1. Find $x$ if $\log_9(2x-7) = \dfrac{3}{2}$.

2. Calculate $\sqrt{10p} \cdot \sqrt{5p^2} \cdot \sqrt{6p^4}$ . Express your answer in simplest radical form in terms of $p$.  Note: When entering a square root with more than one character, you must use parentheses or brackets. For example, you should enter $\sqrt{14}$ as "sqrt(14)" or "sqrt{14}".

3. Find all solutions $x$ of the inequality $$\frac{5}{24} + \left|x-\frac{11}{48}\right| < \frac{5}{16}.$$Express your answer in interval notation, simplifying all fractions in your answer.

1. log9(2x-7)=1.5

logab = c means that a= b

So this equation means that:

9 to the power of 1.5 is equal to (2x-7)

9^1.5 = 2x - 7

Since 9^1.5 = 27, 2x - 7 = 27

Solving for x, we have that x = 17.

2. √(10p) * √(5p^2) * √(6p^4)

= √(300p^7)

= 10p^3√(3p)

$$\frac{5}{24} + \left|x-\frac{11}{48}\right| < \frac{5}{16}$$

subtract 5/24 from both sides

l x - 11/48  l  < 5/16 - 5/24

l x - 11/48 l  <  15/48 - 10/48

l x -  11/48 l  <  5/48        we have two equations, here

x - 11/48 < 5/48            x  - 11/48 >  - 5/48

x < 16/48                   x  > 6/48

x < 1/3                x > 1/8

x  = ( 1/8 ,  1/3)
