Explain how to solve 5^(x-2)= 8 using the change of base formula

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3.3

Step-by-step explanation:

A equation is given to us and we need to solve out for x. The given equation is ,

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow 5^{x -2}= 8 [/tex]

Take log on both sides with base as " 10" . We have ,

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow log_{10} 5^{x-2}= log_{10}\ 8[/tex]

Simplify using the property of log , [tex]\sf log a^m = m log a [/tex] , we have ,

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow ( x -2) log_{10} 5 = log_{10} 8 [/tex]

Simplify ,

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow ( x -2 ) log_{10}5 = log_{10} 2^3[/tex]

Again simplify using the property of log ,

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow (x-2) log 5 = 3 log 2[/tex]

We know that log 5 = 0.69 and log 2 = 0.301 , on substituting this , we have ,

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow ( x - 2 ) = \dfrac{ 3\times 0.301}{0.69}[/tex]

Simplify the RHS ,

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow x - 2 = 1.30 [/tex]

Add 2 both sides ,

[tex]\sf\longrightarrow \boxed{\blue{\sf x = 3.30}}[/tex]

Hence the Value of x is 3.30 .

Answer 2

Answer:

its actually 3.292 because we round to the nearest thousandth and thats not even the equation you use above

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation we use the formula log a^m=m (log a) so the equation will be written as log 5 (5^x-2) = log 5 (8). You use the base, which is 5, and use log to base 5 on both sides of the equation. Then you take the exponent " x-2" and write( x-2) log 5 (5) = log 5(8). Since log a =1, you multiply that 1 by x-2, which keeps it x-2. Making the equation x-2 = log 5 (8). Next, we use the change of the base properties with the formula log b^y= log y/ log b. The equation will be written as x-2 = log 8/ log 5, since 5 is the base it stays in the bottom or basement. We then add +2 to both sides of x-2 and log 8/ log 5. To solve this equation, you can find out what log 8 and log 5 are and divide those and add +2 to solve. So log 8 = 0.903 and log 5 = 0.698970 and divide those to get 1.29190 +2 and you get the answer rounded as 3.292.

Determine the 3 digit chopping and rounding approximately of the number 0.9

Answers

Answer:

We want to "chop and round" the periodic number 0.9 at 3 digits.

First, remember that we can write our periodic number as:

0.9 = 0.9999...

Such that the nine repeats infinitely.

Now we want to chop it at the third digit, and then round.

To chop at the third digit we just "cut" the number at the third digit after the decimal point, we will get:

0.9 ≈ 0.999

Now we round.

Remember that to round a number, we need to look at the last digit after the decimal point.

If the last digit is 5 or larger, we round up, adding 1 to the previous decimal.

If the last digit is 4 or smaller, we round down, don't adding anything to the previous decimal.

in our number:

0.999

The last digit is a 9, so we round up.

Then we add "1" to the previous decimal

but the previous decimal is a 9, so when we add 1, it will transform into a 10.

So it also adds one to the previous decimal, which also is a 9, so the process repeats, this time adding 1 to the decimal to its left, in this case, that decimal will be the first decimal at the left of the decimal point.

So after rounding, we will get:

0.999 ≈ 1

Then we can conclude that:

he 3 digit chopping and rounding approximately of the number 0.9 is 1"

3x (x - 2) = x^2 - 4

Answers

Answer:

x = 1, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x(x - 2) = x² - 4 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

3x² - 6x = x² - 4 ( subtract x² - 4 from both sides )

2x² - 6x + 4 = 0 ( divide through by 2

x² - 3x + 2 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 2) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 3)

The factors are - 1 and - 2 , since

- 1 × - 2 = + 2 and - 1 - 2 = - 3 , then

(x - 1)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

what are the coordinates of vertices of quadrilateral ABCD? use the coordinates to find the length of DA.
A(-5,-4)
B (1,4)
C(4,0)
D(1,-4)
Need help ASAP ???

Answers

We can conclude that the length of DA is 6.

For a quadrilateral defined as ABCD, the vertices of the quadrilateral are the points in the name, so the four vertices are the points A, B, C, and D.

These are given, so we know that the vertices are the points:

A(-5,-4)

B (1,4)

C(4,0)

D(1,-4)

Now we want to find the length of DA, this is the distance between points D and A.

Remember that the distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}[/tex]

Then for the case of the points:

A (-5, -4) and D (1, -4)

the distance is given by:

[tex]d = \sqrt{(1 - (-5))^2 + (-4 - (-4))^2} = \sqrt{(1 + 5)^2} = 6[/tex]

Then we can conclude that the length of DA is 6.

The shortest side is opposite the smallest angle

∠ T = 17° → opposite side RS

1) Jeffrey has two bags of marbles. One has a 2 green marbles and 3 red marbles. The second bag has a blue and 2 yellow marble. Darren draws one marble from each bag. What are all the possible outcomes? How large is the sample space?​

Answers

A sample space is the space of all the possible outcomes in this event.

Let's define each outcome as:

(first marble, second marble)

Where the first marble can be green or red.

The second marble can be blue or yellow.

Then the possible outcomes are:

(green, yellow)

(green, blue)

(red, yellow)

(red, blue)

So we have four different outcomes, which means that the sample space has 4 elements.

Notice that the number of marbles of each color does not affect this, these numbers only affect the probability of each one of these possible outcomes.
