12-6.5 also i need help with a scenario and with a word problem the scenario is the photo i put and with two word problems ramona sees that her cat hasn"t been eating and wants him to gain more weight. If the cat weighs 6.78 pounds and the goal weight is 10.5 lbs, how much weight does Ramona want her cat to gain? these are two separate problems. Jessica is running a 5k which is about 3.1 miles at a charity event. She starts slowing down around 1.75 miles into the race. How much farther does Jessica have before reaching the finish line?

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
