How to solve an expression with variables in the exponents?

Mathematics
1 answer:
gtnhenbr [62]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  use logarithms

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the logarithm of an expression with a variable in the exponent makes the exponent become a coefficient of the logarithm of the base.

__

You will note that this approach works well enough for ...

  a^(x+3) = b^(x-6) . . . . . . . . . . . variables in the exponents

  (x+3)log(a) = (x-6)log(b) . . . . . a linear equation after taking logs

but doesn't do anything to help you solve ...

  x +3 = b^(x -6)

There is no algebraic way to solve equations that are a mix of polynomial and exponential functions.

__

Some functions have been defined to help in certain situations. For example, the "product log" function (or its inverse) can be used to solve a certain class of equations with variables in the exponent. However, these functions and their use are not normally studied in algebra courses.

In any event, I find a graphing calculator to be an extremely useful tool for solving exponential equations.

ella [17]
To find out the answer, you first need to know how many apples you have. So since you put 4 apples in 4 drawers, we just multiply 4×4 to get our answer so, 4×4= 16, So you have 16 apples. To find out how many you gave your friend, you just subtract 24 - 16 = 8, So your friend got 8 apples.

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you write out the coordinates, you can see that you can do the Vertical Line Test and confirm that if you were to write a function, it would be an actual function. No 2 x-values can be the same y-values. The coordinates all have separate xy values (or the same exact xy values) and you can determine a function.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

10.55% probability

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the CDs are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

1 Bach CD, from a set of 4.

1 Beethoven CD, from a set of 6.

1 Brahms CD, from a set of 3.

1 Handel CD, from a set of 2.

So, D=144

4 CDs from a set of 4+6+3+2 = 15.

So, T= 1365

p= D/T= 144/1365 = 0.1055

10.55% probability that she will choose one by each composer
