Concret can be purchased by the cubic yard. how much will it cost to pour a slab 17 ft by 17 ft by 2 inch for a patio if the concret cost 40 dollars per cubic yard if 1 cubic yard equals 27 cubic ft

17 x 17 x 1/6 = 48.1666 cubic feet

48.1666/27 = 1.783 cubic yards ( Round answer as needed)

 Forgot to do cost - Edited to add the cost

 1.783* 40 = $71.38

the answer is:

mean: 6

mad: 2.14

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
