What is the value of a when we rewrite 8^x as a^-x/9​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andre45 [30]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a = \frac{1}{134217728}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8^x = a^{-x/9}

Required

Find a

Take log of both sides

log(8^x) = log(a^{-x/9})

Apply law of logarithm

x\ log(8)  = (-x/9) log(a)

Divide both sides by a

log(8)  = -\frac{1}{9} log(a)

Multiply both sides by -9

-9\ log(8)  = log(a)

Apply law of logarithm

log(8^{-9})  = log(a)

Cancel out log

8^{-9}  = a

Rewrite as:

a = 8^{-9}

Apply law of indices

a = \frac{1}{8^9}

a = \frac{1}{134217728}

X² + 6x  -12 = 0
x = <u>-(6) +/- √((6)² - 4(1)(-12))</u>
                     2(1)
x = <u>-6 +/- √(36 + 48)</u>
                   2
x = <u>-6 +/- √(84)

Answer:

(D) \frac{\sqrt{x}}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3x^2}{\sqrt{9x^5}}=\frac{3x^2}{3\sqrt{x^5}}=\frac{\sqrt{x^4}}{\sqrt{x^5}}=\sqrt{\frac{x^4}{x^5}}=\\=\sqrt{\frac{1}{x}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}=\frac{\sqrt{x}}{x}
