Answer:
no, it's not.
Step-by-step explanation:
300- 284 = 16
284 - 236 = 48
236 - 156 = 80
156 - 44 = 112
for every one the top line goes up, the bottom line changes too, but it's not at a constant rate. it's not constant, therefore it cannot be linear.
the rate of change formula (or slope formula, they're the same thing) is :
y2- y1/ x2 -x1 and to solve it you plug in the points. x is the same a t and y is h
284-300/ 1-0
-16 /1
-16 (this is the rate of change between the first two points)
236- 284/ 2-1
-48/ 1
-48 (rate of change between the second and third points)
since the rate of change isn't constant, it's not possible for it to be a linear relationship.
Answer:
The answer should be -124.
log was used calculate big numbers before calculators
log is a re-arranged way to show a number with an exponent
example
log₂ 16 = 4 means 2^4 = 16
logx(Z) = y means x^y=Z
log(x-6)/log(2) + log(x)/log(2) = 4
(log(x-6)+ log(x))/log(2) = 4
(log(x-6)+ log(x)) = 4log(2)
(log(x-6)x) = log(16)
x=8
