ANSWER

EXPLANATION
According to the power property of logarithms:

The given logarithm is

When we apply the power property to this logarithm, we get,

Answer:
The answer is $40.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the equation given in the question, we can assume that 550 is constant and was there when Mai started saving into a checking account.
Then as x gets increased by 1 each week, the amount of change in the account per week is $40.
I hope this answer helps.
We start with

and wish to write it as

First, pull 2 out from the first two terms:

Let’s look at what is in parenthesis. In the final form this needs to be a perfect square. Right now we have

and we can obtain -10x by adding -5x and -5x. That is, we can build the following perfect square:

The “problem” with what we just did is that we added to what was given. Let’s put the expression together. We have

and when we multiply that out it does not give us what we started with. It gives us

So you see our expression is not right. It should have a -53 but instead has a -3. So to correct it we need to subtract another 50.
We do this as follows:

which gives us the final expression we seek:

If you multiply this out you will get the exact expression we were given. This means that:
a = 2
d = -5
e = -103
We are asked for the sum of a, d and e which is 2 + (-5) + (-103) = -106
Answer:
Acute angles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Acute angles are from 0-90 degrees.

Answer: 25%
Step-by-step explanation: The question tells us that the population decreases by 1/4 every single year. That means, since 1/4 equals .25, the population decreases by 25% every year :)
