we know that

If two numbers have a sum of zero, then we say they are additive inverses

Let

x--------> the additive inverse of the increased of temperature

y--------> the increased of temperature

we know that

$x+y=0$ ---------> equation

in this problem we have

$y=20\° F$

substitute the value of y in the equation

$x+20\° F=0$

Solve for x

$x=-20\° F$

therefore

the answer is

the additive inverse of the temperature increase is $-20\° F$

55+20=75ºF
I am very confused but I'm guessing.

Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.

$4^{5x} = 3^{x-2}$

$\implies \log 4^{5x} = \log 3^{x-2}$

Drop the exponents:

$\implies 5x \log 4 = (x-2) \log 3$

Expand the right side:

$\implies 5x \log 4 = x \log 3 - 2 \log 3$

Move the terms containing x to the left side and factor out x :

$\implies 5x \log 4 - x \log 3 = - 2 \log 3$

$\implies x (5 \log 4 - \log 3) = - 2 \log 3$

Solve for x by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :

$\implies \boxed{x = -\dfrac{ 2 \log 3 }{ 5 \log 4 - \log 3 }}$

You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:

$\implies x = -\dfrac{ \log 3^2 }{ \log 4^5 - \log 3 }$

$\implies x = -\dfrac{ \log 9 }{ \log 1024 - \log 3 }$

$\implies \boxed{x = -\dfrac{ \log 9 }{ \log \frac{1024}3 }}$

You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,

$\implies \boxed{x = -\log_{\frac{1024}3}9}$

$\frac{1}{a^{-b} } =a^b \\c^{ \frac{a}{b} }= \sqrt[b]{c^a} \\ \\ \frac{1}{x^{- \frac{3}{6} }}=\frac{1}{x^{- \frac{1}{2} }} =x^ \frac{1}{2} = \sqrt[2]{x^1} = \sqrt{x}$

Find the circumference and area of a circle with a diameter of 14 inches. Leave your answers in terms of pi. C = 14π; A = 49π. C

Olenka [21]

Given:
diameter = 14 inches
radius = 14 inches / 2 = 7 inches

Circumference of a circle = 2 π r = 2 * π * 7inches = 14 inches * π

Area of a circle = π r² = π * (7in)² = π * 49in²

C = 14π and A = 49π

-4/5(-8x+6)=1+7 Please Help

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-4/5(-8x + 6) = 1 + 7 (distribute first)

6.4x -4.8 = 8 (add 4.8 on both sides)

6.4x = 12.8 (divide by 6.4)

x = 2

PLUG IN

-4/5(-8(2) + 6) = 1 + 7

-4/5(-16 + 6) = 8

-4/5(-10) = 8

8 = 8
