Answer asap. i really do not know how to do it and i need to turn it in or i am kicked out of the class. need to submit it.
solve 4x+2 = 12 for x using the change of base formula log base b of y equals log y over log b.
a. −1.442114
b. −0.207519
c. 2.55789
d. 3.79248

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752

the answer is 15% decrease
