A small point deduction applies if a participation activity's question is not answered correctly the first time?

False

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no such deduction when a participation's questions are not answered correctly the first time. Whatever answer is given is part of the learning curve and ensures that the activity can be improved upon.

Had there been a small point deduction then there would be no opportunity to learn because there would be too much fear associated with the wrong answer.

d is the correct answer

step-by-step explanation:

x= 8 because 3x = 3 * 8, and 3*8 = 24

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
