log 3x=9 log 3x=9

x=2

Answers

Answer 1
The answer is: log3(x)=9
x=3⁹
x=19 683


3 ^x = 9. 3^x = 3^2, x = 2 . If we have log˙(x) a = b then: a = x^b, Paul wrote it in a form: b = x^a. Scott was right. He wrote: 3^9 = x and as a result he had: x = 19,683.

if H(x)=4x-8 and j(x) = -x solve h{j(3)}

Answers

Answer: -20

-------------------------------------

j(x) = -x
j(3) = -3 ... replace every x with 3

h(x) = 4x - 8
h(j(3)) = 4*( j(3) ) - 8 ... replace every x with j(3)
h(j(3)) = 4*(-3) - 8 ... replace the j(3) on the right side with -3 
h(j(3)) = -12 - 8
h(j(3)) = -20

Find the zeros of the function. F(x)= cube root of x

The only zero of this function is (0, 0). this is where the graph goes through the x-axis.  It's the only place, actually. So the zero is z = 0, and when x = 0, y also happens to equal 0

On an up hill hike Ted climbs at 3 mph. Going back down, he runs at 5 mph. If it takes him forty minutes longer to climb up than run down, then what is the length of the hike?

Answers

The main formula is:

Distance traveled = (average)Speed*Time.

i) when Ted Climbs up:

let D be the distance, T the time it takes Ted to climb, S_u=3mph is the speed as Ted climbs up.

then:   D=3T


ii) when Ted goes down:

D is the distance, T-40 the time it takes Ted go down, S_d=5mph is the speed as Ted climbs up.

then:   D=5(T-40)

equalizing the equations in i and ii:

(D=)       3T=5(T-40)
              3T=5T-200
              200=2T
              T=100     (minutes)

the total length of the hike is T+T-40=100+100-40=160 (minutes)



Answer: 160 minutes

Answer: He hiked 10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

3mi/hr x 1 2/3 hr = 5 miles. 5 mi/hr x 1 hr = 5 miles.

Assume that y varies inversely with x. If y=12 when x=5, find y when x=3

Answers

Inversely variation means xy = c, where c is a constant

Since when y = 12 x = 5, then c = 12*5 = 60

So xy = 60

Now when x = 3, y = 60/3 = 20
Final answer:

When y varies inversely with x, they follow the rule y = k/x. If y=12 when x=5, the constant 'k' is found to be 60. Using this constant, when x=3, y is found to be 20.

Explanation:

In mathematics, when we say that y varies inversely with x, it means that as x increases, y decreases proportionally, and vice-versa. Y and x follow the rule y = k/x, where k is a constant number.

Given that y = 12 when x = 5, we can find the constant by multiplying x and y together, so: k = x * y = 12 * 5 = 60.

Now that we have our constant, we can find y when x = 3 by rearranging the formula to y = k / x which gives us: y = 60 / 3 = 20. So, when x is 3, y is 20.

Noa drove from the Dead Sea up to Jerusalem, and her altitude increased at a constant rate of 740 meters per hour. When she arrived in Jerusalem after 1.5 hours of driving, her altitude was 710 meters above sea level.

Let A(t) denote Noa's altitude relative to sea level A (measured in meters) as a function of time t (measured in hours).

hmm, so

A(t)=740t+a₀
where a₀ is initial height or the height she started at

we want to find her initial height

after 1.5 hours, she was 710 meters above sea levl
alright
A(1.5)=740(1.5)+a₀=710
740(1.5)+a₀=710
1110+a₀=710
minus 1110 both sides
a₀=-400


so she stared at -400 meters below sea level

In a programming team of 20 persons, 1/4 are women and 3/4 are men. to obtain a team with 40% women, how many women should be hired?

Answers

Final answer:

To obtain a team with 40% women in a programming team of 20 people, we need to find out how many women should be hired. Currently, there are 5 women in the team (1/4 of 20). By setting up an equation and solving for x, we find that 5 women should be hired.

Explanation:

To obtain a team with 40% women in a programming team of 20 people, we need to find out how many women should be hired. We know that currently 1/4 of the team are women, which means there are 5 women in the team (20 * 1/4 = 5). To find out how many women should be hired, we subtract the number of women in the team from the target number of women in the team:



Number of women to be hired = Target number of women - Current number of women



Number of women to be hired = 0.4 * (20 + x) - 5



Where x is the number of women to be hired. Now we can solve for x:



0.4 * (20 + x) - 5 = x



Distribute and simplify:



8 + 0.4x - 5 = x



Combine like terms:



0.4x - x = 5 - 8



0.6x = 3



Divide both sides by 0.6:



x = 3 / 0.6



x = 5



So, 5 women should be hired to obtain a team with 40% women.
