If a^b= b^a and b = 2a, what is the value of a + b?​

Answers

Answer 1

We are given:

aᵇ = bᵃ

b = 2a

Finding (a+b):

Finding a:

replacing b by 2a in the first equation, we get:

(a²)ᵃ = (2a)ᵃ

(a²)ᵃ = 2ᵃ * aᵃ

a²ᵃ / aᵃ = 2ᵃ                  [dividing both sides by aᵃ]

aᵃ = 2ᵃ                          [because xᵃ / xᵇ = xᵃ⁻ᵇ]

a = 2                             [raising both sides to 1/a]

Finding b:

We are given that b = 2a

now that we know what a equals, we will plug that value here

b = 2(2)

b = 4

Finding a+b:

We found that a = 2, b = 4

a + b = 2 + 4 = 6

Answers

Answer:

2c+b-w   It is a trinomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Making the equation is pretty easy. Since you get 2 points for corrent answers, we can write down 2c. You get one point for blank, so you can write down 1b, or just b. And, since you get -1 point for each incorrect answer, you can write down -1w, or just -w.

So, if you put the equation together, you will get 2c+b-w for the equation.

Since this equation have 3 terms (2c, b, and w) seperated by the + and -, we know that it is a trinomial.

A committee that consists of five members are to be chosen from 6 boys and 5 girls. Find the number of different committees that can be formed if the number of boys is more than the number of girls​

Answers

Answer:

281 different committees can be formed if the number of boys is more than the number of girls​.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the people are chosen to the committee is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

Number of boys more than the number of girls:

3, 4 or 5 boys.

3 boys:

3 boys from a set of 6.

2 girls from a set of 5. So

[tex]C_{6,3}C_{5,2} = \frac{6!}{3!3!} \times \frac{5!}{2!3!} = 200[/tex]

4 boys:

4 boys from a set of 6.

1 girl from a set of 5. So

[tex]C_{6,4}C_{5,1} = \frac{6!}{4!2!} \times \frac{5!}{1!4!} = 75[/tex]

5 boys:

5 boys from a set of 6. So

[tex]C_{6,5} = \frac{6!}{5!1!} = 6[/tex]

Total:

200 + 75 + 6 = 281

281 different committees can be formed if the number of boys is more than the number of girls​.

  0 ≤ t < 52.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Riko will be behind Yuto until her distance traveled matches his. That is, she will be behind for ...

  0.35t < 5.25 +0.25t

  0.10t < 5.25

  t < 52.5

Riko will be behind Yuto on the interval 0 ≤ t < 52.5 minutes.

_____

Additional comment

distance = speed × time

Here, time is measured from when Riko starts riding. In addition to the 5.25 miles that Yuto has already gone, his distance will be the product of his speed (0.25 mi/min) and the travel time (t min). Then Yuto's total distance is 5.25+0.25t miles. The speed×time product is also used to find Riko's distance traveled. In her case, it is 0.35t miles.

Two dogs run around a circular track 300 m long. One dog runs at a steady rate of 15m per second, the other at a steady rate of 12 m per second. Suppose they'd tart at the same point and time. What is the least number of seconds that will elapse before they are again together at the starting point?

Answers

Answer:

300 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The first dog run at v₁ = 15 m/sec     the second one run at  v₂ = 12 m/sec

we know that  d = v*t  then  t  =  d/v

Then the first dog will take  300/ 12  =  25 seconds to make a turn

The second will take   300 / 15   =   20 seconds to make a turn

Then the first dog in 12 turns 12*25 will be at the start point, and so will the second one at the turn 15.

To check  first dog    12 *  25 = 300

And the second dog 15 * 20 = 300

That means that time required for the two dogs to be at the start point together is

300 seconds, in that time the first dog finished the 12 turns, and the second had ended the 15.

Another procedure to solve this problem is as follows:

between  12  m/sec and  15 m/sec   the minimum common multiple  is 300 ( 300 is the smaller number that accept 12 and 15 as factors         12*15 = 300) Then when time arrives at 300 seconds the two dogs will be again in the starting point

Peter owned a juice shop. He sold a cup of lemon juice for $1.25 and a cup of apple juice for $2.50. If Peter sold a total of 155 cups of juice and collected a total of $256 approximately, how many cups of each type did he sell?

Answers

The number of cup of lemon juice is 105 cups and number of cup of apple juice is 50 cups.

