Paydays at your company are equally spaced through the year. the paydays for one month are marked with a p on the calendar below. what is the date of the first payday in the month following the one shown? a calendar of a month with 31 days. payday is every other friday. the first payday is friday the fourth. the second payday is friday the eighteenth. a 1st b 4th c 8th d 18th e 25th

Step-by-step explanation:

A calendar of a month with 31 days. Payday is every other Friday. The first payday is Friday the fourth. The second payday is Friday the eighteenth.

First payday is on 4th.

Second payday is on 18th.

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
