When I solved this equation I got x=0.5

You might have made an error the first time you solved for x. I got x = -0.5.

When you have your log base 4, the way you cancel that out is by making 4 the base on both sides, so you get 4^(log4) to reduce to 1, and you're left with:

2x + 3 = 4^(1/2) ... Simplify

2x + 3 = 2

2x = -1

x = -1/2

If you plug that back in, everything checks out. Maybe double check your use of logarithm/exponent properties?

A tree casts a shadow 29 meters long. At the same time a 3-meter high pole casts a shadow 4 meters long. What is the height of t
Musya8 [376]
The tree would be 22ft You take x for the height of the tree and put it over 29 for the length of the shadow, then you take 3 for the height of the pole over 4 for the length of is shadow. Then cross multiply. So x over 29 = 3 over 4. Cross multiply to get x=22

A commercial jet and a private airplane fly from Denver to Phoenix. It takes the commercial jet 1.1 hours for the flight, and it
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The speed of the private airplane is 770 mph, the speed of the commercial airplane is 980 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the speed of private airplane. If the speed of the commercial jet is 210 miles per hour faster than the speed of the private airplane, then the speed of commercial airplane is (x+210) mph.

It takes the commercial jet 1.1 hours for the flight, then it covered the distance of

1.1(x+210)\ miles

It takes the private airplane 1.8 hours for the flight, then it covered the distance of

1.8x\ miles.

The distances are the same, so

1.1(x+210)=1.8x\\ \\1.1x+231=1.8x\\ \\1.8x-1.1x=231\\ \\0.7x=231\\ \\7x=2,310\\ \\x=770

The speed of the private airplane is 770 mph, the speed of the commercial airplane is 770 + 210 = 980 mph.

Which graph shows the new position of the rectangle after a translation? Rectangle with coordinates: (0, negative 1), (0, negati
Scrat [10]
As you can see in the screenshot, once you plot the points for each rectangle, it becomes easier to see what's happening.  In the first transformation, the rectangle is translated or slid.  In the next 2 transformations, the rectangle is rotated.  In the last transformation, the rectangle is dilated or shrunk.  The first rectangle is the only translation.