What is a system of equation?

A system of equations is a set or collection of equations that you deal with all together at once. For a system to have a unique solution, the number of equations must equal the number of unknowns.

For the given situation,

Peter sold a cup of lemon juice = $1.25

Peter sold a cup of apple juice =  $2.50

Total number of cups sold = 155 cups

Total amount = $256

Let number of cup of lemon juice be x and

let number of cup of apple juice be y

The equations for the above statements are

[tex]x + y = 155 ------- (1)\\1.25x +2.50y = 256 ------- (2)[/tex]

From equation 1,

⇒ [tex]x=155-y[/tex]

Now substitute x in equation 2,

⇒ [tex]1.25(155-y)+2.50y=256[/tex]

⇒ [tex]193.75-1.25y+2.50y=256[/tex]

⇒ [tex]1.25y=256-193.75[/tex]

⇒ [tex]1.25y=62.25\\[/tex]

⇒ [tex]y=\frac{62.25}{1.25}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]y=49.8[/tex] ≈ [tex]50[/tex]

Now substitute y in equation 1,

⇒ [tex]x=155-50[/tex]

⇒ [tex]x=105[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the number of cup of lemon juice is 105 cups and number of cup of apple juice is 50 cups.

Answer: [tex]75\ m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The tower is 45 m high and Clinometer is set at 1.3 m above the ground

From the figure, we can write

[tex]\Rightarrow \tan 32^{\circ}=\dfrac{43.7}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{43.7}{\tan 32^{\circ}}\\\\\Rightarrow x=69.93\ m[/tex]

Similarly, for [tex]\triangle ACD[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow \tan 47^{\circ}=\dfrac{43.7+y}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow 69.93\times \tan 47^{\circ}=43.7+y\\\\\Rightarrow 74.99=43.7+y\\\Rightarrow y=31.29\ m[/tex]

Height of the tower is [tex]43.7+31.29\approx 75\ m[/tex]

:. In the diagram below, AC is congruent to CE and D is the midpoint of CE. If CE = 10x + 18, DE = 7x - 1, and BC = 9x - 2, find AB.​

Answers

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AC is similar to CE, we can say that they have equal lengths. We are given CE, DE, and BC. To solve this, we can solve for the length of CE (equal to AC) and then subtract that from BC.

To solve for CE, we are given DE and CE. We know that DE is 1/2 of CE because D is the midpoint of CE. Therefore,

7x-1 = 1/2(10x+18)

expand

7x-1 = 5x  + 9

add 1 to both sides to separate the 7x

7x = 5x + 10

subtract 5x from both sides to separate the x

2x = 10

divide both sides by 2 to separate the x

x=5

Therefore, DE = 7(5)-1 = 34 and CE = 10(5) + 18 = 68 = AC.

Using x=5, we know that BC  = 9(5) -2 = 43

Therefore, AB = AC-BC = 68-43 = 25

D is the midpoint of CE, so if you draw a line with those three points, it'll look like C-D-E.

Since DE = 7x-1, which also means CD = 7x-1.

CD + DE = CE, so (7x-1)+(7x-1) = 10x+18.

Therefore, x = 5 and CE = 68.

Since AC is congruent to CE, AC = 68.

Assuming the point B is somewhere between AC.

Since BC = 9x-2 and x = 5, which means BC = 43.

AC - BC = AB, so 68 - 43 = 25.

Therefore, AB = 25

Wesley initially filled a measuring cup with 5/6 of a cup of syrup from a large jug. Then he poured 1/2 of a cup back into the jug. How much syrup remains in the measuring cup?

Answers

Answer:

2/6 or 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We start off with 5/6 of a cup of syrup in a measuring cup.

Then Wesley pours out 1/2 of the syrup in the measuring cup.

Our equation looks like this:

5/6 - 1/2 = ?

However, we can't use this equation because the denominators (6 & 2) aren't the same. So we will find the LCD (least common denominator).

Mulitiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24

Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8

6 is the LCD for the both of them.

Multiply 3 to the numerator and denominator of 1/2 (because to get from 2 to 6 using multiplication, you mulitiply 3)

1/2 x 3/3 = 3/6

Now we can substitue 3/6 into our original equation and solve it:

5/6 - 3/6 = 2/6

It's better to use the simplified answer, 1/3.
