Step-by-step explanation:
You have to use logarithms.
1) a = log_3 (1/27) = -log_3 (27) = -3
2) b = log_3 (9 * 3^(1/2)) = log_3 (3 ^ {5/2}) = 5/2
3) c = -log_3 (sqrt3) = -1/2
We can find the number of extra clubs in the deck from the given probability, since the probability of drawing a diamond and a club is

but this would imply that

, which suggests we're taking 4 clubs out of the original deck and contradicts the problem statement that there are "too many clubs".
Perhaps the question is providing the probability of drawing a diamond, THEN a club, or vice versa. In that case, we have

and solving gives

, which makes more sense. Then the number of extra spades in the deck must be 2.
Answer:
I think it should be triangle
Answer:
A. 
Step-by-step explanation:
To find f(-2) in f(x)=5*3^x, plug in -2 into all the x values.
f(-2)=5*3^-2, you can use calculator to calculate 3^-2 which equals 0.1, forever 1's.
f(-2)=5*0.1=0.5 Forever 5's.
f(-2)=0.5 or 
Hope this helps!
If not, I am sorry.
