You said                                                    <u>0.2^x = 25</u>

Take the logarithm of each side:     x log(0.2) = log(25)

Divide each side by  log(0.2):         x = log(25) / log(0.2)   

                                                              =  1.39794 / -0.69897  =<em>  -2  </em>

In a sample of 53 walking canes, the average length was found to be 34.3in. with a variance of 1.9. Give a point estimate for th
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

1.38

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate for the population standard deviation of the length of the walking canes is given as the squareroot of variance. Since variance is provided as 1.9 then the standard deviation will be

\sqrt 1.9=1.37840487520902\approx 1.38

Therefore, rounded off to two decimal places, the standard deviation is approximately 1.38

What is the value of x if e3x+6=8
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

x = 1/3 ln(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

e^(3x)+6=8

Subtract 6 from each side

e^(3x)+6-6=8-6

e^(3x) = 2

Take the natural log of each side

ln (e ^3x) = ln (2)

3x = ln(2)

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 1/3 ln(2)

x = 1/3 ln(2)
