Point-Slope Form::
y+-+y1=+m+%28x+-+x1%29++ where (x1, y1) is a point through which the line passes.
so given:
x1=1
y1=1
m= 1/4
y+-+1=+%281%2F4%29%28x+-+1%29
4%28y-1%29=%28x-1%29
+4y-4=x-1
x-4y=+-3
Standard Form x-4y=+-3, where A =1, B =-4,and C=-3

3+log+x+=+log+125
Basic Properties of Logs
n+log%28x%29= log%28%28x%5En%29%29.
so
log+%28%28x%5E3%29%29= log+%28%285+%5E3%29%29
take antilog to cancel the log
we get
x+%5E3+=+5+%5E3
x = 5

Answer 95451 by prabhjyot(164) About Me  on 2008-03-06 07:48:46 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
log(5x+1)=log(2x+3)+log2
log(5x+1)-log(2x+3)=log2
property of Logarithms
log%28+%28x%2Fy%29%29+=+log+x+-+log+y
log+%28%285x%2B1%29%2F%282x%2B3%29%29 = log+2
Take antilog of both sides to cancel the log
%28%285x%2B1%29%2F+%282x%2B3%29%29+=+2
(5x+1) = 2(2x+3)
5x + 1 = 4x +6
5x-4x = 6-1
x = 5

1 solutions

Answer 95335 by prabhjyot(164) About Me  on 2008-03-05 10:04:21 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A series such as 3 + 7 + 11 + 15 + ··· + 99 or 10 + 20 + 30 + ··· + 1000 which has a constant difference between terms. The first term is a1, the common difference is d, and the number of terms is n. The sum of an arithmetic series is found by multiplying the number of terms times the average of the first and last terms.

Formula: sum = n%2A%28%28a1%2Ban%29%2F2+%29

x-intercept:-3
slope :undefined
equation of line :x=-3
To avoid the problems of lines that have infinite slopes, don't use
the equation y = mx + b; instead use the equation
ax + by + c = 0
All lines (even with infinite slopes) can be represented using that
equation.


Trigonometry-basics/92375: find the length of the arc on a circle of radius r=16 inches by a central angle = 60 degrees?

Let central angle be θ, and the radius be r.
θ = 60 degrees
r = 16 in
60 degrees = 60 pi/180 radians = pi/3 radians
arc length = s = rθ= pi/3 *16in = 16pi%2F3

1 solutions

Answer 55697 by prabhjyot(164) About Me  on 2007-04-10 13:25:08 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Sqrt(2)-sqrt( 8)
we can write sqrt(8) =2*sqrt(2)
So sqrt(2) - 2*(sqrt(2))
Taking the common term out we get,
= sqrt(2)*(1-2)
= (-sqrt(2))


Rectangles/77647: The width of a rectangle is 7 ft less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 120 ft2(square). Find the width of the rectangle.
1 solutions

Answer 55696 by prabhjyot(164) About Me  on 2007-04-10 12:50:19 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The width of a rectangle is 7 ft less than the length. The area of the rectangle is 120 ft2(square). Find the width of the rectangle.
If we let the length = L
Then, the width, or w, will be L-7
We know that the area of a rectangle is length times width.
So, L(L-7)=120
L%5E2-7L=120+
L%5E2-7L-120=0+

(L-15)(L+8)
So, L=15,-8 length can't be negative, so L=15
So width w=L-7=15-7=8
So width of the rectangle is 8 ft.
