Answer:

Squaring both the sides, we get a quadratic and solving it, we find that the possible values of x are -7 and -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression can be written as √(x+8) - 6 = x. Take 6 on the other side and square both the sides.

[√(x + 8)]² = (x + 6)²

x + 8 = x² + 12x + 36

x² + 11x + 28 = 0

x² + 7x + 4x + 28 = 0

(x + 7)(x + 4) = 0

x = -7 and x = -4

The possible values of x are -7 and -4.

The Dittany family's vegetable garden is shaped like a scalene triangle. Two of the sides measure 6 feet and 10 feet. Which coul

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The length of the third side could be 9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u>The Triangle Inequality Theorem</u> states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

In this problem

Let

c-----> the length of the third side, in feet

Applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem

1) $6+10>c$ -------> $c$

2) $c+6>10$ -----> $c>4\ ft$

The length of the third side must be greater than 4 ft and less than 16 ft

Remember that

The scalene triangle has three different sides

therefore

The length of the third side could be 9 ft

Given loga (m) = 10 and loga (n) = 25 , find loga (m * n ^ 2)

mina [271]

The result of the log function $log_a (m * n ^ 2)$ is 60

According to the law of logarithm if $log_ab=y$ then $b=a^y$

Given the following expressions

$log_am=10\\log_an=25$

This can be expressed as

$m =a^{10} \ and \ n = a^{25}$

Substitute the value of m and n into the expression $log_a (m * n ^ 2)$ to have:

$log_a (m * n ^ 2) = log_a(a^{10}\times a^{50})\\=log_aa^{60}\\=60log_aa\\=60(1) \\= 60$

This shows that the result of the log function $log_a (m * n ^ 2)$ is 60
