X^2 -2x +2 = 0
x^2 -2x +1 +1 = 0
(x - 1)^2=-1
x - 1 = sqrt -1 and -x + 1 = sqrt -1
x = (sqrt -1) + 1 and 1 - sqrt -1
sqrt means square root

How do I solve these problems? ln(x) = 5.6 + ln(7.5) and log(x) = 5.6 - log(7.5)
SOVA2 [1]

Use the rules of logarithms and the rules of exponents.

... ln(ab) = ln(a) + ln(b)

... e^ln(a) = a

... (a^b)·(a^c) = a^(b+c)

_____

1) Use the second rule and take the antilog.

... e^ln(x) = x = e^(5.6 + ln(7.5))

... x = (e^5.6)·(e^ln(7.5)) . . . . . . use the rule of exponents

... x = 7.5·e^5.6 . . . . . . . . . . . . use the second rule of logarithms

... x ≈ 2028.2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . use your calculator (could do this after the 1st step)

2) Similar to the previous problem, except base-10 logs are involved.

... x = 10^(5.6 -log(7.5)) . . . . . take the antilog. Could evaluate now.

... = (1/7.5)·10^5.6 . . . . . . . . . . of course, 10^(-log(7.5)) = 7.5^-1 = 1/7.5

... x ≈ 53,080.96

Michael is 4 times as old as Brandon and is also 27 years older than Brandon. How old is Michael?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Michael is 36 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M represent Michael's age, and let B represent Brandon's age,

"Michael is 4 times as old as Brandon" becomes

   M = 4B

"Michael is also 27 years older than Brandon" becomes

    M = B + 27

Since the two equations are equal to M, they are equal to each other, so we have...

4B = B  + 27            now solve for B...

3B = 27

B = 9

There fore

M = 9 + 27 = 36

In politics, marketing, etc. We often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is t
inessss [21]

Answer: |p-72% |≤ 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion.

The absolute inequality about p using an absolute value inequality.:

|p-\hat{p}| \leq E , where E = margin of error, \hat{p} = sample proportion

Given:  A poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% .

|p-72% |≤ 4%

⇒    72% - 4% ≤ p ≤ 72% +4%

⇒  68%  ≤ p ≤  76%.

i.e. p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (.
