Answer:

-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Log125(1/25)=x

Raise each side to the base of 125

125^Log125(1/25)=125^x

1/25 = 125^x

Rewrite 25 as a power of 5 and 125 as a power of 5

1 / 5^2 = 5^3^x

The if power is in the denominator, we can bring it to the numerator by making it negative

5^-2 = 5^3^x

We know that a^b^c = a^(b*c)

5^-2 = 5^(3*x)

Since the bases are the same, the exponents are the same

-2 = 3x

Divide by 3

-2/3 = 3x/3

-2/3 =x

2. Lamar purchases comic books at garage

Otrada [13]

<u>Answer:</u>

Lamar will charge $\$7$ to the comic dealer for a comic book.

<u>Solution:</u>

It is given that lamar purchases a comic book for $\$4$ . He then marks up the price of a comic book by $75\%$ which means he increases the price of the book by $75\%$ and then sells it to the comic dealer.

We have to find out how much will he charge the comic book dealer.

New price of the book after lamar marks up the price is given by

New price $= \$4 + \frac{75}{100} \times \$4$

= $\$4 + \$3$ $= \$7$

Thus, lamar will charge $\$7$ to the comic dealer for a comic book.

Find the vertex of the graph of the function.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: The correct options are (1) (5,10), (2) (3,-3), (3) x = -1, (4) $y=(x+2)^2+3$ , (5) 21s and (6) 0, -1, and 5.

Explanation:

Te standard form of the parabola is,

$f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$ .....(1)

Where, (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

(1)

The given equation is,

$f(x)=(x-5)^2+10$

Comparing this equation with equation (1),we get,

$h=5$ and $k=10$

Therefore, the vertex of the graph is (5,10) and the fourth option is correct.

(2)

The given equation is,

$f(x)=3x^2-18x+24$

$f(x)=3(x^2-6x)+24$

To make perfect square add $(\frac{b}{2a})^2$ , i.e., $9$ . Since there is factor 3 outside the parentheses, so subtract three times of 9.

$f(x)=3(x^2-6x+9)+24-3\times 9$

$f(x)=3(x-3)^2-3$

Comparing this equation with equation (1),we get,

$h=3$ and $k=-3$

Therefore, the vertex of the graph is (3,-3) and the fourth option is correct.

(3)

The given equation is

$f(x)=4x^2+8x+7$

$f(x)=4(x^2+2x)+7$

To make perfect square add $(\frac{b}{2a})^2$ , i.e., $1$ . Since there is factor 4 outside the parentheses, so subtract three times of 1.

$f(x)=4(x^2+2x+1)+7-4$

$f(x)=4(x+1)^2+3$

Comparing this equation with equation (1),we get,

$h=-1$ and $k=3$

The vertex of the equation is (-1,3) so the axis is x=-1 and the correct option is 2.

(4)

The given equation is,

$y=x^2+4x+7$

To make perfect square add $(\frac{b}{2a})^2$ , i.e., $2^2$ .

$f(x)=x^2+4x+4+7-4$

$f(x)=(x+2)^2+3$

Therefore, the correct option is 4.

(5)

The given equation is,

$h=-16t^2+672t$

It can be written as,

$h=-16(t^2-42t)$

It is a downward parabola. so the maximum height of the function is on its vertex.

The x coordinate of the vertex is,

$x=\frac{b}{2a}$

$x=\frac{42}{2}$

$x=21$

Therefore, after 21 seconds the projectile reach its maximum height and the correct option is first.

(6)

The given equation is,

$f(x)=3x^3-12x^2-15x$

$f(x)=3x(x^2-4x-5)$

Use factoring method to find the factors of the equation.

$f(x)=3x(x^2-5x+x-5)$

$f(x)=3x(x(x-5)+1(x-5))$

$f(x)=3x(x-5)(x+1)$

Equate each factor equal to 0.

$x=0,-1,5$

Therefore, the zeros of the given equation is 0, -1, 5 and the correct option is 2.
