Answer:

0.465

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 3x + 2 = 15 for x using the change of base formula log base b of y equals log y over log b. −1.594 0.465 2.406 4.465

rearranging the question

$3^{x+2} =15$ .........1

the change of base in logarithm is given by.

$log_{b} a=\frac{loga}{logb}$

back to equation 1

taking logarithm of the other end

x+2= $log_{3} 15$

x+2=log 15/log 3

also

we could write

x+2(log3)=log15

x+2=2.465

x=2.465-2

x=0.465

<u>Answer:</u>

The value in 3x + 2 = 15 for x using the change of base formula is 0.465 approximately and second option is correct one.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, expression is $3^{(x+2)}=15$

We have to solve the above expression using change of base formula which is given as

$\log _{b} a=\frac{\log a}{\log b}$

Now, let us first apply logarithm for the given expression.

Then given expression turns into as, $x+2=\log _{3} 15$

By using change of base formula,

$x+2=\frac{\log _{10} 15}{\log _{10} 3}$

x + 2 = 2.4649

x = 2.4649 – 2 = 0.4649

Hence, the value of x is 0.465 approximately and second option is correct one.

The sale price for a bicycle is $315 dollars. The original price was first discounted by 50% and then discounted an additional 1

Len [333]

This means that the bicycle was discounted in total by 60%, so $315 is 40% of the original price to get 40% to 100% youd multiply it by 2.5 so so the same to the price 315 x 2.5= 787.5

A piece of rubber tubing maintains a cylindrical shape as it is stretched. At the instant that the inner radius of the tube is 2

professor190 [17]

Answer:

the rate of change in volume is dV/dt = 4π mm³/s = 12.56 mm³/s

Step-by-step explanation:

since the volume V of a cylinder is related with the height H and the radius R through:

V = πR²*H

then the change in time is given by the derivative with respect to time t

dV/dt = (∂V/∂R)*(dR/dt) + (∂V/∂H)*(dH/dt)

the change in volume with radius at constant height is

(∂V/∂R) = 2*πR*H

the change in volume with height at constant radius is

(∂V/∂H) = πR²

then

dV/dt = 2π*R*H *(dR/dt) + πR²*(dH/dt)

replacing values

dV/dt = 2π* 2 mm * 20 mm * (-0.1 mm/s) + π (2 mm) ²* 3 mm/s = 4π mm³/s

dV/dt = 4π mm³/s = 12.56 mm³/s

The Bay Area Online Institute (BAOI) has set a guideline of 60 hours for the time it should take to complete an independent stud

yarga [219]

Answer:

At the 5% level, BAOI can infer that the average time to complete does not exceeds 60 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 60 \ hr$

The sample size is $n = 16$

The sample mean is $\= x = 68 \ hr$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 20 \ hr$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 60$

The alternative $H_a : \mu > 60$

Here we would assume the level of significance of this test to be

$\alpha = 5\% = 0.05$

Next we will obtain the critical value of the level of significance from the normal distribution table, the value is $Z_{0.05} = 1.645$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{ \= x - \mu}{ \frac{ \sigma }{\sqrt{n} } }$

substituting values

$t = \frac{ 68 - 60 }{ \frac{ 20 }{\sqrt{16} } }$

$t = 1.6$

Looking at the value of t and $Z_{\alpha }$ we see that $t< Z_{\alpha }$ hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis

This means that there no sufficient evidence to conclude that it takes more than 60 hours to complete the course

At the 5% level, BAOI can infer that the average time to complete does not exceeds 60 hours.

If f Superscript negative 1 Baseline (x) = negative one-fifth x, what is f Superscript negative 1 Baseline (x) = one-fifth x?

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

a different inverse function

Step-by-step explanation:

If $f^{-1}(x)=-\frac{1}{5}x$ then $f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{5}x$ is a different inverse function.

The second (inverse) function is the first reflected over the y-axis.
