The correct question is
What is the value of x in the following equation (1/5)^x=5^8
Applying logarithms both members
log(1/5)^x=log(5^8)
x*log(1/5)=8*log(5)
x=8*log(5)/log(1/5)
we know that
log (1/5)----> log (1)-log (5)----> 0-log (5)-----> -log (5)
so
x=8*log(5)/-log (5)------> x=-8
the answer is
-8
Well X should be 1 but the length and width could be 5 by 4
Answer:
11.95 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of one LED bulb = 6.95 dollars
Cost of changing one bulb = 3 dollars
Life of each bulb = 5 years.
In 10 years, only one time after 5 years the bulbs would have been changed
Hence cost of 100 lamps = 695 and
cost of changing once = 500
Total cost = 1195 dollars for 11 years
Divide this by 10 years to get average cost per year
Cost of 100 lamps per year = 1195/100 = 11.95 dollars
