Answer:

The true solution is x=4/9

EXPLANATION

The logarithmic equation given to us is

We need to use the quotient rule of logarithms.

When we apply this law the expression becomes

We now take the antilogarithm of both sides to get

We square both sides to get,

We evaluate to obtain,

This simplifies to

We divide both sides by 36 to get

We simplify to get,

answer: x =  \\ \frac{4}{9\\}

log_{2} (6x) - log_{2} (\sqrt{x}) = 2

<em>expand the expression:</em>

  • log_{2}(6x) = log_{2} (6) + log_{2} (x)
  • log_{2} (\sqrt{x}) = log_{2} (x^{\frac{1}{2} })

<em>transform the expression:</em>

  • log_{2} (x^{\frac{1}{2} }) = \frac{1}{2} * log_{2} (x)

<em>calculate the difference:</em>

  • log_{2} (x) - \frac{1}{2} * log_{2} (x) = \frac{1}{2} * log_{2} (x)

<em>multiply both sides by 2:</em>

  • log_{2} (6) + \frac{1}{2} * log_{2} (x) = 2   is now   2 log_{2} (6) + log_{2} (x) = 4

<em>transform the expression:</em>

  • 2 log_{2} (6) = log_{2} (6^{2})

<em>simplify the expression:</em>

  • log_{2} (6^{2}) + log_{2} (x) = log_{2} (6^{2} x)

<em>evaluate the power:</em>

  • log_{2} (6^{2} x) = log_{2} (36x)

<em>convert the logarithm into exponential form:</em>

  • <em />log_{2}(36x) = 4    is now   36x = 2^{4}

<em>evaluate the power:</em>

  • <em />2^{4}  = 16

<em>divide both sides by 36:</em>

  • \frac{36}{36} x  =  \frac{16}{36}   which is   x = \frac{4}{9}

What is an equation of the line, in point slope for, that passes though the given point and has the given slope? point:(7,3);slo
Airida [17]

Answer:

The equation of this line is y - 3 = 4/7(x - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, start with the base form of point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now put the slope in for m and the two coordinates in for (x1, y1).

y - 3 = 4/7(x - 7)

mixas84 [53]

A locker requires a three-digit code to open the lock. The code must contain one letter and two numbers, and no letter or number can be repeated. You can choose from among four letters, A, B, C, and D, and two numbers, 5 and 6.

The size of the sample space is: (8, 16, 20, 24)

If a code is chosen at random, the probability that it has a letter that immediately follows an odd number is: (1/8, 1/6, 1/3, 2/5, 2/3)

If a code is chosen at random, the probability that D is in the code but is not in the first position is: (1/8, 1/6, 1/3, 2/5, 2/3)
