You can convert (1/625) to an exponent, and it would be ideal to have 5 as the base of it because you want your log base to cancel it out. what i usually do in this case is just test out 5^1, 5^2, etc until i find one that matches the number i need. in this case because the number you're trying to work with is a small fraction, you'll want to use NEGATIVE exponents so it'll create a fraction instead of a large whole number:
5^-1 = 1/5
. . . keep trying those. . .
5^-4 = 1/625
so, because they're equal to one another, it'll be waaay easier after you substitute 5^-4 in place of 1/625
x = log₅ 5⁻⁴
log base 5 of 5 simplifies to 1. subbing in the 5^-4 gets rid of the log for you altogether, and your -4 exponent drops down:
x = -4 is your answer
if the exponent dropping down doesn't make sense to you, you can think of it in another way:
x = log₅ 5⁻⁴
expand the expression so that the exponent moves in front of the log function:
x = (-4) log₅ 5
then, still, log base 5 of 5 simplifies to 1, so you're left with:
x = (-4)1 or x = -4
Hey there!
You got the first part right where you added r to both sides. However, you need to make sure that you complete all actions on both sides, including canceling out parts of terms by division. The only thing you need to do is divide both sides by h instead of just the left. This will make your answer:
Hope this helped you out! :-)
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a² + b² = 68
a3 + b3 = 520
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
a + b = 10 (1)
ab = 16 (2)
A. Find a² + b²
(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² (3)
Substitutite the values of (1) and (2) into (3)
(10)² = a² + 2(16) + b²
100 = a² + 32 + b²
Subtract 32 from both sides
100 - 32 = a² + b²
a² + b² = 68
B. a^3 + b^3
(a + b)^3 = a^3 + b^3 + 3ab(a + b)
(10)^3 = a^3 + b^3 + 3*16(10)
1000 = a^3 + b^3 + 480
a^3 + b^3 = 1000 - 480
a3 + b3 = 520
