The third story, to get area you have to multiply length times width
Answer:
- x = log(y/4)/log(1.0256)
- your answer for y=12 is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking you to solve ...
y = f(x)
for x. (In other words, find the inverse function.)
You already did this using a constant for y. Do the same thing with y instead of the constant.
y = 4(1.0256^x)
y/4 = 1.0256^x . . . . . . . divide by 4
log(y/4) = x·log(1.0256) . . . . . take logs
log(y/4)/log(1.0256) = x . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Now, you have a model for x in terms of y, which is what the question is asking for.
x = log(y/4)/log(1.0256) . . . . . . . exact expression
When y=12, this is ...
x = log(12/4)/log(1.0256) ≈ 43.46 . . . . weeks
_____
This is a linear equation in log(y), so can be written as such:
x = 91.0912·log(y) -54.8424 . . . . . approximate expression
4.41 ounces. 1.5 +2.25 + .66=4.41. You just multiply the faction by the number and add it all up.
Are you able to expand everything first? from there you would be able to combine line terms. basically if you have 3x+2x it would combine to 5x because they have x in them.
