Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7*4=28

2*4=8

Answer:

c=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using cross. multiplication

multiply 2 by 28 2x28=56

Multiple c by 7 cx7=7c

divide both sides by 7

c=8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the log82x, log4x and log2x, in that order, form a geometric progression with a positive common ratio.

Let a = log82x, b = log4x and c = log2x

If a = log8 2x; 8^a = 2x... (1)

If b = log4 x; 4^b = x ... (2)

If c = log2 x; 2^c = x...(3)

Since a, b c are in GP, then b/a = c/b

Cross multiplying:

b² = ac ...(4)  

From eqn 1, x = 8^a/2

x = 2^3a/2

x = 2^(3a-1)

From eqn 2; x = 4^b

x = 2^2b

From eqn 3: x = 2^c

Equating all the values of x, we have;

2^(3a-1) = 2^2b = 2^c

3a-1 = 2b = c

3a-1 = c and 2b = c

a = c+1/3 and b = c/2  

Substituting the value of a = c+1/3 and b = c/2 into equation 4 we have;

(c/2)² = c+1/3×c

c²/4 = c(c+1)/3

c/4 = c+1/3

Cross multiplying;

3c = 4(c+1)

3c = 4c+4

3c-4c = 4

-c = 4

c = -4  

Substituting c = -4 into equation 3 to get the value of x we have;

2^c = x

2^-4 = x

x = 1/2^4

x = 1/16    

Since the number x can be written as m/n, then x = 1/16 = m/n

This shows that m = 1, n = 16

m+n = 1+16

m+n = 17  

The required answer is 17.  

The value of m+n in which m and n are relatively prime positive integers is 17.

Geometric sequence is the sequence in which the next term is obtained by multiplying the previous term with the same number for the whole series.

There is a unique positive real number x such that the three numbers log82x, log4x and log2x, in that order, form a geometric progression with a positive common ratio. The progression is,

[tex]\log_82 x,\log_4x, \log_2x[/tex]

The above numbers are in geometric progression. Thus, the ratio of first two terms will be equal to the ratio of next two terms as,

[tex]\dfrac{\log_4x}{\log_82x}=\dfrac{\log_2x}{\log_4x}\\(\log_4x)^2={\log_2x}\times{\log_82x}\\[/tex]

Using the base rule of logarithmic function,

[tex]\left(\dfrac{\log x}{\log 4}\right)^2=\dfrac{\log x}{\log2}\times\dfrac{\log2x}{\log8}\\\left(\dfrac{\log x}{\log 2^2}\right)^2=\dfrac{\log x}{\log2}\times\dfrac{\log2x}{\log2^3}[/tex]

Using the Power rule of logarithmic function,

[tex]\left(\dfrac{\log x}{2\log 2}\right)^2=\dfrac{\log x}{\log2}\times\dfrac{\log2x}{3\log2}\\\dfrac{\log x}{4}=\dfrac{\log 2+\log x}{3}\\3\log x=4(\log2x)\\\log x^3=\log(2x)^4\\x^3=16x^4\\x=\dfrac{1}{16}[/tex]

The number x can be written as

[tex]\dfrac{m}{n}[/tex]

Here, m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Thus, the value of m+n is,

[tex]m+n=1+16=17[/tex]

Hence, the value of m+n in which m and n are relatively prime positive integers is 17.

Answer:

angle of depression = -12 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin = opposite/hypotenuse

sin = -208/1000

inv sin 0.208 = -12

To solve this problem, we just need to use trigonometric ratio and use the ratio that best fits this problem. The angle of depression is equal to 76.23 degrees.

Using SOHCAHTOA, we can easily solve this problem, but we need to first know which ratio to use

Data;

since we have the value of opposite and adjacent, we can solve this using the tangent of the angle

[tex]tan\theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\tan \theta = \frac{1000}{208} \\tan\theta = 4.807\\\theta = sin^-^1 (4.0807)\\\theta = 76.23^0[/tex]

Answer:

Therefore the largest number that these fractions can be divided by to give them a whole number is

a) 8/15 = The largest number is 8/15

b) 18/35 = The largest number is 18/35

Step-by-step explanation:

A quotient is the result obtained by dividing two numbers.

So that the quotient obtained is a whole number we have to find out, what number they can be divided by to give them that.

