Prove that if a^x=b^y=ab^xy then x+y=1

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prove that if

a^x = b^y = (ab)^(xy)  then x + y = 1.

From the second equation:  

y = 1 - x

So we have:

a^x = b^y = b^(1-x)  

Taking logs:

x ln a = (1-x)ln b

x ln a + x ln b = ln b

x = ln b / ( ln a + ln b)

x = ln b / ln ab.

This is true if x + y = 1.

Now consider b^y = (ab)^(xy):

b^(1 - x) = (ab)^(x(1- x)

ln b - x ln b = x(1 - x)ln ab

ln b - x ln b = x ln ab - x^2 ln ab

Now we substitute for x = ln b / ln ab in this expression.

If left side = right side then we have proved this identity and therefore the original one.

Left side =  ln b - (ln b / ln ab) * ln b =  ln b - (ln b)^2 / ln ab.

Right side = (ln b / ln ab) * ln ab - [(ln b)^2 / (ln ab)^2] * ln ab

=    ln b - (ln b)^2 / ln ab.

Left side = right side so this identity is true, and so the original one

( x + y = 1) is true also.

How many solutions does -2 + 5p + 10 = 10 + 3p have?

Answers

Answer:

Only 1 solution

Step-by-step explanation:

-2 + 5p + 10 = 10 + 3p

Subtract 10 from both sides:

-2 + 5p + 10 -10 = 10 + 3p- 10

Simplify:

-2+5p=3p

Add 2 to both sides:

-2+5p+2=3p+2

Subtract 3p from both sides:

5p-3p=3p+2-3p

simplify:

2p=2

Divide both sides by 2:

2p/2=2/2

Simplify:

p=1

If diana spends 25 minutes running at the gym how many minutes does she spend lifting weight

Answers

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

The question doesn’t say that she lifted weights

If Diana spends 25 minutes running at the gym, then she spend lifting weight for 13 minutes.

What is an Equation?

An equation is the statement of two expressions located on two sides connected with an equal to sign. The two sides of an equation is usually called as left hand side and right hand side.

Given that,

At the gym, Diana always spends more minutes running than lifting weights.

If r represents the number of minutes Diana runs and w represents the number of minutes Diana lifts weights, then, r must be greater than w.

Possible equations are,

12 + w = r

r - 12 = w

In both cases, r is greater than w.

If Diana spends 25 minutes running at the gym, r = 25.

w = r - 12 = 25 - 12 = 13

Hence the number of minutes that Diana spends lifting weights is 13 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

2/10 or 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 10 ducks, and only 2 have green dots.

So the probability would be 2 / 10, which simplifies to 1 / 5.

Greatest common factor of 2 and 10: 2

So: 2 ÷ 2 = 1

IT'S A TIME SENSITIVE EMERGENCY!!!
2. Mai, Clare, and Tyler are hiking from a parking lot to the summit of a mountain. They pass a sign that gives distances. Parking lot: mile Summit: 1 miles Mai says: "We are one third of the way there." Clare says: "We have to go twice as far as we have already gone." Tyler says: "The total hike is three times as long as what we have already gone." Can they all be correct? Explain how you know.​

Answers

Complete question is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Yes, they are all correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image, we see that the sign is showing;

Parking lot: ¾ miles

Summit: 1½ miles

Summit distance can also be expressed as an improper fraction = 3/2 miles

Now, since they started hiking from the park to the summit, it means that they had moved ¾ mile from the parking lot and had 3/2 miles left to get to the summit.

Thus, total distance from parking lot to summit = ¾ + 3/2 = 9/4 miles

Now, let's analyze each of their statements;

Mai said they are a third of their way there.

They had covered 3/4 mile and the total distance is 9/4 miles.

Thus, fraction of total distance covered is;

9/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1/3.

So, Mai is correct

Clare said they have to go twice as far as they had already gone.

They had covered 3/4 miles.

Therefore, twice this = 2 × 3/4 = 6/4 = 3/2 which is same as the sign distance left to the summit.

Thus, Clare is correct

Tyler said that the total hike is three times as long as what we have already gone.

They had gone 3/4 miles

3 times this = 3 × 3/4 = 9/4 miles.

This tallies with the total distance calculated earlier.

Thus, they are all correct

Answer:

A. 0.2734 = 27.34% probability that there are an equal number of boys and girls

B. 0.2753 = 27.53% probability that she’ll answer exactly 5 questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

In each of these questions, the binomial probability distribution is used.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [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]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A.The Murray family has produced 8 children.

What is the probability that there are an equal number of boys and girls?

8 children means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]

Each children is equally as likely to be a boy or a girl, which means that [tex]p = 0.5[/tex]

This probability is P(X = 4). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{8,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.2734[/tex]

0.2734 = 27.34% probability that there are an equal number of boys and girls

B.Margie has the uncanny ability of being able to guess the correct answer to TRUE/FALSE questions with an 80% accuracy rate. Tomorrow’s test has 7 questions on it and she needs to answer 5 questions correctly in order to make the Honor Roll. If she guesses on every question, what is the probability that she’ll answer exactly 5 questions correctly?

80% accurracy rate means that [tex]p = 0.8[/tex]

7 questions means that [tex]n = 7[/tex]

The probability is P(X = 5). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{7,5}.(0.8)^{5}.(0.2)^{2} = 0.2753[/tex]

0.2753 = 27.53% probability that she’ll answer exactly 5 questions correctly
