$log_{x}(1/8)=-3/2$

This is equal to...

$x^{-3/2}=1/8$

We want "x" so we need to isolate it using laws of exponents...

$x^{(-1)(3/2)}=1/8$

$x^{3/2}=8$ because $x^{-a}=1/x^{a}$

$x=\sqrt[3]{8^{2}}$ because $x^{a/b}=\sqrt[b]{x^{a}}$

x = 4

answer: B

Find X, Y, Z, (I believe X is 12?)

Serggg [28]

Answer:

x = 12 y = 24 z = 12 $\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

you are correct. x = 12

The dotted line has a length of 12 also

The dotted line is the shorter leg of the 30-60-90 triangle.

So, z = 12 $\sqrt{3}$ and y = 24

The graph shows the system y=2x+1 y=2x^2+1 Which ordered pairs are solutions of the system?

zhenek [66]

Hey!

To solve this problem, we would really have to graph both equations.

OPEN THE FIRST IMAGE

The first image I provided was the image of this equation graphed: y=2x+1

OPEN THE SECOND IMAGE

The second image I provided was the image of this equation graphed: y=2x^2+1

PLEASE DO NOT LOOK AT THE THIRD IMAGE YET!

The first image has two points. One at ( -0.5, 0 ) and the other at ( 0, 1 ).

The second image has only one point, which is at ( 0, 1 ).

OPEN THE THIRD IMAGE

Now, when both are combined we see that they intersect at two points, which are ( 0, 1 ) and ( 1, 3 ).

So, our answer is...

The ordered pairs that are the solution to the system are ( 0,1 ) and ( 1,3 ).

Hope this helped!
