If 12^-x=5, what does 12^2x equal

Mathematics

Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

0.04

Step-by-step explanation:

12^(-x) = 5 (taking log on both sides)

log [ 12^(-x)] = log 5

-x log 12 = log 5

-x = log 5 / log 12

x = - (log 5/log12)

x = -0.6477

12^(2x)

= 12^[2(-0.6477)]

= 12 ^ (-1.295)

= 0.04

Brut [27]

Answer:

Twenty-seven and a half million metric tons of apples are eaten fresh.

Step-by-step explanation:

$m = \frac{55,000,000\,m-ton}{2}$

$m = 27,500,000\,m-ton$

Twenty-seven and a half million metric tons of apples are eaten fresh.

If (a−8)/3=(a−3)/2 , then a = ?

Tresset [83]

Answer:

$\frac{(a - 8)}{3} = \frac{(a - 3)}{2} \\ 2(a - 8) = 3(a - 3) \\ 2a - 16 = 3a - 9 \\ 3a - 2a = - 7 \\ a = - 7$
