Solve 13^x+2=5 having a bit of trouble

<em>Solve: </em>13^{x} + 2 = 5

Start by isolating the x-variable as much as you can:
13^{x} = 5 - 2 = 3
13^{x} = 3

Now, if we take the log with base 13 of both sides, then the left hand side will cancel out really easily. This is based on the concept of inverse operations. For example, when we take the square of a square root, we get our initial value. This is because the two operations are inverses of each other, and basically undoes each other.

Logarithms and exponentials are the inverse operations of each other. If we want to extrapolate the power of an exponential, we take the logarithmic function of it, and vice versa.

In this case, we are saying what power of '13' will produce us with 13ˣ, and the only answer will be x itself.

log_{13}(13^{x}) = log_{13}(3)
x = log_{13}(3)

What is 4.125 to the nearest whole number?
Elis [28]
When you are rounding numbers, if the integer to the right is <5, then you keep your rounding number.  If it is >5, then you add 1 place value to your rounding number.

Therefore, if you are trying to round 4.125 to the nearest whole number, you are trying to round it to the ones place, or where the 4 is.  
Because 1<5, 4.125 rounded to the nearest whole number is 4.

The least common denominator of two fractions is 20. If you subtract the two denominations, you get 1. What are the denominators
LekaFEV [45]
Steps
find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (which is called the Least Common Denominator).

Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator.

Then add (or subtract) the fractions, as we wish!
your denominators stay the same so its 20

Polygon ABCD is defined by the points A(-4,2) B(-2, 4), C(1, 3) &amp; D(2,2). Match the coordinates of the points of the transfo
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

D'(-2, 2); C''(3, -1); A'''(4, -2); and B''(4, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for the figure.

<u>For D'</u>, rotating the point (2, 2) 90° counterclockwise. This maps each point (x, y)→(-y, x); it takes (2, 2)→(-2, 2).  

For C'', rotating the point (1, 3) 90° clockwise.  This maps each point (x, y)→(y, -x); it takes (1, 3)→(3, -1).

For A''', rotating the point (-4, 2) 180° clockwise.  This maps every point (x, y)→(-x, -y); it takes (-4, 2)→(4, -2).

For B'', rotating the point (-2, 4) 270° counterclockwise.  This is the similar as rotating the point 90° clockwise.  This maps every point (x, y)→(y, -x); it takes (-2, 4)→(4, 2).
