a) Four gallons of water weigh 33.4 lb
How much do 7.5 gallons of water weigh?
b) Four gallons of water weigh 33.4 lb
Find the constant of variation.

a) 62.591 lb  b) 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 62.625 lb

b) 8.35

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Use a proportion.

4 gal is to 33.4 lb as 7.5 gal is to x lb.

4/33.4 = 7.5/x

4x = 33.4 * 7.5

4x = 250.5

x = 62.625

62.625 lb

b) 33.4/4 = 8.35

Tada

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752

its totaly b
