Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Method 1: Taking the log of both sides...
So take the log of both sides...
5^(2x + 1) = 25
log 5^(2x + 1) = log 25 <-- use property: log (a^x) = x log a...
(2x + 1)log 5 = log 25 <-- distribute log 5 inside the brackets...
(2x)log 5 + log 5 = log 25 <-- subtract log 5 both sides of the equation...
(2x)log 5 + log 5 - log 5 = log 25 - log 5
(2x)log 5 = log (25/5) <-- use property: log a - log b = log (a/b)
(2x)log 5 = log 5 <-- divide both sides by log 5
(2x)log 5 / log 5 = log 5 / log 5 <--- this equals 1..
2x = 1
x=1/2
Method 2
5^(2x+1)=5^2
2x+1=2
2x=1
x=1/2
Answer:
<h2>There are 3,921,225 ways to select the winners.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is about combinations with no repetitions, because the same person can't win four times. It's a combinaction because the order of winning doesn't really matter.
Combinations without repetitions are defined as

Where
and
.
Replacing values, we have

Therefore, there are 3,921,225 ways to select the winners.
Additionally, as you can imagine, the probability of winning is extremely low, it would be 3,921,225 to 1.
