    Logarithmic Functions Expanded

    I have a question regarding logarithmic functions-- the problem is this log base 4 (64x^5) this is to be expanded. I have factored 64 but I still am not coming up with the correct answer. I have 4+5 log 4 x. The book has 3+5log4x. What am I doing wrong???? Is the book wrong? I have been trying to figure this out but just

    Expression, Domain, and Range

    Agents determine the cost for maintaining and hiring a hall by charging a flat fee of $55 for maintenance and the an hourly fee of $45 per hour. The maximum fee for the whole day's use is $595 a)Write the mathematical expression for the function used to generate the cost of hiring the hall.What would the domain and the range be

    Natural log and condensed coefficient

    I have a question regarding natural logarithms. The question is this-- ln x + ln 7 We are supposed to condense this and write as a single logarithm whose coefficient is one.

    Radical Equations

    Simplify the radical expression : 8730;300 Solve the radical equation : 2x + 4 = 4 Simplify (fraction) : 5y/16 + 7y/16 - 3y/16 Simplify (fraction) : 5/8 15/16 +1/2 Solve (fraction) : x/6 - x/8 = 1

    What would the recursion formula be for that problem. Please see attachment.

    Finding a Zero of a Polynomial Function

    Finding a zero of a polynomial function. I know that we the zeros by setting f(x) equal to 0 and solving the equation. The book only gives two examples--so I am pretty much stuck. The problem is: f(x)=2(x-5)(x+4)^2 This is what I have done so far-- 0=2(x-5)(x+4)^2 0=2(x-5) + (x+4)^2.

    Need these Algebra problems explained

    (See attached file for full problem description) --- ALGEBRA Please add a bit more detail to each problem as to how the answers were derived. Thanks! 1. Perform the indicated operation: (x3 - 2x2 - 4x + 3)  (x - 3) Since x3 - 2x2 - 4x + 3 = (x - 3) ( ), we have (x3 - 2x2 - 4x + 3)  (x - 3) =

    Functions and Graphs

    Hi--we are currently working on composite functions. I am having difficulty getting started with this problem. A company that sells radios has a yearly fixed cost of $600,000. It costs the company $45 to produce each radio. Each radio will sell for $65. The company's costs and revenue are modeled by the following functio
