What is the value of x in the following equation 1/5x=5^8 A)-8 B) 8 C)40 D)-40

1 answer:

The correct question is
What is the value of x in the following equation (1/5)^x=5^8

Applying logarithms both members
log(1/5)^x=log(5^8)
x*log(1/5)=8*log(5)
x=8*log(5)/log(1/5)

we know that
log (1/5)----> log (1)-log (5)----> 0-log (5)-----> -log (5)
so
x=8*log(5)/-log (5)------> x=-8

the answer is
-8

Solve ln 2 + ln x = 5 . Round to the nearest thousandth, if necessary. show work please

Paraphin [41]

$\ln 2 + \ln x = 5\\\\\implies \ln(2x) = 5\\\\\implies 2x = e^5\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{e^5}2 = 74.207$

Identify the equation that describes the line in slope-intercept form. slope = 2 , point (- 1, 2) is on the line

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

$y=2x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a slope and a point on the line, you can use point slope form and then rearrage your terms into slope-intercept form

SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM: $y=mx+b$ , where "m" is your slope and "b" is your y-intercept
POINT-SLOPE FORM: $(y-y_{1}) =m(x-x_{1})$ , where $y_{1}$ represents the y-coordinate of your point, $x_{1}$ represents the x-coordinate of your point, and $m$ represents the slope

$(y-2)= 2(x-(-1))$

Point-slope form

$(y-2)=2(x+1)$

$y-2=2x+2$

$y=2x+4$

Slope-intercept form
