Vocaloid:

any restrictions on x? keep in mind this is a cube root not a square root function

zarkam21:

Um 0

Vocaloid:

the cube root can be taken for any x-value, positive or negative (cube root of 0 is still defined) so no restrictions on x

Vocaloid:

for 6: what value of x makes the log undefined?

zarkam21:

5

Vocaloid:

good, since x = 5 makes the inside of the log 0 it's undefined there for 7: any restrictions on x?

zarkam21:

um 7?

Vocaloid:

does putting x = 7 make the function undefined?

zarkam21:

no

zarkam21:

would it be maybe a negative number

zarkam21:

idk I'm having trouble with this one

Vocaloid:

good e^x doesn't have any restrictions on its domain (x can be positive or negative) so e^(x+4) + 7 doesn't have any restrictions either

Vocaloid:

that's it for 5,6,7

zarkam21:

so no restrictions ofr 7

Vocaloid:

yup that's correct

Vocaloid:

also change #6 to x cannot be 5 ~~~or less~~~ since logs need to be positive

zarkam21:

oh so i would not put anything for the restriction and just write x cannot be 5 or less since logs need to be positive

zarkam21:

or do i put 5 as the restriction and then add this explanation

Vocaloid:

x cannot be 5 or less

zarkam21:

Got it !

Vocaloid:

"x < 5" "x must be greater than 5 because the input/argument for a log must be positive"

zarkam21:

okay and for this

8A Part I 3^5=x^2+18 Part II x=15,-15

Vocaloid:

yup good

zarkam21:

B Part I 10^2=3x+4 Part II x=32

Vocaloid:

good

zarkam21:

I'm having a hard time with C PArt I

Vocaloid:

first use the exponent rules to combine the e's into one e expression

zarkam21:

e^x^2+1?

Vocaloid:

the rule is to add the exponents not multiply them

zarkam21:

2x?

Vocaloid:

what is x + x + 1?

zarkam21:

3x

Vocaloid:

combine like terms

zarkam21:

oh shoot I'm sorry

zarkam21:

2x+1

zarkam21:

2x+1

Vocaloid:

good so e^(2x+1) = 1 is your soln' for part I to convert this to a log for part II take the natural log of both sides

zarkam21:

I dont even know what i was doing there :/

zarkam21:

x=-0.5

Vocaloid:

good that's part III but for part II they only want the log expression so 2x + 1 = ln(1) is your soln' for part II

zarkam21:

loge(1)=2x+1

zarkam21:

oh okay

Vocaloid:

yeah that works too, loge is the same as ln

zarkam21:

i would just solve for n right

zarkam21:

and substitute 5 for n

Vocaloid:

hold up a sec

Vocaloid:

judging by the equation, the first term is 27, and the common ratio is 0.1 so start with 27, multiply by 0.1 to get 2.7, then just keep multiplying by 0.1 until you have a list of the first five terms

zarkam21:

27,2.7,0.27,0.027,0.0027

Vocaloid:

good, now we just use the geometric sum formula to find the sum of the first ten terms|dw:1517503960910:dw|

zarkam21:

29.9

Vocaloid:

good

zarkam21:

okay

Vocaloid:

for 10 part I it's just asking you to re-write the original equation with 300 instead of T(x)

zarkam21:

300=1500e^-0.4x

Vocaloid:

yeah just like that for part II it just wants you to solve for x divide both sides by 1500 and then take the natural log of both sides, then divide by -0.4

zarkam21:

loge(300)=-0.4x

Vocaloid:

300/1500 = ?

zarkam21:

0.2

Vocaloid:

good so ln(0.2) = -0.04x solve for x

zarkam21:

40.24

Vocaloid:

good so about 40 years 3 months ish

Vocaloid:

for parts I/II you just need to plug in t = 0 and t = 15 into the equation, respectively

zarkam21:

212

zarkam21:

and

zarkam21:

330.39

Vocaloid:

awesome for part III just set T(t) = 125 and solve for t

zarkam21:

-23.17

Vocaloid:

good (you probably forgot the negative sign on 0.04) t = 23 (needs to be positive since this is time)

Vocaloid:

anyway I should probably go I have some stuff to take care of
