<h2>Answer:y=12+2.25x,$23.25</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that $ $12$ is charged for admission.

It is given that $ $2.25$ is charged for each pound of peaches picked.

So,cost for $x$ peaches is $2.25x$

The total cost of admission and picking $x$ peaches is $12+2.25x$

When $x=5$ ,

total cost is $12+2.25(5)=12+11.25=23.25$

So,it costs $ $23.25$ for admission and picking $5$ peaches.

Rewrite the following equation in log form: 2^2 = 4

Finger [1]

We have to write

$2^2 =4$

In log form

To convert exponential equation to log equation, we have to use the following rule $If \ a^b = c, \ then \ b=log_{a} c$

So we will get

$If \ 2^2 =4, \ then \ 2 = log_{2} 4$

or

$log_{2}4=2$

And that's the required log form .

Given a function <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D3x%5E4-5x%5E2%2B2x-3" id="TexFormula1" title="f(x)=3x^4-5x^2+2x-3"

Levart [38]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{f(-1) = -7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve for this function, we need to substitute in our value of x inside to find f(x). Since we are trying to evalue f(-1), we will substitute -1 in as x to our equation.

$f(-1) = 3(-1)^4 - 5(-1)^2 + 2(-1) - 3$

Now we can solve for the function by multiplying/subtracting/adding our known values.

Starting with the first term to the last term:

$3(-1)^4 = 3$

<u><em>WAIT</em></u><em>!</em><em> How is this possible? </em> $-1^4 = -1$ (according to my calculator), and $3 \cdot -1 = -3$ , not 3!

It's important to note that taking a power of a negative number and multiplying a negative number are two different things. Let's use $-2^2$ as an example.

What your calculator did was follow BEMDAS since it wasn't explicitly told not to.

BEMDAS:

- Brackets

- Exponents

- Multiplication/Division

- Addition/Subtraction

Examining the equation, your calculator used this rule properly. Note that exponents come over multiplication.

So rather than being <em>"-2 squared"</em> - it's <em>"the negative of of 2 squared."</em>

Tying this back into our problem, the squared method would only be true if it looks like $-1^4$ . However, since we're substituting in -1, it looks like $(-1)^4$ , so the expression reads out as "<u><em>-1 to the fourth.</em></u>"

MULTIPLYING -1 by itself 4 times results in $-1\cdot-1\cdot-1\cdot-1=1$ .

Applying this logic to our original term, $3(-1)^4$ :

$3(-1\cdot-1\cdot-1\cdot-1)$
$3(1)$
$3$

Therefore, our first term is 3.

Let's move on to our second and third terms.

Second term: $-5x^2$

$-5(-1)^2$

Applying the same logic from our first term:

$-5(-1 \cdot -1)$
$-5(1)$
$-5$

Third term: $2x$

$2(-1) = -2$

-3 is just -3, no influence of x.

Combining our terms, we have $3-5-2-3$ .

This comes out to be -7, hence, the value of $f(-1)$ for our function $f(x)=3x^4-5x^2+2x-3$ is <u>-7</u>.

Hope this helped!
