Answer:

-5/48

Step-by-step explanation:

(8 · 2⁷ˣ)⁴ = (1/16)⁵ˣ · 128

Take log of both sides.

log (8 · 2⁷ˣ)⁴ = log ((1/16)⁵ˣ · 128)

Use log exponent/product rules.

4 log (8 · 2⁷ˣ) = log (1/16)⁵ˣ + log 128

Use log exponent/product rules.

4 (log 8 + log (2⁷ˣ)) = 5x log (1/16) + log 128

Use log exponent rule.

4 (log 8 + 7x log 2) = 5x log (1/16) + log 128

Distribute.

4 log 8 + 28x log 2 = 5x log (1/16) + log 128

Write as powers of 2.

4 log 2³ + 28x log 2 = 5x log (2⁻⁴) + log 2⁷

Use log exponent rule.

12 log 2 + 28x log 2 = -20x log 2 + 7 log 2

Combine like terms.

5 log 2 + 48x log 2 = 0

Divide by log 2.

5 + 48x = 0

Solve for x.

x = -5/48

The diameter of a sphere is 8 centimeters. What is the volume of the sphere? Use 3.14 for pi. Enter your answer, as a decimal, i

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The volume of a sphere is given by the equation $V= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ , where r is the radius.

We are given the diameter of the sphere, but recall that the diameter is twice the radius: $d=2r$ . So the radius is half of the diameter: $r= \frac{1}{2}d$ .

Half of 8 cm is 4 cm.

We substitute this for r in the equation and we use 3.14 for π.

$V= \frac{4}{3}(3.14)(4)^3= \frac{(4^4)(3.14)}{3}=267.9 \ cm^3$

What is the solution set of x^2+y^2=26 and x-y=6

Strike441 [17]

$x^{2} + y^{2} =26 x-y=6 x=y+6
 Replacing in equation; (y+6[tex] )^{2}$ + $y^{2}$ =26
$y^{2} +12x+36+ y^{2} =36$
= $2y^{2} +12x+36-26=0$
= $2y^{2} +12x+10=0$
Product = 12
Sum= 10
factoring;
2 $y^{2}$ +2y+10y+10=0
2y(y+1)+10(y+1)=0
(2y+10)(y+1)=0
y=-1 or 2y=-10
y=-5
x=y+6
When y =-1
x=-1+6
x=5
when y =-5
x=-5+6
x=+1

Please help (angles)

OLEGan [10]

Angle 6&5 are supplementary so they make a line. (Add to 180.)
(3x-34)+124=180 combine like terms
3x + 90=180 subtract 90 from both sides
3x = 90. Divide by 3
X = 30
