Answer:
He is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
multiplication and division are inverse operations so lets divide to see if he is correct
40.7/10=4.07
he is correct
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?
11. y = -23x - 21
You can get this by starting with y = mx + b (slope intercept form). Then put in all the knowns and solve for the b.
2 = -23(-1) + b
2 = 23 + b
-21 = b
Then add that to the end of the equation with m = -23
12. -5
The y-intercept of an equation is always the number added on at the end of an equation. It is also the number with no x attached to it.
13. 8x^9y^6
When you use the law of exponents, you need to make sure the exponent goes to each individual term. When we cube the 2, it becomes 8. When you cube x^3, you get x^3*x^3*x^3 or x^9. And with y^2 you get y^6
It’s the set of all possible outcomes
Put common terms in evidence and simplify:
