Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles then the 2 legs are congruent.

Given the perimeter is 66, then sum the 3 sides and equate to 66, that is

x + 4x - 3 + 4x - 3 = 66 , that is

9x - 6 = 66 ( add 6 to both sides )

9x = 72 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 8

The graph of a function f(x)=5to the power of x -5 contains the point (2,y) what is the value of y

Mila [183]

I believe this this the function.

$f(x) = {5}^{x - 5}$

then

$f(x) = {5}^{2 - 5}$

then

$f(x) = {5}^{ - 3}$

then

$y = \frac{1}{125}$

$\bf log_{{ a}}(xy)\implies log_{{ a}}(x)+log_{{ a}}(y)
\\ \quad \\
% Logarithm of rationals
log_{{ a}}\left( \frac{x}{y}\right)\implies log_{{ a}}(x)-log_{{ a}}(y)
\\ \quad \\
% Logarithm of exponentials
log_{{ a}}\left( x^{{ b}} \right)\implies {{ b}}\cdot log_{{ a}}(x)\\\\

$\bf log_4\left( \cfrac{\sqrt{x^5y^7}}{zw^4} \right)\implies log_4(\sqrt{x^5y^7})-log_4(zw^4)
\\\\\\
log_4\left[(x^5y^7)^{^\frac{1}{2}}\right]-log_4(zw^4)\implies 
\cfrac{1}{2}log_4\left[(x^5y^7)\right]-log_4(zw^4)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{2}\left[ log_4(x^5)+log_4(y^7) \right] -[log_4(z)+log_4(w^4)]
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{2}log_4(x^5)+\cfrac{1}{2}log_4(y^7)-[log_4(z)+log_4(w^4)]$

$\bf \cfrac{1}{2}\cdot 5log_4(x)+\cfrac{1}{2}\cdot 7log_4(y)-log_4(z)-4log_4(w)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{5}{2}log_4(x)+\cfrac{7}{2}log_4(y)-log_4(z)-4log_4(w)$
