How do I solve for x in the equation 5^x=3125? Also in 5^x=1/125, 9^x=243, 4^x=1/32, and 3*2^x=96?

Remember
if x^m=x^n and x=x, m=n
also
x^-m=1/(x^m)
(x^m)^n=x^(mn)

try to match bases

5^x=3125
5^x=5^5
x=5

5^x=1/125
1/125=1/(5^3)=5^-3
5^x=5^-3
x=-3


9^x=234
3^(2x)=3^5
2x=5
x=2.5


4^x=1/32
1/32=1/(2^5)=2^-5
2^(2x)=2^-5
2x=-5
x=-2.5


3*2^x=96
first divide both sides by 3
2^x=32
2^x=2^5
x=5




5^x=3125
x=5

5^x=1/125
x=-3


9^x=234
x=2.5

4^x=1/32
x=-2.5

3*2^x=96
x=5

5^x=1/125

Take log of both sides

log(5^x)=log(1/125)

x*(log(5))= log(1/125)

x= log(1/125)/ log(25)

x=-3


9^x= 243

Take log of both sides


log(9^x)= log(243)

x*(log(9))= log(243)

x= log(243)/ log(9)

x= 2.5


4^x= 1/32

Take log of

log(4^x)=log(1/32)

x*(log(4))=log(1/32)

x= log(1/32)/log(4)

x= -2.5


3*2^x=96

Divide both sides by 3 so we can make it more simply

3(2^x)/3= 96/3

2^x= 32

Take log of

log(2^X)=log(32)

x(log(2))= log(32)

x= log(32)/log(2)

x=5


As you can see, I only used a simple way for all of them.

Please i need some help on this question
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

1) For 3 tickets, the cost is $12

2) For 5 tickets, the cost is $20

3) $28 can purchase 7 tickets

4) For 10 tickets, the cost is $40

Step-by-step explanation:

1) For 3 tickets

8 = 2

x = 3

(8 ÷ x) = (2 ÷ 3)

Cross multiply,

2x = 8 x 3

2x = 24

x = 24 ÷ 2

x = $12

Use the same principle for the other questions. Use X (or any other variable) to represent the missing value, I e. the value you are calculating.

I hope this helps.

A tank currently holds 5 gallons of water. It is being filled at the rate of 1/4 gallon per minute. How long will it take for th
Verdich [7]
So we know the tank already has 5 gallons and we need 9. This means we need 4 more gallons in order to fill up the tank.

If 1/4 gallon is being filled per minute we need to find out how many 1/4 gallons makes up 4 gallons in total.

4 of the 1/4 gallons makes up 1 whole gallon. So since we need 4 whole gallons we would need 16 of the 1/4 gallons.

This means that it will take 16 minutes for the tank to hold 9 gallons of water.

How would I figure out a linear equation with two plot points with fractions? (1/3(6),3) and (1/2(19),-2) are my two plot points
murzikaleks [220]

Answer: m=\frac{-30}{79},\ y=5.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points are \left(6\frac{1}{3},3\right),\ \left(19\frac{1}{2},-2\right)

Convert mixed numeral to fraction

\left(6\frac{1}{3},3\right)\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{19}{3},3\right)\\\\\left(19\frac{1}{2},-2\right)\Rightarrow \left(\dfrac{39}{2},-2\right)

Slope of the line is

\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{3-(-2)}{\dfrac{19}{3}-\dfrac{39}{2}}\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{5}{\dfrac{38-117}{6}}\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{-30}{79}

Equation of line

\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-3}{x-\dfrac{19}{3}}=\dfrac{-30}{79}\\\\\text{for y-intercept, put x=0}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{y-3}{0-\dfrac{19}{3}}=\dfrac{-30}{79}\\\\\Rightarrow y-3=\dfrac{190}{79}\\\\\Rightarrow y=3+2.40\\\Rightarrow y=5.40
