To round you must see if the fraction is greater or less than a half to see if you round up or down. 1/8 is less than 1/2, so you must round down. So the answer is 5.

You look at the fraction: 1/8
You determine if it's closer to 0, 0.5, or 1.
In this case it is closer to 0.
So the answer would be 5.

Answer:

-2x-5y+8z+4.5=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x,y,z) be the coordinates of the point lying on the needed plane. This point is equidistant from the points (-3, 5, -4) and (-5, 0, 4), so

$d_1=\sqrt{(x-(-3))^2+(y-5)^2+(z-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z+4)^2}\\ \\d_2=\sqrt{(x-(-5))^2+(y-0)^2+(z-4)^2}=\sqrt{(x+5)^2+y^2+(z-4)^2}\\ \\d_1=d_2\Rightarrow \sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z+4)^2}=\sqrt{(x+5)^2+y^2+(z-4)^2}\\ \\(x+3)^2+(y-5)^2+(z+4)^2=(x+5)^2+y^2+(z-4)^2\\ \\x^2+6x+9+y^2-10y+25+z^2+8z+16=x^2+10x+25+y^2+z^2-8z+16\\ \\-4x-10y+16z+9=0\\ \\-2x-5y+8z+4.5=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y = log_2 x^2 \\ \therefore y = \frac{log x^2}{log2}\\ (By\:change\:of\:base\:law) \\ \\ \therefore y = \frac{2log x}{log2}\\\\ differentiating \: both \: side \: w \: r \: t \: x. \\ \\ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{log2} \bigg(\frac{d}{dx} log x \bigg) \\ \\ \therefore \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{log2} \bigg( \frac{1} {x} \times \frac{d}{dx} x \bigg) \\ \\ \therefore \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{log2} \bigg(\frac{1}{x} \times 1\bigg) \\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{xlog2}}}$
