Kayla held a pole in the swimming pool. The bottom of the pole was at a depth of 3 feet. How should Kayla mark the level of the bottom of the pole on the number line? Explain how you determined this.

Kayla should mark the level 3 whole tick marks to the left of the zero on the number line.

Step-by-step explanation:

This would mean the number is negative, for it is on the left of the zero. Another way to say this could be that the absolute value of -3 is three, for it is three whole tick marks from the zero.

step-by-step explanation:

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
