The incorrect step is ln(x²) = ln(3x/0) because ln(x/y) = lnx - lny and the solutions are x = 0, 3

<h3>What is a logarithm? </h3>

It is another way to represent the power of numbers, and we say that 'b' is the logarithm of 'c' with base 'a' if and only if 'a' to the power 'b' equals 'c'.

$\rm a^b = c\\log_ac =b$

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is in the picture, please refer to the attached picture.

We have:

2ln(x) = In(3x) - [In(9) - 2ln(3)]

In(x²) = In(3x) - [In(9) - In(9)]

ln(x²) = ln(3x) - 0

ln(x²) = ln(3x/0) (incorrect step)

ln(x²) = ln(3x)

x² = 3x (correct step)

x² - 3x =0

x(x - 3) = 0

x = 0, 3

Thus, the incorrect step is ln(x²) = ln(3x/0) because ln(x/y) = lnx - lny and the solutions are x = 0, 3

Use the diagram to complete the statement. Triangle J K L is shown. Angle K J L is a right angle. Angle J K L is 52 degrees and

zzz [600]

Answer:

$\bold{sin(38^\circ)=cos(52^\circ)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that $\triangle KJL$ is a right angled triangle.

$\angle JKL = 52^\circ\\\angle KLJ = 38^\circ$

and

$\angle KJL = 90^\circ$

Kindly refer to the attached image of $\triangle KJL$ in which all the given angles are shown.

To find:

sin(38°) = ?

a) cos(38°)

b) cos(52°)

c) tan(38°)

d) tan(52°)

Solution:

Let us use the trigonometric identities in the given $\triangle KJL$ .

We have to find the value of sin(38°).

We know that sine trigonometric identity is given as:

$sin\theta =\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

$sin(\angle JLK) = \dfrac{JK}{KL}\\OR\\sin(38^\circ) = \dfrac{JK}{KL}$ ....... (1)

Now, let us find out the values of trigonometric functions given in options one by one:

$cos\theta =\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}$

$cos(\angle JLK) = \dfrac{JL}{KL}\\OR\\cos(38^\circ) = \dfrac{JL}{KL}$ ....... (2)

By (1) and (2):

sin(38°) $\neq$ cos(38°).

$cos(\angle JKL) = \dfrac{JK}{KL}\\OR\\cos(52^\circ) = \dfrac{JK}{KL}$ ...... (3)

Comparing equations (1) and (3):

we get the both are same.

$\therefore \bold{sin(38^\circ)=cos(52^\circ)}$
