What is the solution to the equation below? Round your answer to two
decimal places.5

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of logarithms

log ⇔ n log x

Given

5 × = 18 ( divide both sides by 5 )

= 3.6 ( take the ln of both sides )

ln = ln 3.6, thus

x lne = ln 3.6 ← lne = 1

x = ln 3.6 ≈ 1.28 → C

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
