Step-by-step explanation:
log <base a> b = x
means
a^x = b
So
3^2 = x^2+7x+21
x^2 + 7x + 21 - 9 = 0
x^2 + 7x + 12 = 0
(x+3)(x+4)
x = -3 or -4
Answer:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 * 10^7 You are to use a single digit. That's the 2 on the left. Then count what it takes to get the decimal between the 2 and the 3. It's 7
0.000136
Count the number of zeros. Add a minus 1. You want the number to be counted until you get minus 1 which is the number of powers after the 1.
1 * 10^-4
26837 becomes 2 * 10^4. 4 is the number of digits you have before you get to a number between 1 and 10.
0.0302 becomes 3 * 10^-(1 + 1) = 3 * 10^-2
Since we are rounding to the nearest inch, we want to look at the tenths place. The rule for rounding is 5 and up, we round up, 4 and below, stay. Since 3 is below 5, we stay. Therefore your answer should be 66 inches of precipitation. Hope this helps!
