Solve 5(2^x+4)=15 round to the nearest thousandth

Mathematics
1 answer:
Novosadov [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by dividing by 5

2x + 4 = 3            

Is this written as 2^(x + 4) = 3? I think it is.

Take the log of both sides

log 2^(x + 4) = log(3)

(x + 4) * log(2) = log 3

log 2 = 0.30103

log 3 = 0.47712

(x + 4) = log2 / log3

x + 4 = 0.63093               Add 4 to both sides

x = -3.369                        Rounded to the nearest thousandth

====================

If you mean the question exactly as it is written (the 4 is not part of the power)

5(2^x + 4) = 15

2^x + 4 = 3

2^x = 3 - 4

2^x = - 1

This can't be done 2 to any power should be >0.

if x>0 then this will give an ever increasing number

if xK0 then this will give an ever decreasing answer but still greater than 0.

No value will make 2^x go to something minus.

If I have misread this in some way, leave a note and I will get back to you.

3. Is the relationship shown by the data linear? If so, model the data with an equation X | Y 1 ,5| 5,10| 9,15| 13,20|
son4ous [18]

Answer:

y=\frac{5}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

x | y

-------

1     5

5   10

9    15

13   20

This one is linear because as x goes up by the same number so does y. So the ratio of difference of y to difference of x is the same per pair of points.

So a linear equation in slope-intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

To find the slope, I'm going to line up the points vertically and subtract, then put 2nd difference over 1st difference. Like so,

( 1    ,   5)

-( 5   ,  10)

----------------

-4          -5

So the slope is 5/4 which makes sense since the y's are going up by 5 each time and the x's are going up by 4 each time.

So we have m=5/4. Let's plug that into our y=mx+b.

y=5/4 x+b

To find b, we need to use y=5/4 x+b along with one of the given points.

Choose; it doesn't matter.  I like (1,5) I guess.

y=5/4 x +b with (1,5)

5=5/4 (1)+b

5=5/4    +b

Subtract 5/4 on both sides:

5-5/4=b

20/4-5/4=b  (Found a common denominator)

15/4=b

The y-intercept is 15/4 so b=15/4.

So the equation for the line in slope-intercept form is y=5/4 x +15/4.

y=\frac{5}{4}x+\frac{15}{4}

Fiesta28 [93]
Hi there!

Since the total weight the box can hold is 8 pounds, and she filled up 2/4:

8 * 2/4 = 4

There were 4 pounds in the box. 

Hope this helps!
