(05.01)Which statement best describes the area of the triangle shown below? 4 by 4 triangle a) It is one-half the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units. b) It is one-half the area of a square of side length 4 units. c) It is twice the area of a rectangle of length 4 units and width 2 units. d) It is twice the area of a square of side length 4 units.

1/800 is the right answer

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}  

5⋅2  

x

2  

x