Let's assume the whole number is 1

a. 8/15

8/15 ÷ x = 1

8/15 × 1/x = 1

8/15x = 1

We would cross multiply

8 = 15x

We would divide both sides by 15

8/ 15 = x

Hence the largest number that would divide 8/15 and give it a whole number = 8/15

b) 18/35

18/35÷ x = 1

18/35 × 1/x = 1

18/35x = 1

We would cross multiply

18 = 35x

We would divide both sides by 35

18/ 315 = x

Hence the largest number that would divide 18/35 and give it a whole number = 18/35

The z score of the 65-mph speed limit is -0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The z score is given by the relation;

[tex]z = \frac{x- \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

Where:

Z = Normal (Standard) or z score

x = Observed speed  score

μ = Mean, expected speed

σ = Standard deviation

Where we plug in the values for x = 65-mph, σ = 8 mph and μ = 71 mph, into the z-score equation, we get;

[tex]z = \frac{65-71}{8}= \frac{-6}{8} = -\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Hence the z score of the 65-mph speed limit =-3/4 or -0.75.

There's some unknown (but derivable) system of equations being modeled by the two lines in the given graph. (But we don't care what equations make up these lines.)

There's no solution to this particular system because the two lines are parallel.

How do we know they're parallel? Parallel lines have the same slope, and we can easily calculate the slope of these lines.

The line on the left passes through the points (-1, 0) and (0, -2), so it has slope

(-2 - 0)/(0 - (-1)) = -2/1 = -2

The line on the right passes through (0, 2) and (1, 0), so its slope is

(0 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -2/1 = -2

The slopes are equal, so the lines are parallel.

Why does this mean there is no solution? Graphically, a solution to the system is represented by an intersection of the lines. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is no solution.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have to find the area of an square adjacent to the third side of the right triangle.

To solve this problem, we need to use Pythagorean's Theorem, beacuse it's about a right triangle. Also, this theorem is about square areas, that's the geomtrical meaning of it.

[tex]h^{2} =32 \ u^{2} + 32 \ u^{2} = 64\ u^{2} \\h=\sqrt{64 \ u^{2} } =8u[/tex]

Therefore, the area of a square adjacent to the third side is 64 square units.

Answer:the answer is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

12.9 [tex]in^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find the area of this triangle, you will need to use the equation

Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]c*b*sin(A) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]a*b*sin(C)

Here, we have ∠A, ∠C, and side c

We can use the fact that [tex]\frac{a}{sin(A)} = \frac{b}{sin(B)} = \frac{c}{sin(C)}[/tex] so solve for the other variables we do not have.

First we can find the other angle B. Since ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°,

∠B = 180° - ∠A - ∠C, which is ∠B = 180° - 115° - 24° = 41°

Now that we have all three angles, we can solve for the sides

Since we only have side c, we will manipulate the equation with c and one of the others to solve for a or b. Let's solve for side b first.

Since [tex]\frac{b}{sin(B)} =\frac{c}{sin(C)}[/tex], solving for b would give us [tex]b=\frac{csin(B)}{sin(C)}[/tex]. Then plugging in our values we get [tex]\frac{4.2sin(41)}{sin(24)}[/tex]= 6.77 = b

Now we can solve for the remaining side, a, using the same method.

Since [tex]\frac{a}{sin(A)} =\frac{b}{sin(B)}[/tex], solving for a would give us [tex]a=\frac{bsin(A)}{sin(B)}[/tex]. Then plugging on our values we get [tex]\frac{6.77sin(115)}{sin(41)}[/tex]= 9.36 = a

Now that we have all our angles and sides, we can plug in our numbers to either of our area equations ⇒

Area =[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]c*b*sin(A)= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](4.2)(6.77)sin(115) = 12.9[tex]in^{2}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]a*b*sin(C) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](9.36)(6.77)sin(24) = 12.9[tex]in^{2}[/tex]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denotes the point (1,7)

Let B denotes the point (5,5)

We are supposed to find The length of the line segment containing the points

Formula : [tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

[tex](x_1,y_1)=(1,7)\\(x_2,y_2)=(5,5)\\ d = \sqrt{(5-1)^2+(5-7)^2}\\ d = \sqrt{4^2+(-2)^2}\\ d = \sqrt{4^2+(-2)^2}\\d=4.47[/tex]

So,The length of the line segment containing the points (1,7) and (5,5)  is 4.47 units is true.

Hence Option A is true
