Solve 9^x + 4 = 11 for x using the change of base formula log base b of y equals log y over log b.

Answer:

If you meant 9^x+4=11, then the answer is approximately 0.866.

If you meant 9^{x+4}=11, then the answer is approximately -2.909 which looks like what you meant based on the choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

9^x+4=11

First step is to get the exponential part by itself. The part that has the variable exponent which is the 9^x term.

To do this we need to subtract 4 on both sides:

9^x=11-4

Simplify:

9^x=7

The equivalent logarithmic form is:

\log_9(7)=x

I always say to myself the logarithm is the exponent that is how I know what to put opposite the side containing the log.

Anyways if you don't have options for computing \log_b(a) in your calculator you need to use the change of base formula.

\frac{\log(7)}{\log(9)}=x

So x \approx 0.8856

I don't see this as a choice so maybe you actually meant the following equation:

9^{x+4}=11

Let's see if this is the correct interpretation.

So the exponential part is already isolated.

So we just need to put in the equivalent logarithmic form:

\log_9(11)=x+4

Now we subtract 4 on both sides:

\log_9(11)-4=x

Again if you don't have the option for computing \log_b(a) in your calculator, you will have to use the change of base formula:

\frac{\log(11)}{\log(9)}-4=x

x \approx -2.909

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations for eq 1 which is 3x + y = 118 represents the Green High School which filled three buses(with a specific number of students identified as x) and a van(with a specific number of students identified as y) with a total of 118 students.

for eq 2; 4x + 2y = 164; represents Belle High School which filled four buses(with a specific number of students identified as x) and two vans(with a specific number of students identified as y) with a total of 164 students.

The solution represents the specific number of students in the buses and vans in eq1 and eq 2 with x being 36 students and y being 10 students.

substituting 36 for x and 10 for y in eq 1;

3(36) + 10 = 108 + 10 = 118 total students for Green High School

substituting 36 for x and 10 for y in eq2;

4(36) + 2(10) = 144 + 20 = 164 total students for Belle High school

Help me i think it’s c

Answer: Graph B

=====================================================

Explanation:

Point A appears to be at (2.5, -1)

If we shift 6 units to the left, then we subtract 6 from the x coordinate. So the new x coordinate is now 2.5-6 = -3.5

If we shift 4 units up, then we add 4 to the y coordinate to go from -1 to -1+4 = 3

Overall, the point A(2.5, -1) moves to A'(-3.5, 3)

Graph B is the answer because of this. The other points B and C will follow the same pattern as point A does.

Nicholas wrote the steps below to
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

He does not divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number. Nicholas divides 20 by 5 and 30 by 6. He ought to have divided 30 by 5 as well and then simplified.

P.S. Nicholas should have just divided both 20 and 30 by 10 to simplify in one step
