Answer:
0, for q ≠ 0 and q ≠ 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming q ≠ 0, you want to find the value of x such that ...
q^x = 1
This is solved using logarithms.
__
x·log(q) = log(1) = 0
The zero product rule tells us this will have two solutions:
x = 0
log(q) = 0 ⇒ q = 1
If q is not 0 or 1, then its value is 1 when raised to the 0 power. If q is 1, then its value will be 1 when raised to <em>any</em> power.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The applicable rule of logarithms is ...
log(a^b) = b·log(a)
34-5x+2(x-2)=15 1st get rid of () by distributing the 2.
34-5x+2x-4=15 Now collect like terms.
30-3x=15 Get -3x by itself by subtracting 30 in both sides.
-3x=-15 You want X by itself so divide by -3 on both sides.
x=5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
66/1
First the original price is reduced by 15%
assume the original price is x
100%-15%=85%..u r left with 85% of the price
thus,85/100 multiply x
the reduced price is reduced again by 5%
so,95/100 ×(85/100 x)=$315.32
find x
323/400 x =$315.32
×=$390.49
Answer:
m∠BCD = 90°
∠BCD is a right angle
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>If a ray bisects an angle, that means it divides the angle into two equal parts in measure</em>
∵ Ray CE bisects ∠BCD
→ Means divide it into two angles BCE and ECD which equal in measures
∴ m∠BCE = m∠ECD =
m∠BCD
∵ m∠BCE = 3x - 6
∵ m∠ECD = 2x + 11
→ Equate them to find x
∴ 3x - 6 = 2x + 11
→ Add 6 to both sides
∵ 3x - 6 + 6 = 2x + 11 + 6
∴ 3x = 2x + 17
→ Subtract 2x from both sides
∵ 3x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 17
∴ x = 17
∵ m∠BCE =
m∠BCD
→ Substitute x in the measure of ∠BCE to find it, then use it to
find m∠BCD
∵ m∠BCE = 3(17) - 6 = 51 - 6
∴ m∠BCE = 45°
∵ 45 =
m∠BCD
→ Multiply both sides by 2
∴ 90 = m∠BCD
∴ m∠BCD = 90°
→ The measure of the acute angle is less than 90°, the measure of
the obtuse angle is greater than 90°, and the measure of the
right angle is 90°
∴ ∠BCD is a right angle
