Solve 4^x-5 = 6 for x using the change of base formula log base b of y equals log y over log b

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ronch [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

4^x-5=6 gives the solution x=\frac{\log(11)}{\log(4)}.

4^{x-5}=6 gives the solution x=\frac{\log(6)}{\log(4)}+5.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will solve both interpretations.

If we assume the equation is 4^{x}-5=6, then the following is the process:

4^x-5=6

Add 5 on both sides:

4^x=6+5

Simplify:

4^x=11

Now write an equivalent logarithm form:

\log_4(11)=x

x=\log_4(11)

Now using the change of base:

x=\frac{\log(11)}{\log(4)}.

If we assume the equation is 4^{x-5}=6, then we use the following process:

4^{x-5}=6

Write an equivalent logarithm form:

\log_4(6)=x-5

x-5=\log_4(6)

Add 5 on both sides:

x=\log_4(6)+5

Use change of base formula:

x=\frac{\log(6)}{\log(4)}+5

The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 units and its width is 6.5 units
IgorC [24]
Since you technically didn't ask for anything to be solved for, this problem is now solved. Since these types of problems are normally solving for legnth if width is given and vice versa, I will solve for legnth.

perimiter=legnth+legnth+width+width or
p=l+l+w+w
p=2l+2w
subsitute w=6.5 and p=34
34=2l+2(6.5)
34=2l+13
subtract 13 from both sides
21=2l
divide by 2
10.5=l

legnth=10.5 units

A person jogged 10 times along the perimeter of a rectangular field at the rate of 12 kilometers per hour for 30 minutes. If fie
balu736 [363]

Answer:

20,000m²

Step-by-step explanation:

If they jog 12 km/h for half an hour, they have covered.

12 X 0.5 = 6km in 10 circuits. Making 1 perimeter

6 / 10 =0.6 km (600 m).

To determine area we need to convert this perimeter to length and width. We know that it is a rectangle, with 2 equal widths and 2 equal lengths, and the length is twice the width.

So L = 2W

Perimeter = 2W + 2L

600 m = 2W + 2(2W)

600 m = 6W

W = 100 m

L = 200 m

Area = 100 X 200 = 20,000 m²

Which one doesn’t belong??
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

40% OR -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

It could be 40% as all the other numbers are in fraction form while this one is written as a percent.

It could also be -1/4 because that is the only negative number.
