Use the definition of the logarithmic function to find x. log4 0.25=x x=?

1 answer:

5 0

The answer is -1.

$log_4(0.25) =log_4( \frac{1}{4})= log_4(4^{-1} ) \\ \\ 
log(x^{a} ) = a*log(x) \\ \\ 
log_4(4^{-1} )= -1 *log_4(4) \\ \\ 
log_y(x) = \frac{log(x)}{log(y)} \\ \\ 
-1 *log_4(4) = -1* \frac{log(4)}{log(4)} = -1$

Learning the basics 6.23 suppose you select one value from a uniform distribution with a=0and b=10.what is the probability that

IgorC [24]

The area under the graph of the continuous uniform distribution is 1.
a. The probability that the value will be between 5 and 7 is the area between 5 and 7.
$P(5 \ \textless \ x \ \textless \ 7) = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}$
b. The probability that the value will be between 2 and 3 is the are between 2 and 3.
$P(2 \ \textless \ x \ \textless \ 3)=\frac{1}{10}$
c. The mean is given by:
$\mu=\frac{a+b}{2}=\frac{0+10}{2}=5$
d. The variance is given by:
$\sigma^2}=\frac{1}{12}(b-a)^{2}=\frac{1}{12}(10)^{2}=8.3333$
The standard deviation is:
$\sqrt{\sigma} = \sqrt{8.3333} =2.887$

The diagram shows a row of four identical tiles, each in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. What is the area of one tile?

VMariaS [17]

I saw the image that accompanied this problem.

4 identical isosceles trapezoid forming 2 parallelogram.
1 parallelogram has a base of 16 inches and its height is 10 inches.

We need to get the area of the parallelogram and multiply it by 2 before dividing it into 4 to get the area of each isosceles trapezoid.

Area of a parallelogram = base * height
A = 16 in x 10 in = 160 in²

160 in² x 2 parallelogram = 320 in²
320 in² / 4 tiles = 80 in²

The area of one tile is 80 square inches.
