Determine if each statement is true or false. Justify your answer.
log (x-2)= log x/log 2

Answers

Answer 1

The logarithm statement log (x - 2) = log x / log 2 is a false statement as log x / log 2 = log x - log 2.

We are given the logarithm as:

log (x - 2) = log x / log 2

We need to tell if it is true of not.

We get that, it is false statement.

We know that log a / log b = log a - log b

So, log x / log 2 = log x - log 2

So, it is not equal to log (x - 2)

Therefore, we get that, the logarithm statement log (x - 2) = log x / log 2 is a false statement as log x / log 2 = log x - log 2.

Ryan and Aqil had 352 stickers altogether. After Ryan lost 25% of his stickers, the ratio of Ryan's stickers to Aqil's stickers was 9:4. How many stickers did Aqil have?​

Answers

Aqil have 88 stickers.

Let Ryan have x stickers initially. Then Aqil will have (352-x) stickers. Ryan lost 25% of his stickers i.e., x-(25% of x)

= x- 25x/100

= x-x/4

= 3x/4

After Ryan lost 25% of his stickers, the ratio of Ryan's stickers to Aqil's stickers was 9:4 i.e.,

3x/4 : (352-x) = 9 : 4

⇒ 3x/4/(352-x) = 9/4

⇒3x/4 x 4 = 9 x (352-x)

⇒3x = 3168-9x

⇒3x+9x = 3168

⇒12x = 3168

⇒x = 3168/12

⇒x = 264

∴ Ryan have 264 stickers of the total 352 stickers and Aqil will have (352-x) i.e., 88 stickers.

Hence, Aqil have 88 stickers out of the 352 stickers.

A business owner made a survey where he ask his customers150 what do they like the most between a fish and meat and he got this data 85 like meat 125 like fish 70 like both fish and meat 1 what is the probability for a customer to pick at least one item?

Answers

Taking into account the definition of probability, the probability for a customer to pick at least one item is 14/15.

Definition of Probabitity

Probability is the possibility that a phenomenon or an event will happen, given certain circumstances and it is expressed as a percentage.

The probability of any event A is defined as the ratio between the number of cases in which event A may or may not occur and the total number of possible cases. This is called Laplace's Law:

P(A)= number of favorable cases÷ total number of posible cases

Union of events

The union of events, AUB, is the event formed by all the elements of A and B. That is, the event is verified when one of the two, A or B, or both occurs and it is read as "A or B".

The probability of the union of two compatible events is calculated as the sum of their probabilities subtracting the probability of their intersection:

P(A∪B)= P(A) + P(B) -P(A∩B)

where the intersection of events, A∩B, is the event formed by all the elements that are, at the same time, from A and B.

Probability for a customer to pick at least one item

In first place, let's define the following events:

M: The event that a customer like meat.F: The event that a customer like fish.

So you know:

P(M)= 85÷150= 17/30P(F)= 125÷150= 5/6P(F and R)= P(F∩R)= 70÷150= 7/15

In this case, considering the definition of union of events, the probability for a customer to pick at least one item is calculated as:

P(M∪F)= P(M) + P(F) -P(M∩F)

P(M∪F)= 17/30 + 5/6 -7/15

P(M∪F)= 14/15

Finally, the probability for a customer to pick at least one item is 14/15.

a. What is a function that relates the sales and the number of muffins?

Answers

The function that relates the sales and the number of muffins is :

S = 2.5 m

What is the sales amount ?

The sales amount can be find by the total sales. That is , if there are n products to sell and selling amount is x rs. then we can easily find the total sales by multiplying them and by this total sales we can easily find the number of items sold per units and vice versa.

In the question given,

amount (A) = $ 250.00

Now take any of two values from table ,

Choose any two points and calculate the slope:

slope = [tex]\frac{50 - 20}{20 - 8}[/tex] =  2.5

thus, y = 2.5x

Hence we can say the function that relates the sales and the number of muffins is :

S = 2.5 m

where, S = sales amount

The transformations needed to sketch the graph of [tex]h(x) = \sqrt[3]{1 - x}[/tex] are described as follows:

Starting with the graph of the basic function [tex]y = \sqrt[3]{x}[/tex], horizontally shift the graph right one unit, and then reflected the graph about the x-axis.

What is a transformation in a function?

A transformation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction either in it’s range(involving values of y) or in it’s domain(involving values of x).

Examples are shift left, shift right, shift down, shift up, vertical stretching, horizontal stretching, vertical compression, horizontal compression, reflection over the x-axis, reflection over the y-axis, and rotations by a determined amount(in degrees). All these translations have predetermined rules that we apply to the figures.

The parent cube root function is given by:

[tex]y = \sqrt[3]{x}[/tex]

To have x -> x - 1, we reflect the function over the y-axis, hence:

[tex]y = \sqrt[3]{-x}[/tex]

To have -x -> 1 - x, we shift it one unit right, hence:

[tex]h(x) = \sqrt[3]{1 - x}[/tex]

The order of the transformations can be reversed, i. e., shift right then reflection.

Thus the correct statement to sketch the graph is given by:

Starting with the graph of the basic function [tex]y = \sqrt[3]{x}[/tex], horizontally shift the graph right one unit, and then reflected the graph about the x-axis.

A composite function exists as a function that depends on another function. The value for  (f⁰f)(0) = - 4/3

What is meant by composition function?

In mathematics, function composition exists as an operation ∘ that takes two functions f and g, and has a function h = g ∘ f such that h(x) = g. In this operation, the function g exists used to the result of applying the function f to x.

Function composition is a mathematical procedure where two functions, f, and g, are taken and a function, h = g ∘ f, is produced such that h(x) = g(f(x)). The function g exists used in this operation on the outcome of applying the function f to x.

Let the two functions be g(x) = 3x + 2 and f(x) = x - 2/3

Now, (f⁰f)(x) = f[f(x)]

f(x) = x - 2/3

(f⁰f)(x) = f( x - 2/3)

simplifying the above equation, we get

(f⁰f)(x) = (x - 2/3) - 2/3  

(f⁰f)(0) = - 2/3 - 2/3

(f⁰f)(0) = - 4/3

Therefore, the value of (f⁰f)(0) = - 4/3.

This is not a true sequence. It just has the same things done to the numerator as to the denominator.

The numerator (top part of the fraction).

Add 3 to the previous numerator's top

So 3 + 3 = 6 which is the numerator of the second term.

15 + 3 = 18 which is the numerator of the seventh term.

So the numerator of the 4th term is 9 + 3 = 12

Forman1911THE MATCHThere never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature-by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there.The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.What issue made a match, or other device for starting a fire, necessary? (5 points)O Fire was hard to transport.
