Step-by-step explanation:
step 1. what is the question? probably solve for x. okay.
step 2. 4^(2x) + 1 = 4
step 3. 4^(2x) = 3 subtract 1 from each side
step 4. ln4^(2x) = ln3 take on of each side
step 5. 2xln4 = ln3 definition of logs
step 6. 2x = ln3/ln4 divide both sides by ln4
step 7. x = ln3/2ln2^2 divide both side by 2 and replace 4 with 2^2
step 8. x = ln3/4ln2.
Answer: 1/20
Step-by-step explanation: = 1+8:36= 9 hours and 36 minutes
= 9+ 36/60= 9 3/5 hours
=48/5
Decrease per hour= 12/25 divided by 48/5
= 12/25 times 5/48= 1/20
Ans 1/20
Simplify the expression and you get: 8.6
Hope this helps!
I'm not to sure maybe b ?
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
An ellipse is the locus of a point such that its distances from two fixed points, called foci, have a sum that is equal to a positive constant.
The equation of an ellipse with a center at the origin and the x axis as the minor axis is given by:

Since the distance of the satellite from the surface of the moon varies from 357 km to 710 km, hence:
b = 357 km + 959 km = 1316 km
a = 710 km + 959 km = 1669 km
Therefore the equation of the ellipse is:
