Mike is 19.

If you turn the question into an equation it turns to:
J x 2 - 3 = M

So since you don’t know Jasmine’s age you would use guess and check. 8,9, and 10 didn’t work but when you put in 11:
11 x 2 - 3 = M
22 - 3 = M
19 = M

And to check your work
J + M has to equal 30 so,
11 + 19 = 30
30 = 30

Ann, Emily, and Bob collect stickers. They have a total of 70 stickers in the ratio 2:3:5, respectively. How many stickers does

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The stickers are divided by groups of

2/10, 3/10 and 5/10

2/10 * 70 = 14

3/10 * 70 = 21

5/10 * 70 = 35

14 + 21 + 35 = 70

So, the stickers are allotted to the 3 children in a group of

14 to one child, 21 to another child, and 35 to the third child.

Pete traveled 1,380 miles in two days.The first day , he traveled 1.5 times as far as he did the second day . How many miles did

ahrayia [7]

Let s be the distance traveled the second day.

1.5s+s=1380

2.5s=1380

s=552

So on the first day he traveled 1380-552=828 miles.

According to the Rational Root Theorem, which function has the same set of potential rational roots as the function g(x) = 3x5 –

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

We have to identify the function which has the same set of potential rational roots as the function $g(x)= 3x^5-2x^4+9x^3-x^2+12$ .

Firstly, we will find the rational roots of the given function.

Let 'p' be the factors of 12

So, p= $\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4, \pm 6$

Let 'q' be the factors of 3

So, q= $\pm 1, \pm 3$

So, the rational roots are given by $\frac{p}{q}$ which are as:

$\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4, \pm 6, \pm \frac{1}{3}, \pm \frac{2}{3}, \pm \frac{4}{3}$ .

Consider the first function given in part A.

f(x) = $3x^5-2x^4-9x^3+x^2-12$

Here also, Let 'p' be the factors of 12

So, p= $\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4, \pm 6$

Let 'q' be the factors of 3

So, q= $\pm 1, \pm 3$

So, the rational roots are given by $\frac{p}{q}$ which are as:

$\pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4, \pm 6, \pm \frac{1}{3}, \pm \frac{2}{3}, \pm \frac{4}{3}$ .

Therefore, this equation has same rational roots of the given function.

Option A is the correct answer.

Which of the following equations is equivalent to log(y)= 3.994 ?

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D: $y = 10^{3.994}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

log(y)= 3.994

Solution:

A logarithm base b of a positive number x satisfies the following definition:

$y =log_b(x) => b^y =x$

For $x > 0, b >0, b \neq 1$

Also if no base b is indicated, the base of the logarithm is assumed to be 10 .

Thus, in log(y)= 3.994 base b is not indicated. so its base is assumed to be 10

now

$log_{10}(y)= 3.994$

Then

$y = 10^{3.994}$
