Answer:

  x ≈ 0.791

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide by 5 to get the exponential factor by itself.

  x^(-2) = 8/5 = 1.6

Taking logarithms base x gives ...

  \log_x{1.6}=-2

Using the change of base formula, this can be rewritten to facilitate solution for x.

  \dfrac{\log{1.6}}{\log{x}}=-2\\\\ \log{x}=-\dfrac{\log{1.6}}{2}=\log{1.6^{-\frac{1}{2}}}\\\\x=1.6^{-\frac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1.6}}=\dfrac{\sqrt{10}}{4}\\\\x\approx 0.791

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The equation can be solved without using logarithms at all.

  x^-2 = 8/5 . . . . divide by 5

  x^2 = 5/8 . . . . . invert both sides

  x = √(5/8) = √(10/16) = (√10)/4

Lucas is applying to both Stanford and Cal-poly. The probability that he gets accepted to Stanford is 0.4. The probability that
Bas_tet [7]

 

a) What is the probability that he is accepted to one of the two schools

this means P( standford or cal-poly)

P( standford or cal-poly) = P( standford) + P(cal-poly) − P( standford and cal-poly)

= 0.4 + 0.3 – 0.15

= 0.55

What is the probability that he does not get accepted at either school?

Prob that he gets neither = 1 − 0.55 = 0.45
