If (0.2)x = 2 and log 2 = 0.3010, then the value of x to the nearest tenth is:
(a) -10.0, (b) -0.5, (c) -0.4, (d) -0.2, (e) 10.0

23

step-by-step explanation:

because it is

answer: c

(0.2)x = 2.

taking log on both sides  

log (0.2)x = log 2.

x log (0.2) = 0.3010, [since log 2 = 0.3010].

x log (2/10) = 0.3010.

x [log 2 - log 10] = 0.3010.

x [log 2 - 1] = 0.3010,[since log 10=1].

x [0.3010 -1] = 0.3010, [since log 2 = 0.3010].

x[-0.699] = 0.3010.

x = 0.3010/-0.699.

x = -0.4306….

x = -0.4 (nearest tenth)

step-by-step explanation:

point a is the center of the circle that passes through points e, f, and g and the center of the circle that passes through points x, y, and z.
