Applying Logarithmic Properties and Change Of Base
Solve for x:
6^4x=40
---------
Assuming 4x is the exponent:
6%5E%284x%29+=+40
4x*log(6) = log(40)
x+=+log%2840%29%2F%284log%286%29%29
Or x = log(40)/log(1296)

Each of the four sides of a swimmimg pool measures 9 meters. The pool is 5 meters deep. How much water will be needed to fill it completely?
--------------
9*9*5 cubic meters IF it's a square.
----
If it's a 9 by 9 parallelogram, you'll have to give more info.

x + y + z = 0
2x + 3y + 2z = -1
x - y + z = 2
---------------
Add eqn 1 and 3
2x + 2z = 2 --> x + z = 1
-------------
2x + 3y + 2z = -1
x - y + z = 2 times 3 --> 3x - 3y + 3z = 6
----
3x - 3y + 3z = 6
2x + 3y + 2z = -1 (eqn 2)
---------------------- Add
5x + 5z = 5
--> x + z = 1
----
Same as the 1st result --> dependent, no unique solution.

You are making a large triangular pennant for your school football team. The vertices of the triangle are (0,0), (0,50), and (70,20) where the coordinates are measured in inches. How many square feet of material will you need to make the pennant?
---------------------
2 points are on the y-axis --> b = 50
h = 70
Area = b*h/2 = 1750 sq inches
= 1750/144 sq feet
------------
That's the area of the pennant.
Realistically, you have to use 50*70 sq inches and cut the pennant from it.
--> 3500/144 sq ft.

It's not an equation.
Equations have equal signs.

the equation is -2%28x-3%29=3%28x-7%29
-2x+6 = 3x-21
6 = 5x-21
27 = 5x
x = 27/5
=================

-2x-5=3x-21 *** Not -2x-5
-3x -3x
-5x-5=-21
+5 +5
-5x=-27 **** You added 5 to -21, = -16 not -27
-5x\5=-27\5
x=-5.4 **** Both sides are - --> x = 5.4

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 1x%5E2%2B4x%2B-77.0309924564773+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%284%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-77.0309924564773=324.123969825909.

Discriminant d=324.123969825909 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28-4%2B-sqrt%28+324.123969825909+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.

x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%284%29%2Bsqrt%28+324.123969825909+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+7.00172163846879

Quadratic expression 1x%5E2%2B4x%2B-77.0309924564773 can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 7.00172163846879, -11.0017216384688. Here's your graph:

-----------
h(t) = -16t^2 + 30t + 5
Solve for t at h(t) = 6 feet
----
h(t) = -16t^2 + 30t + 5 = 6
-16t^2 + 30t - 1 = 0
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case -16x%5E2%2B30x%2B-1+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%2830%29%5E2-4%2A-16%2A-1=836.

Discriminant d=836 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28-30%2B-sqrt%28+836+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.
