Solve for x. x = log44
kkurt [141]
First, set the equation in exponential form. 
x=logbY  to  b^x=Y
x=log44.  so x=x, b=10, Y=44
10^x=44  
I know that 10^1=10, 10^2=100, and 10^1.5=31.6 so x should be between 1.5 and 2.
The answer is x=1.64.

Solve and graph the absolute value inequality: |2x + 4| &gt; 14.
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

"number line with open circles on negative 9 and 5, shading going in the opposite directions."

Step-by-step explanation:

Your inequality doesn't include an equal sign so there will be no closed holes. It will only be open holes.

|u|>14 means that the number u has to be greater than 14 or less than -14.  These numbers I describe just now all have a distance greater than 14 from 0.

So |u|>14 implies u>14 or u<-14.

But we are solving |2x+4|>14 so this implies we have 2x+4>14 or 2x+4<-14.

2x+4>14

Subtract 4 on both sides:

2x    >10

Divide both sides by 2:

x      >5

2x+4<-14

Subtract 4 on both sides:

2x    <-18

Divide both sides by 2:

x      <-9

So our solution is x>5 or x<-9.

Graphing!

~~~~~~~O                                         O~~~~~~~~

-----------(-9)---------------------------------(5)---------------

So we shaded to the right of 5 because our inequality says x is bigger than 5.

We shaded to the left of -9 because our inequality says x is less than -9.
