I read this as -5e⁻⁴ˣ⁺²+3=½log₁₀(x²+1).
If this is not right the steps below can guide you to a possible solution when the correct formula is used.
My calculator is a Casio fx-85GT PLUS which has a function facility (MODE 3: TABLE).
I input the function: -5e⁻⁴ˣ⁺²+3-½log₁₀(x²+1). I assumed that log was log to base 10 rather than natural log ln.
The facility asks me to input a start value, end value and step value. I chose -10, 10 and 1 initially.
After a few seconds of evaluating a table of results the calculator showed me the results of plugging in x=-10 up to 10 in steps of 1.
The results showed the evaluation for each of the 21 values and I looked for the sign of the result to change.
For x=0 the result was -33.95 approx and for x=1 it was 2.1728 approx. So between 0 and 1 there is a zero, a solution for x.
I returned to the function and changed the parameters to start=0, end=1, step=0.1 to begin the next evaluation.
This time the sign change occurred between x=0.6 and 0.7.
I returned to the function with parameters: start=0.6, end=0.7, step=0.01.
The sign change occurred between 0.63 and 0.64, the start and end parameters with step=0.001 for the next iteration.
The solution is between 0.633 and 0.634.
Repeat the process one more time with step=0.0001. The sign change was between 0.6338 and 0.6339 so the solution to three dec places is 0.634.

Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation x^2+x-30=12
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Due to there being no negatives in this equation, you can pretty much just eliminate the first 3 answers.


However in working out, here is what I did.

x^2 + x - 30 = 12 (+30) 

= x^2 + x = 42


Then you can conclude that the answer is D, due to 6 x 6 = 36, plus 7 equaling 42.

The circle shown below has AB and BC as its tangents: AB and BC are two tangents to a circle which intersect outside the circle
Nadusha1986 [10]
We are given with
arc AC = 130
The measure of the arc on the other side of the circle is
360 - 130 = 230
Therefore, according to the theorem on circles, the measure of angle ABC is 
(1/2) ( 230 - 130) = 50
