Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common ratio, take the second term and divide by the first term

-14/-7 = 2

Check by dividing the third term by the second term

-28/-14 = 2

The common ratio is 2

Answer:

$1.\:2^x=64, x=\boxed{6},\\2.\:x=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^3,x=\boxed{\frac{8}{125}}\\3.\:3\cdot (3^4)=3^x, x=\boxed{5}\\4.\:\frac{16}{25}=x^2,x=\boxed{\frac{4}{5}},$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.\\\\2^x=64,\\\log 2^x=\log64,\\x\log 2=\log 64,\\x=\frac{\log 64}{\log 2}=\boxed{6}$

$2.\\x=\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^3=\frac{2^3}{5^3}=\boxed{\frac{8}{125}}$

3. This problem incorporates an exponent property.

Exponent property used: $a^b\cdot a^c=a^{(b+c)}$ , yielding an answer of $\boxed{5}$

$4.\\\\\frac{16}{25}=x^2,\\x=\sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}=\frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{25}}=\boxed{\frac{4}{5}}$

Courtney walks 1 mph slower than Brandi does. In the time that it takes Brandi to walk 6.5 mi, Courtney walks 5 mi. Find the spe

posledela

Answer:

Courtney's walking speed = 3.33mph

Brandi's walking speed = 4.33 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Courtney's walking speed

then

(x + 1) = Brandi's walking speed

Time = Distance/speed

Brandi walks 6.5 mi time = Courtney walks 5 mi time

6.5/x + 1 = 5/x

Cross multiply

6.5x= 5(x+1)

6.5x= 5x + 5

6.5x - 5x = 5

1.5x = 5

x = 5/1.5

x = 3.33 mph is Courtney's walking speed

Note that:

(x + 1) = Brandi's walking speed

3.33mph + 1 = 4.33mph

Therefore,

Courtney's walking speed = 3.33mph

Brandi's walking speed = 4.33 mph
