $18.63\ miles/ hr-12.42\ miles/hr=6.21\ miles/hr\approx 6.2\ miles/hr$

∴ Sheri has the faster commute by 6.2 miles/hr.

A product is composed of four parts. In order for the product to function properly in a given situation, each of the parts must

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

P(working product) = .99*.99*.96*.96 = .0.903

Step-by-step explanation:

For the product to work, all four probabilities must come to pass, so that

P(Part-1)*P(Part-2)*P(Part-3)*P(Part-4)

where

P(Part-1) = 0.96

P(Part-2) = 0.96

P(Part-3) = 0.99

P(Part-4) = 0.99

As all parts are independent, so the formula is P(A∩B) = P(A)*P(B)

P (Working Product) = P(Part-1)*P(Part-2)*P(Part-3)*P(Part-4)

P (Working Product) = 0.96*0.96*0.96*0.99*0.99

P(Working Product) = 0.903

A publishing company prints newspapers and magazines. Let NNN represent the number of newspapers and MMM represent the number of

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

At most 800 magazines the company can print daily with the remaining number of ink cartridges.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

$0.5N+2.5M \leq 6000$

The above inequality gives the relation for daily supply of ink cartridges where N is the number of newspaper and M is the number of magazines.

Number of newspaper to be printed daily,N = 8000

We have to find the number of magazines at most can the company print daily with the remaining number of ink cartridges.

Puting the value in the given inequality,

$0.5(8000)+2.5M \leq 6000\\\Rightarrow 4000+2.5M \leq 6000\\\Rightarrow 2.5M \leq 2000\\\\\Rightarrow M \leq \dfrac{2000}{2.5}\\\\\Rightarrow M \leq 800$

Thus, at most 800 magazines the company can print daily with the remaining number of ink cartridges.

In a certain community, eight percent of all adults over age 50 have diabetes. If a health service in this community correctly d

____ [38]

Complete question is;

In a certain community, 8% of all people above 50 years of age have diabetes. A health service in this community correctly diagnoses 95% of all person with diabetes as having the disease, and incorrectly diagnoses 10% of all person without diabetes as having the disease. Find the probability that a person randomly selected from among all people of age above 50 and diagnosed by the health service as having diabetes actually has the disease.

Answer:

P(has diabetes | positive) = 0.442

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of having diabetes and being positive is;

P(positive & has diabetes) = P(has diabetes) × P(positive | has diabetes)

We are told 8% or 0.08 have diabetes and there's a correct diagnosis of 95% of all the persons with diabetes having the disease.

Thus;

P(positive & has diabetes) = 0.08 × 0.95 = 0.076

P(negative & has diabetes) = P(has diabetes) × (1 –P(positive | has diabetes)) = 0.08 × (1 - 0.95)

P(negative & has diabetes) = 0.004

P(positive & no diabetes) = P(no diabetes) × P(positive | no diabetes)

We are told that there is an incorrect diagnoses of 10% of all persons without diabetes as having the disease

Thus;

P(positive & no diabetes) = 0.92 × 0.1 = 0.092

P(negative &no diabetes) =P(no diabetes) × (1 –P(positive | no diabetes)) = 0.92 × (1 - 0.1)

P(negative &no diabetes) = 0.828

Probability that a person selected having diabetes actually has the disease is;

P(has diabetes | positive) =P(positive & has diabetes) / P(positive)

P(positive) = 0.08 + P(positive & no diabetes)

P(positive) = 0.08 + 0.092 = 0.172

P(has diabetes | positive) = 0.076/0.172 = 0.442
