  x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

__

  (5^(1/5))^5 = 25^x . . . . given

  5^(1/5×5) = (5^2)^x . . . . simplify left side, rewrite right side

  5^1 = 5^(2x) . . . . . . . . . simplify further

  1 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . . equate exponents of the same base

  x = 1/2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Additional comment

The Order of Operations tells you that exponentiation must be evaluated before multiplication or division. That means 5^1/5 is evaluated as ...

  (5^1)/5 = 5/5 = 1

If you want a fractional exponent, it must be put in parentheses: 5^(1/5). If you type your expression into the Go.ogle calculator, it will strictly adhere to the Order of Operations.

ANSWER

1. x=\frac{1}{2}


2. x=1


QUESTION 1

The first sentence is (5^{\frac{1}{5}})^5=25^x.


Recall that;

(a^m)^n=a^{mn}


We simplify the left hand side by applying this property to get;


5^{\frac{1}{5}\times 5}=25^x.


\Rightarrow 5^{1}=25^x.


We now rewrite the right hand side too in an index form to obtain;


\Rightarrow 5^{1}=5^{2x}

We now equate the exponents to get;

\Rightarrow 1=2x.


\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=x


\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}.


QUESTION 2

The second sentence is (8^{\frac{1}{3}})^2=4^x


We simplify the left hand side first to get;

(2^{3\times \frac{1}{3}})^2=4^x


2^2=4^x


We now rewrite the left hand side too in index form to obtain;


2^2=2^{2x}

We equate the exponents to get;

2=2x


This implies that;


1=x

or

x=1

Hey!

I'll brake down every step (these steps wont have words, but if need any help, drop a comment)... And show you all the work, hope this helps...

Fractions Simplified

5 (1/5) > 26/5 > 5.2

8 (1/3) > 25/3 > 8.3333

First Problem

(5 1/5) 5 = 25x; x = ?

(5.2)*5 = 25x; x = ?

26 = 25x; x = ?

x = 26/25

x = 1.04

Second Problem

(8 1/3) 2 = 4x; x = ?

(8.3333)*2 = 4x; x = ?

16.66666 = 4x; x = ?

x = 16.66666/4

x = 4.166666

Estimated: x = 4.1667

The expression used to represent g(x) as inverse of f(x) is \frac{1}{5}(5x-25)+5

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

f(x)= 5x-25\\g(x)=\frac{1}{5}x+5

We need to find the expression that could be used to verify g(x) is the inverse of f(x).

We know that g(f(x))=x is inverse of function

So placing value of f(x) in g(x)

g(f(x))=\frac{1}{5}(5x-25)+5

So, the expression used to represent g(x) as inverse of f(x) is \frac{1}{5}(5x-25)+5

Option B is correct.

We can also solve to prove that g(f(x))=x

g(f(x))=\frac{1}{5}(5x-25)+5\\g(f(x))=\frac{5}{5}(x-5)+5\\g(f(x))=x-5+5\\g(f(x))=x

The point (56, 1.75) is on the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points, we can get the slope (m) as follows:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the points. Replacing with (8, 0.25) and (16, 0.5):

m = (0.5 - 0.25)/(16 - 8) = 0.03125

The point-slope form of a line is:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Replacing with data:

y - 0.25 = 0.03125(x - 8)

To know if point (56, 1.75) is on the line, we have to replace x = 56 in the obtained equation and check y-value, as follows:

y - 0.25 = 0.03125(56 - 8)

y - 0.25 = 1.5

y = 1.5 + 0.25 = 1.75

Then, the point is on the line. This means that there are 56 ounces in 1.75 quarts.

2) a. 30
3) d. The value of g(−2) is larger than the value of g(4).
4) b. − 1 over 2
5) d. y = −2x − 1
6) a. line through the points 0 comma 6 and 12 comma 0
7) a. It is increasing during the time interval 4 < x < 7 hours.
8) from x15 to x 25 is 4 - -16 = -20 degree change
25-15 = 10000 feet
-20/10=-2 degrees every 1000 feet.
9) Suppose that the function f(x) is the parrent function and the graph of the function g(x)=f(x)-a can be obtained from the graph of the parrent function f(x) by shifting down a units.
Rewrite the expression for the function in the following way:
g(x)=32x-9=32x+8-8-9=32x+8-17=f(x)-17.
This shows that the shift down is made by 17 units.
10) b. The graph of y = f(x) will shift down 9 units.
11) b. y + 1 = 5(x + 2)
12) c. f(x) = 2x + 5
