<span>52 can be broken down to the following
2*26 =52
2*(2*13) <---13 x 2=26 x 2=52
2*2*13 or 2^2*13 <--BOTH mean the same thing :) </span><span>
</span>
X^2-9x=-8
x^2-9x+8=-8+8
x^2-9x+8=0
(x-8)(x-1)=0
x-8=0
x-8+8=0+8
x=8
x-1=0
x-1+1=0+1
x=1
There are 2 solutions, which are 1 and 8
<span>Use a proportion:
x/(5 1/2) = 50/4
--------
x = (11/2)(50/4)
--------
x = 550/8
----
x = $68.75</span>
<span>The <u>correct answer</u> is:
B) 3log</span>₅<span>(x-4).
Explanation<span>:
To stretch a function by a factor of 3, we multiply the function by 3. This eliminates A and D.
To translate a function 4 units right, we add -4 to the variable before anything else is applied to it; this eliminates C.
In choice B, the log function is multiplied by 3, which gives us our vertical stretch; and the x is subtracted by 4 before anything else is applied to it, so it is translated 4 units right.</span></span>
