You spin the spinner and pick a card. How many outcomes are possible?

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places

step-by-step explanation:

the distance (d) between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the formula

d = √   ((x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2)

d = √ (-11-6)2+(4-3)2

d = √ )2+(1)2)

d = √ (289+1)

d = √ 290

the distance between the points is 17.0293863659264

the midpoint of two points is given by the formula

midpoint= ((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)

find the x value of the midpoint

xm=(x1+x2)/2

xm=(6+-11)/2=-2.5

find the y value of the midpoint

ym=(y1+y2)/2

ym=(3+4)/2=3.5

the midpoint is: (-2.5,3.5)

graphing the two points, midpoint and distance

p2 (-11,4)

midpoint (-2.5,3.5)

the length of the black line is the distance between the points (17.0293863659264)

find the slope of the line connecting the two points

slope =   (y2-y1)   =   (4-3)   =   (1)   = -0.0588235294117647

(x2-x1) (-11-6) (-17)

find the equation of the line passing through the two points

the general equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m represents the slope of the line which we found in the previous step to be -0.0588235294117647

y = -0.06x + b

we substitute x and y for the values from one of our points (6,3)

3 = -.06×6 + b

3 = -0.35 + b

3--0.35 = b

3.35 = b

knowing both b and m, we can contruct the equation of the line

y= -0.06x+ 3.35

x and y intercepts

the x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero

using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for y

y= -0.06x+ 3.35

0= -0.06x+ 3.35

0.06x= 3.35

x= 3.35/0.06 = 57.00

the x intercept for this straight line is 57.00

the y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is zero

using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for x

y= -0.06×0+ 3.35

y= 3.35

the y intercept for this straight line is 57.00

the distance (d) between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the formula

d = √   ((x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2)

d = √ (-11-6)2+(4-3)2

d = √ )2+(1)2)

d = √ (289+1)

d = √ 290

the distance between the points is 17.0293863659264

the midpoint of two points is given by the formula

midpoint= ((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)

find the x value of the midpoint

xm=(x1+x2)/2

xm=(6+-11)/2=-2.5

find the y value of the midpoint

ym=(y1+y2)/2

ym=(3+4)/2=3.5

the midpoint is: (-2.5,3.5)

graphing the two points, midpoint and distance

the length of the black line is the distance between the points (17.0293863659264)

find the slope of the line connecting the two points

slope =   (y2-y1)   =   (4-3)   =   (1)   = -0.0588235294117647

(x2-x1) (-11-6) (-17)

find the equation of the line passing through the two points

the general equation for a straight line is

y = mx + b

where m represents the slope of the line which we found in the previous step to be -0.0588235294117647

y = -0.06x + b

we substitute x and y for the values from one of our points (6,3)

3 = -.06×6 + b

3 = -0.35 + b

3--0.35 = b

3.35 = b

knowing both b and m, we can contruct the equation of the line

y= -0.06x+ 3.35

x and y intercepts

the x-intercept is a point on the graph where y is zero

using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for y

y= -0.06x+ 3.35

0= -0.06x+ 3.35

0.06x= 3.35

x= 3.35/0.06 = 57.00

the x intercept for this straight line is 57.00

the y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is zero

using the equation we found in the previous step and substituting zero for x

y= -0.06×0+ 3.35

y= 3.35

the y intercept for this straight line is 57.00 and therefore the awnser is c.
