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
Answer:
it's (4,4) since the point is right on top of (4,6) and by doing that it would make a closed quadrilateral
Step-by-step explanation:
it would be best to plot your points and whichever it lands on would be your next point.
Answer:
The answer would be A
Step-by-step explanation:
Both congruent sides are pairs
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Use pemdas!
First use distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis, by multiplying 2 by 3x and -4. Then combine like terms and use inverse operations to simplify each side until you get it down to just x! Hope this helped! :)
8.68x when x=the amount of hours you have worked
So do 8.68*16
Which equals $138.88
