Answer:

a = -4, b = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

P(2) = 0

= 4a +2b = -10

P(4) = 6

= 16a + 4b = -52

16a + 4b = -52 - 8a + 4b = -20

= 8a = -32

a = -4

b = -3

Dimas [21]

Answer: $ 4,515

Step-by-step explanation:

$\\$ The cost of the car she wanted to buy = $35,550

$\\$ Her savings = $20,700

$\\$ That means she needs( $35,550 - $20,700) more in order for her to buy the car.

$\\$ Amount borrowed from the finance company = $35,550 - $20,700

$\\$ = $ 14,850

$\\$ Since she now owes the financial company a total of $19,365, then the interest accrued by the loan she borrowed is given by:

$\\$ $19,365 - $ 14,850

$\\$ = $4,515

What is the solution of log2x − 3125 = 3? (1 point)

gladu [14]

We have been asked to find the solution of

${Log_{(2x-3)}}^{125}=3\\ \\ \text{we can re-write after Removing logarithm as below}\\ \\ (2x-3)^3=125\\ \\ (2x-3)^3=5^3\\ \\ \text{Now take cubed root on both the sides we get}\\ \\ 2x-3=5\\ \\ \text{Add 3 on both the sides we get}\\ \\ 2x=8\\ \\ \text{Divide both the sides by 2 we get}\\ \\ x=4$
