Some help please???

OpenStudy (angela210793):

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 ^_^ :)
