Yes half of 8 is 4 equaling 4/8. Since she knitted 5/8, then she knitted more than 1/2. Hope this helps:)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Function given:</u>
Evaluate the function for an input value of 3
<u>Input value is x = 3, output value is:</u>
- f(3) = -4(3²) – 3(3) – 5 = -4(9) - 9 - 5 = -36 - 14 = -50
- f(3) = -50
14^(7x) = 17^(-8-x)
Take the log of both sides:
7x*log 14 = -(8+x)*log 17, or 7x^log 14 = -8*log 17 - x*log 17.
Grouping the x terms, we get x(7*log 14 + log 17)= -8*log 17
Then:
-8*log 17
x= -------------------------- (answer)
7*log 14 + log 17
