logarithm/341459: Solve. Where appropriate, include approximations to the nearest thousandth. If no solution exists, state this. log x = 2.5 1 solutions Answer 244496 by solver91311(16868)   on 2010-09-10 14:19:13 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the definition of logarithms and the presumption that an unspecified base means base 10. So: I'll leave you alone to spend some quality time with your calculator. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Conjunction/341454: What is the truth value for p ^ q? 1 solutions Answer 244495 by solver91311(16868)   on 2010-09-10 14:11:25 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! represents logical conjunction. Therefore is only true when both p is true and q is true. Just put in the appropriate truth values under the column John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

test/341437: Can you please help find what the LCM of is. I am getting frustrated. :D x^2 + 8x + 16 and x^2 + 2x -8 Thanks 1 solutions Answer 244484 by solver91311(16868)   on 2010-09-10 13:25:14 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Are you sure you want the LCM? As near as I can tell these two expressions have no common multiple -- ever. Now if you wanted the GCF, I can do that.

Linear_Equations_And_Systems_Word_Problems/341426: A small magazine publisher wants to determine the best combination of two possible magazines to print for the month of July. Backyard magazine, which he has published for years, is a steady seller. The publisher wants to make sure he prints at least 400 copies to meet his demand from the newstands. Porch is a new venture and has received the benefit of a great deal of advance publicity. The publisher is hoping that by positioning it near Backyard, he will pick up some spillover demand from his regular readers. Also, he is hoping that the advertising campaign will bring in a new type of reader from a potentially very lucrative market. He wants to print at least 300 copies of Porch. The cover price for backyard is $3.50; he is pricing Porch at $4.50 because other magazines in this market seem to be able to command this type of higher price. The publisher has 36 hours of printing time available for this production run. He also has 30 hours in the collation department, where the magazines are actually assembled. Each Backyard requires zines are actually assembled. Each Backyard requires 2.5 minutes per copy to print and 1.8 minutes per copy to collate. Each Porch requires 2 minutes to print and 2 minutes to collate. How many of each magazine should the publisher print to maximize his revenue? 1 solutions Answer 244477 by solver91311(16868)   on 2010-09-10 12:49:11 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Probability-and-statistics/341421: The probability that a certain region in Mexico will be hit by a hurricane in any given year is 0.07. What is the probability that the region will be hit by at least one hurricane in the next 14 years? 1 solutions Answer 244471 by solver91311(16868)   on 2010-09-10 12:37:26 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The probability of successes in trials where is the probability of success on any given trial is given by: Where is the number of combinations of things taken at a time and is calculated by Here you want to consider the probability over 14 trials where the probability of success (yes, in this context getting hit by a hurricane would be considered a 'success') is 0.07. The calculation outlined above gives the probability for a specific number of successes. Where you have situation such as in this problem where you are asked for the probability of "at least" some number, then you have to consider the probability of that number, plus the probability of one more, plus the probability of one more than that...up to the probability of success on every trial. Symbolically, here is what you would need: I'm sure you will agree that is uglier than a mud fence, and you may take it on faith that calculating such a thing has all of the entertainment value of watching paint dry. But fear not! There is a simpler way. The only possibility other than getting hit by at least one is to get hit by none at all! That means the probability of getting hit by at least one PLUS the probability of getting hit by none at all is equal to 1. In other words: And here is the 'so what': And since and , the above reduces to: I'll leave you alone to spend a little quality time with your calculator.

Step 1. Pick a value for x. It can be anything you like, but 0, 1, or some other small integer usually works well and makes the arithmetic easier. Step 2. Substitute that value in place of x in your equation. Do the arithmetic and determine the value of y that results. Step 3. Take the value of x that you selected for step 1 and the value of y that you calculated in step 2 and form an ordered pair (x, y). Step 4. Plot the ordered pair from Step 3 on your graph. Remember that the x value is the distance right or left along the horizontal axis and the y value is the distance up or down along the vertical axis. Step 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 with a different values for x each of four times. Step 6. Draw a line across your graph that passes through the five points that you plotted.

You have a function that involves both a radical with an even index (square root in this case) and a rational function (one expression divided by another). You must restrict your domain such that the expression under the radical is greater than or equal to zero and you must also restrict it so that the denominator of the rational expression does not equal zero. Restricting the denominator of the rational part of your function is simple in this case. You simply cannot let the value of your independent variable, (), be equal to 5. Restricting the radicand to zero or positive is a bit more complex. Note that if both denominator and numerator are negative, so the entire rational expression is positive. If , then the rational expression equals zero. If but , the denominator is positive but the numerator remains negative making the entire rational expression negative. This becomes the interval that must be restricted on the basis of maintaining a positive or zero radicand. If then the denominator of the rational expression becomes zero, hence this value must be restricted from the domain. If then both numerator and denominator of the rational expression are positive, and the entire radicand is positive. In summary, the domain is -1 or anything smaller and anything larger than 5. Hence, in interval notation: (,] Notice the bracket vice parentheses on the -1 end of the first interval. That includes the -1 endpoint as opposed to use of the parentheses on the 5 end of the second interval where we want to exclude the endpoint 5.

René Descartes started with "I think, therefore I am." While quite short, that is a complete sentence. The values of that make the equation a true statement are the -coordinates of the points where the graph of the analogous quadratic function intersect the -axis, if any exist. In this case, since the signs on the lead coefficient and the constant term are opposite, you are guaranteed that the graph of the function will intersect the -axis in two distinct points, and therefore the equation will have two distinct real roots.
