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
C. carbon is found in all living things
a. heat is trapped in carbon
1) in one minute for first wiil be 1/20
the other 1/30, it means that A paint in one minute 1/20 and B 1/30 then A+B in one minute 1/20 + 1/30 = 3+2/60 = 5 / 60, 5/60 = 1/12
if in one min they make 1/12 then in 12 min they paint all the wall
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>For old circular garden:</u>
take the radius as r.
then use the formula to find area of circle: πr² ......this is old garden area.
<u>For new enlarged garden:</u>
the radius is twice the old radius so, radius = 2 * r = 2r ......enlarged radius
now find area for this new garden: π(2r)² → 4πr²
In common fractions: (old garden)/(new garden)
: ( πr² ) / ( 4πr² )
: 1/4
