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?

zimovet [89]

Answer:

capacity of the container is 4 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that a container of the coffee is $\frac{1}{6}$ full

And it contains $\frac{2}{3}$ of a pound so $\frac{2}{3}$ pound

It means $\frac{1}{6}$ f of container contain $\frac{2}{3}$ pound coffee

So capacity of the container is $\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{6}}=4pound$

So capacity of the container is 4 pound

What is the equation, in standard form, of a parabola that contains the following points? (-2,18),(0,4),(4,24)

nydimaria [60]

Y=ax² + bx + c and A(-2,18), B(0.4), C(4,24) given

1)Let's determine 1st the value of c in using the pair of B
4= a(0)² + b(0) + c , c=4 and y=ax²+bx+4

2) Use the pair of A: 18 = 4a -2b + 4===> 4a-2b=14

3) Use C pair: 24 = 16a+4b+4 ==> 16a+4b=20

4) solve the system equation in 2) and 3) and you'll find a=2 and b=-3

Hence the equation is y =2x²-3x+4
