<span>If two terms in a binomial are perfect squares separated by subtraction, then you canfactor them. To factor the difference of two perfect squares, remember this rule: if subtraction separates two squared terms, then the sum and the difference of the twosquare roots factor the binomial.</span>
The answer to 3/4x2/5 is 3/10
The equation to be solved is: 3 [ 2 ^ (2t - 5) ] - 4 = 10
The steps are:
1) transpose - 4=> 3 [ 2^ (2t - 5) ] = 10 + 4
2) Combine like terms => 3 [2^ (2t - 5) ] = 14
3) Divide both terms by 3 => 2^ (2t - 5) = 14 / 3
4) Take logarithms of both sides => (2t - 5) log (2) = log (14/3)
5) Divide both sides by log (2) =>
log (14/3)
2t - 5 = -------------------
log (2)
6) transpose - 5+>
log (14/3)
2t = ------------------- + 5 = 2.22 + 5
log (2)
2t = 7.22
7) divide both sides by 2 => t = 7.22 / 2 = 3.61
The unit rate should be 0.85 cents since, 3.40 divided by 4 equals 0.85. Hope this helps and have a nice day!
