9^x=1/3 How much is x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kumpel [21]3 years ago

Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by applying the laws of indices

In a^n, a - base

n - index

Given

9^x = 1/3

According to the laws of indices, a/b = b^(-a)

Hence we can write, 1/3 = 3^(-1)

9^x = 3^(2x)

Again according to the laws of indices,

a^b = a^n can be written as;

b = n

That is, if in an equation the bases are the same, the indices are also equal.

So we can write,

3^(2x) = 3^(-1)

2x = -1

Divide both sides of the equation by 2, the coefficient of x

2x/2 = -1/2

x = -1/2

What is the value of the expression 50 - (5 + 2)2 + 6?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

I believe it's 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Replace each letter in the expression with the assigned value.

First, replace each letter in the expression with the value that has been assigned to it. To make your calculations clear and avoid mistakes, always enclose the numbers you're substituting inside parentheses. The value that's given to a variable stays the same throughout the entire problem, even if the letter occurs more than once in the expression.

However, since variables "vary", the value assigned to a particular variable can change from problem to problem, just not within a single problem.

Perform the operations in the expression using the correct order of operations.

Once you've substituted the value for the letter, do the operations to find the value of the expression.

Solve for x does anyone know how to do this?​
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 4 angles in a quadrilateral = 360°

Sum the given angles and equate to 360

90 + 109 + 9x - 5 + 85 = 360, that is

9x + 279 = 360 ( subtract 279 from both sides )

9x = 81 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 9
