Answer:

y =-14

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation is of the form

xy = k where k is a constant

(-7)(-8) = k

56 = k

The equation is

xy = 56

Let x = -4

(-4)y = 56

y = 56/-4

y =-14

[20 pts] evaluate the logarithm log(6)1/36, show work pls!

Delvig [45]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\log_6\dfrac{1}{36}=-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{We know:}\\\\\log_ab=c\iff a^c=b\\\\\log_6\dfrac{1}{36}\qquad\text{use}\ a^{-1}=\dfrac{1}{a}\\\\=\log_636^{-1}=\log_6(6^2)^{-1}\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\=\log_66^{(2)(-1)}=\log_66^{-2}\qquad\text{use}\log_ab^n=n\log_ab\\\\=-2\log_66\qquad\text{use}\ \log_aa=1\\\\=-2(1)=-2$

$\log_6\dfrac{1}{36}=-2\ \text{because}\ 6^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{6^2}=\dfrac{1}{36}$

Help pleas Describe the power function f(x)=x^5. What does it look like? Where does it cross the x- and y-axis? How many turns d

dezoksy [38]

Answer:53=125

Step-by-step explanation:For an increasing function like this, the end behavior at the right "end" is going to infinity. Written like: as x→∞,y→∞ . That means that large powers of 5 will continue to grow larger and head toward infinity. For example, 53=125 .
