I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege. Q: which words in the passage help the reader to determine the meaning of the word deprived?

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

134.6 us dollars

step-by-step explanation:

1 us dollar = 1.33 canadian dollars

so, 150 us dollars = 150 × 1.33 = $199.5.

in canada, the money mitchell spent = 20 canadian dollars.

remaining canadian dollars with him = 199.5 - 20 = 179.5.

after mitchell returned to us, he exchanged the remaining canadian dollars to us dollars.

179.5 canadian dollars = 179.5 × 0.75 = 134.6 us dollars.
