Answer:

q= -2.584

Step-by-step explanation:

(0.52)^q = 4.

We exponent are written in compound forms, having a different base, we solve such taking the logs of both sides of the equation.

(0.52)^q = 4

We take the log of both sides!

q * log 0.52 = log 4.

q * -0.284 = 0.602

Divide through by -0.233

q = 0.602/ - 0.233

q = -2.584

Answer:

           q\approx-2.12

Explanation:

The exponent of 0.52 is not 9 but q. Thus, you need so solve the equattion to find the value of the exponent, q.

To solve exponential equations with different bases, you must use logarithms, which is the inverse function of exponentiation:

        0.52^q=4\\\\\log (0.52^q)=\log 4\\\\q\log 0.52=\log 4\\\\\\q=\dfrac{\log 4}{\log 0.52}\\\\\\q\approx-2.12

Jefferson Elementary has a rectangular playground. A scale drawing of the playground is shown below.
True [87]

I'm sorry if I get this wrong, but there isn't enough evidence.

If we think about the shorter side being 4.2 cm, then just divide 33.6 by 4.2 to give it a ratio. 33.6 / 4.2 is 8. The ratio of the scale drawing to the actual playground would be 1 : 8.

The longer side is 10.5, so just multiply that by 8. You'd get 84 meters. The only part left is getting the area.

Multiply 84 x 33.6 and you'd get 2822.4

The answer would be 2,822.4 squared.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

<em>$6.06</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Edward: 36.00*0.87=31.32

Chad 36.00*0.71=25.25

31.32-25.25=6.06

<em>$6.06</em>

A lottery game has balls numbered 1 through 21. What is the probability of selecting an even numbered ball or an 8? Round to nea
Viktor [21]

Answer: 0.476

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = Event of choosing an even number ball.

B = Event of choosing an 8 .

Given, A lottery game has balls numbered 1 through 21.

Sample space: S= {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,...., 21}

n(S) = 21

Then, A= {2,4,6,8, 10,...(20)}

i.e. n(A)= 10

B= {8}

n(B) = 1

A∪B = {2,4,6,8, 10,...(20)} = A

n(A∪B)=10

Now, the probability of selecting an even numbered ball or an 8 is

P(A\cup B)=\dfrac{n(A\cup B)}{n(S)}

=\dfrac{10}{21}\approx0.476

Hence, the required probability =0.476
