What is the solution to the equation below? Round your answer to two decimal places
5 • 9^x= 12.48

The answer to your question is  x = 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

                    (5)9 = 12.48

Process

1.- Divide by 5 both sides

                      (5)9/5 = 12.48/ 5

2.- Simplify

                         9 = 2.496

3.- Get log in both sides

                        x log 9 = log 2.496

4.- Divide by log 9 both sides

                        x log 9/ log 9 = log 2.496/log 9

5.- Simplify

                        x = log 2.496 / log 9

                        x = 0.397/0.954

6.- Result

                        x = 0.42

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
