Answer:
1) x=0.465
2) option A.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The given equation is:
We rewrite this as logarithm to get:
The change of base formula is:
We apply the change of base formula on the RHS to get:
Group similar terms:
2)
From the graph, the logarithmic function approaches negative infinity as x approaches -6.
Therefore the vertical asymptote is x=-6
The graph touches the x-axis at x=-5, therefore the x-intercept is x=-5.
The correct answer is A.
