During a 5-year period, 32% of snowstorms in a certain city caused power outage Fifty-one of the snowstorms did not cause powe
r outages. Find the total number of snowstorms in this city over the 5-year period.

To answer this question you will consider that if 32% of the storms did cause outages, then 100% (all of them)-32%= 68% did NOT produce a power outage. We can say that 68% of the total is 51.
This can be written as 0.68 x = 51 where x is the total number of snowstorms. Divide both sides by 0.68 to solve for x. X = 75 snowstorms. Another way to do this is to use Ratios. See the attached page for the strategy.

You could apply a clever Algebra trick to avoid using the quotient rule,
and apply power rule into chain rule from that point.
But this problem was likely designed to teach you about quotient rule so let's do it that way.
Let's start by "setting up" our quotient rule:
If this log notation is not intended to be natural log, then we'll have a little bit of extra work. Our change of base identity allows us to rewrite log base 10 in terms of the natural log,
so let's apply this to our problem,
Derivative of ln(x) gives us 1/x in each case,
Factor the 1/(x ln10) out of each term in the numerator,
and combine like-terms,
Lemme know if you're confused with any of the steps.

Answer:
The answer is 6 and -6
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
where a = 1. b = -k, c = a
since the equation (1) has equal roots
Hence volume of k = 6, -6
