Find the exact solution to the equation.320 x (1/4)^x/4=5

Mathematics
1 answer:
LekaFEV [45]3 years ago

Answer:

  • none of the above (as written)
  • x = 12 (as interpreted)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation written has two solutions, neither of which is among those listed. There are no algebraic means for solving it, but solutions can be found graphically and by iteration.

  \dfrac{320x\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^x}{4}=5\\\\16x\cdot 4^{-x}=1

With a little more manipulation, this becomes ...

  4^{x-2}-x=0

It has solutions near x= 0.069 and x = 2.722.

____

It looks like you may want your equation to be interpreted to be ...

  320\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{\dfrac{x}{4}}=5\\\\64\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{\dfrac{x}{4}}=1\\\\\log{(64)}-\dfrac{x}{4}\log{4}=0 \quad\text{take logs}\\\\\left(3-\dfrac{x}{4}\right)\log{4}=0 \quad\text{use $64=4^3$}\\\\12-x=0 \quad\text{multiply by 4, divide by $\log{4}$}

The exact solution to this interpretation of the problem is x = 12.

The measurement of a central angle is 75. Find the measurement of <br> in radians
Marina CMI [18]
Circumference = 360 degrees 
<span>Circumference = 2π radians (comes from 2*pi*radius) </span>

<span>Therefore </span>
<span>360 deg. = 2*π radians </span>
<span>180 deg. = π radians </span>
<span>1 deg. = (π/180) radians </span>

<span>75 deg. = 75(π/180) radians </span>
<span>75 deg. = 75π / 180 radians </span>
<span>don't bother to try and simplify π (it is an irrational number) </span>
<span>however you can simplify 75/180 </span>
<span>both are divisible by 5 </span>
<span>75π/180 = 15π/36 </span>
<span>both are divisible by 3 </span>
<span>75 deg. = 5π/12 radians </span>

<span>We normally don't bother to go further, unless you actually need it as a decimal fraction (in which case, you will have an approximation) </span>

<span>75 deg. ≈ 1.308997 radians</span>

Express the ratio as a fraction in it's lowest terms.3kg to 800g​
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

15 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kg = 1000 g

3 kg

= 3 x 1000

= 3000 g

3kg to 800g

= 3kg : 800g

= 3000 : 800

= 30 : 8

= 30 / 8

= 15 / 4
