0.2^(x-1)<=5*0.04^(x-1)
OpenStudy (amistre64):
and solve for x i assume?
OpenStudy (nowhereman):
Apply logarithm
OpenStudy (angela210793):
yes....
if i used log wouldn't x be depended by log5? and the answer must be only an interval
OpenStudy (angela210793):
or half interval or not***

OpenStudy (amistre64):
\[0.2^{x-1}\ \ge\ 5*0.04^{x-1}\]
(x-1) log(.2) >= log(5) + log(.04) (x-1)
OpenStudy (angela210793):
log(.04) (x-1)=log0.04^(2x-2)
but wht abt log5???
OpenStudy (amistre64):
log(a*b) = log(a) + log(b)
log(5* .04^(...)) = log(5) + log(.....)
OpenStudy (angela210793):
=log0.2^2x-2*************
OpenStudy (angela210793):
yea i know those thnx...but the answer shouldn't include any log5....

OpenStudy (amistre64):
(x-1) log(.2) - (x-1) log(.04) >= log(5)
(x-1) (log(.2) - log(.04)) >= log(5)
x-1 >= log(5)/[log(.2/.04)]
x >= 1 + \(\frac{log(5)}{log(20/4)}\)
OpenStudy (amistre64):
x >= 1 + log(5)/log(5)
x >= 2
OpenStudy (amistre64):
you say you know these things; do you then choose to not apply them? :)
OpenStudy (amistre64):
and it looks like i flipped the inequality by accident
OpenStudy (angela210793):
I DO KNOW THESE!!!!!!!! Is just that.....idk.....my brain is on vacations in Hawaii and it hasn't come back yet so.....:P:P :(:(:(:(:(
Thanks ^_^ :)
