Answer:

x = -3

There is a base f 5 on the left side, so write the denominator on the right as a base of

5 as well.

125

Move the base to the numerator.

−

If the bases are equal, the indices are equal:

−

Answer:

The answer is 1/625

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is because 5a = 1/125

Therefore, to find the value of "a" we need to divide!

So, a = 1/125 / 5

⇒ 1/125 × 1/5 ( Reciprocal when we divide )

⇒ 1/125 × 5

→ 1/625

I hope this answer helps!

C) x<8 and x>10
c) all real Numbers (multiply the -2 to the parenthesis and you get the same equation on both sides which means all real numbers)
C) x is greater than or equal to -3 (solid circle with the line towards positive.)
A) 24 ( distribute then subtract p from both sides)
B) d-12 $\geq$ 51; d $\geq$ 63

A principal of $1800 is invested at 4% intrest, compounded annually. How much will the investment be worth after 8 years?

zavuch27 [327]

So the equation would be 4\100 of 1800 every year = (4/100x1800)x8 years = 72x8 years = $576. Best of luck!

A number is squared. The result is squared, then that result is squared. The final number is 6561. What was the original number?

MissTica

The original number is 3.

I actually began with the guess-and-check method, but seeing as that won't always work, let's go over the formal way. To get the original number, you first need to determine how many times the number was squared.

To make it simple, let's use x to focus on the exponents. The number was squared 3 times, so x^2, x^2, x^2. Basically, you need to multiply. 2 * 2 * 2 = 8. So, now find the 8th root of 6561 (depending on the calculator, you can just input it). You should come up with 3. Let me know if this part confuses you.

To find the next 2 numbers, you just need to continue the pattern.

6561^2 = 43,046,721

43,046,721^2 = 1,853,020,188,851,841

To my knowledge, which means this could be wrong, they're both perfect squares. Since the number to get them both were whole numbers, they should both have a square root that equals a whole number.

Please help with this math problem! The intersection of GK and HL is point P. Which triangle must be an isosceles triangle? *loo

Whitepunk [10]

None of the triangles listed has two equal base angles or two equal side lengths, therefore: D. No triangle is isosceles.

<h3>Properties of an Isosceles Triangle</h3>

An isosceles triangle has two base angles having equal angle measure.
The side lengths that are opposite each of the equal base angles are also congruent to each other.

Thus, none of the triangles listed has two equal base angles or two equal side lengths, therefore: D. No triangle is isosceles.
