Question

solve. then round answer to the nearest hundredth. 10^x+4=1000

Answer 1

@dpflan

Answer 2

Is it\[10^{x+4} = 1000\] In anyway case, it's just like the last one, you can solve this one in a minute ;)

Answer 3

yes..

Answer 4

10^x+4=1000
10^x = 996
x = log 996
2.9982

Answer 5

wait, if it's \[10^{x+4}\] then you need to re-solve

Answer 6

Otherwise, you got it

Answer 7

so if it is 10^x+4 its wrong?

Answer 8

No, you solved it correctly if the +4 is not in the exponent

Answer 9

be careful of what you're solving... which of these is the correct expression on the left:

\[\large 10^{x+4} \]

or

\[\large 10^{x}+4 \]

Answer 10

the first one

Answer 11

then like @dpflan , said, you need to resolve... your original solution is for the second expression

Answer 12

10^(x + 4) = 1000
x + 4 = 3
x = -1

Answer 13

yeah, nice!

Answer 14

how would i round that to the nearest hundredth though?

Answer 15

?

Answer 16

Well, it currently have no fractional value, nothing passed the decimal point, so you can rewrite that \[-1=-1.00000....\]

Answer 17

thanks :)

Answer 18

No problem, thanks for the medal!
