Answer:

(a-b) = -25

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+b) = -5

a*b=-150

So one of the letters have to be negative as you can only get a negative product from a positive and negative

There is probably a better way to do this, but I just plug in numbers that I think will work

So, (a*b) = -150, (-15*10) = -150

Okay that works so lets try the other one

(-15+10) = -5

This also works, so lets do the third one

(-15-10) = -25

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$5.20 is about $5.00, 21 is about 20, so $5.00 * 20 *4 = $400.

Checking this: $5.20 * 21 * 4 = $436.80

Answer:

$\mathrm{12\sqrt{5} \: \: inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem, where:

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Substitute in the values.

$24^2+12^2=c^2$

$c^2=576+144$

$c^2=720$

$c=\sqrt{720}$

$c=12\sqrt{5}$

$c=26.83281$

Answer:

(d) f(x) = log₆(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use y in place of f(x), we see that ...

x = 6^y

Taking logs of both sides, we get ...

log(x) = y·log(6)

y = log(x)/log(6)

y = log₆(x) . . . . . . . using the change of base formula

f(x) = log₆(x)

_____

Or you can get there more directly using the relation between logs and exponentials:

$\displaystyle a = b^c\ \leftrightarrow\ c=\log_b(a)$
