I have the pictures if you need them

OpenStudy (welshfella):

its been a while - i dont remember this stuff very well yea ok show them

OpenStudy (dukelaxfan):

OpenStudy (dukelaxfan):

i know what y equals but i dont know which graph helps you solve it

OpenStudy (dukelaxfan):

I believe that it is the last graph, because y=1.54 ish and that looks the most similar

OpenStudy (dukelaxfan):

What do you think?

OpenStudy (dukelaxfan):

I need to finish this ASAP

OpenStudy (welshfella):

well y = 12/5 = 2.4 is the correct solution of course

OpenStudy (dukelaxfan):

i messed up, the y is an exponent

OpenStudy (dukelaxfan):

y is approximately 1.54395931

OpenStudy (mikwind):

\[y=\log_{5} (12)\] so probably the first one, since it most resembles a normal log(x)

OpenStudy (dukelaxfan):

The last one was correct for future reference
