Answer:
- x = log(y/4)/log(1.0256)
- your answer for y=12 is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking you to solve ...
y = f(x)
for x. (In other words, find the inverse function.)
You already did this using a constant for y. Do the same thing with y instead of the constant.
y = 4(1.0256^x)
y/4 = 1.0256^x . . . . . . . divide by 4
log(y/4) = x·log(1.0256) . . . . . take logs
log(y/4)/log(1.0256) = x . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Now, you have a model for x in terms of y, which is what the question is asking for.
x = log(y/4)/log(1.0256) . . . . . . . exact expression
When y=12, this is ...
x = log(12/4)/log(1.0256) ≈ 43.46 . . . . weeks
_____
This is a linear equation in log(y), so can be written as such:
x = 91.0912·log(y) -54.8424 . . . . . approximate expression
The answer to the questions is 27
Considering that each input is related to only one output, the correct option regarding whether the relation is a function is:
A. yes.
<h3>When does a relation represent a function?</h3>
A relation represents a function when each value of the input is mapped to only one value of the output.
For this problem, we have that:
- The output is an activity.
There are no repeated inputs, hence the relation is a function and option A is correct.

A.
(7^2)^x = 1
(49)^x = 1
thus x = 0
B.
<span>(7^0)^x=1
(1)^x = 1
thus x can be any real number.
