This was my very last homework question and i'm stumped. log_4(x+1)-log_4(x)=3

1 answer:

4 0

$\log_4(x+1)-\log_4x=3 \qquad(x>0)\\ \log_4\dfrac{x+1}{x}=3\\ \dfrac{x+1}{x}=4^3\\ \dfrac{x+1}{x}=64\\ x+1=64x\\ 63x=1\\ x=\dfrac{1}{63}$

20% of what number is 18<br> Explain.

Sophie [7]

In this question, the thing that needs to be found is the number whose 20% would be 18. The information's required for getting to the solution are already provided in the question. based on those given information's, the answer can be deduced very easily.
Let us assume the unknown number to be = x
Then
(20/100) * x = 18
x/5 = 18
x = 18 * 5
= 90
so the unknown number in the question is 90. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

The data set represents a progression of hourly temperature measurements.Use the regression equation to predict the temperature

zimovet [89]

I will attach google sheet that I used to find regression equation.
We can see that linear fit does work, but the polynomial fit is much better.
We can see that R squared for polynomial fit is higher than R squared for the linear fit. This tells us that polynomials fit approximates our dataset better.
This is the polynomial fit equation:
$T(h)=20.2-3.6h-0.875h^2$
I used h to denote hours. Our prediction of temperature for the sixth hour would be:
$T(6)=20.2-3.6(6)-0.875(6)^2=-32.9$
