Answer:

  (x | x = 0.5 or x = 4.5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation resolves to two:

  2x -5 = 4

  2x = 9 . . . . . . add 5

  x = 9/2 = 4.5 . . . . divide by 2

and ...

  2x -5 = -4

  2x = 1 . . . . . . add 5

  x = 1/2 = 0.5 . . . . divide by 2

Then the solution set is ...

  (x | x = 0.5 or x = 4.5} . . . . . . matches the first choice

Solve 14x + 1 = 36.<br> Round to the nearest ten-thousandth.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

x≈ 3.2056

Step-by-step explanation:

Set both sides by log.  Then, solve for x.

1. 14^(x + 1) = 36

(x + 1)log(14) = log(36)

x + 1 = log(36)/log(14) . . . Divide both sides by log(14)

x = log(36)/log(14) - 1 . . . . Subtract both sides by 1.

x ≈ 0.3579 . . . . . . . . . . . .Use calculator to simplify the expression.

Note that the second problem is similar  to the first.

2. 12^(y - 2) = 20

(y - 2)log(12) = log(20)

y - 2 = log(20)/log(12)

y = log(20)/log(12) + 2

y ≈ 3.2056

Which equation represents a parabola that opens upward, has a minimum at x = 3, and has a line of symmetry at x = 3?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

A. y = x^2 -6x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabola that opens up and has line of symmetry x=3 and a minimum at x=3  is

y=x^2-6x+13

The reason is that, we can write this function in the vertex form to get;

y=x^2-6x+(-3)^2+13-(-3)^2

y=(x-3)^2+13-9

y=(x-3)^2+4

Hence the line of symmetry is x=3 and the vertex is (3,4)
