C.) 0.0001 is a power of ten
When b=0
f(x)=ax^2+c
test each
A. with x^2-1, A is false
B. with -x^2-1, B is false
C. cannot find contradiction
D. the axis is actually x=0, 0 is nithere positive nor negative, false
answer is C
Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.


Drop the exponents:

Expand the right side:

Move the terms containing <em>x</em> to the left side and factor out <em>x</em> :


Solve for <em>x</em> by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :

You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:



You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,
