Step-by-step explanation:

2^(2x) - 5(2^x) = -4

(2^x)^2 - 5(2^x) = -4

Substitute 2^x = z --> x = ln(z)/ln(2)

z^2 - 5z = -4

z^2 - 5z + 4 = 0

(z - 1)(z - 4) = 0

z = 1 --> x = ln(1)/ln(2) = 0

z = 4 --> x = ln(4)/ln(2) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Question

Lisa lit a candle with a height of 8 inches. When lit, this candle loses 10% of its original height every hour.
Please complete the following sentence by writing the number in the blank. Until the candle has been burning for at least _______ hours, the height of Jennifer's candle will be more than 7 inches.

Candle looses 10% of 8 inches, it equals:

8*0.1 = 0.8 inches an hour

Let x be required time, then:

8 - 0.8x > 7
0.8x < 8 - 7
0.8x < 1
x < 1/0.8
x < 1.25
or 1 hour 15 minutes
