5^{x+1}-5^{x+2}=-2500. Find x

Mathematics
1 answer:
vladimir1956 [14]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

{5}^{(x + 1)}  -  {5}^{(x + 2)}  =  - 2500 \\

divide all sides by -1:

{5}^{(x + 2)}  - 5 {}^{(x + 1)}  = 2500

from law of indices:

( {5}^{x} . {5}^{2} ) - ( {5}^{x} . {5}^{1} ) = 2500

factorise out 5^x:

{5}^{x} ( {5}^{2}  -  {5}^{1} ) = 2500 \\  {5}^{x} (20) = 2500 \\  {5}^{x}  = 125 \\  {5}^{x}  =  {5}^{3}  \\ x = 3

What is the volume of the rectangular prism in cubic yards?​
strojnjashka [21]

The volume of the rectangular prism is 1120 yd³.

<h3>What is a prism?</h3>

A prism is a solid geometric figure whose two ends are similar, equal, and parallel rectilinear figures, and whose sides are parallelograms.

To calculate the volume of the rectangular prism, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • V = LWH.......... Equation 1

Where:

  • V = Volume of the rectangular prism
  • L = Length of the prism
  • W = Width of the prism
  • H = Height of the prism.

From the question,

Given:

  • L = 14 yards
  • W = 8 yards
  • H = 10 yards.

Substitute thee values into equation 1

  • V = 14×8×10
  • V = 1120 yd³

Hence, The volume of the rectangular prism is 1120 yd³.

The solutions to the inequality y &gt; −3x + 2 are shaded on the graph. Which point is a solution? (0, 2) (2, 0) (1, −2) (−2, 1)
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

(2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution of the inequality y>-3x+2 is shown in attached diagram.

The boundary line is dotted line, because the sign of inequality is without notion "or equal to". The dotted line means that points lying on this line are not solutions of the inequality. The solutions are those points lying in the shaded region.

From the points (0,2), (2,0), (1,-2), (-2,1) only point (2,0) lies on the shaded region, so only point (2,0) is a solution to the inequality
