Which is 2logx - 6 log(x-9) written as a single logarithm.

Anton [14]

Answer: option c

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must keep on mind the properties of logarithms:

$log(b)-log(a)=log(\frac{b}{a})\\\\log(b)+log(a)=log(ba)\\\\a*log(b)=log(b)^a$

Therefore, knowing the properties, you can write the expression gven in the problem as shown below:

$2logx-6log(x-9)\\logx^2-log(x-9)^6\\\\log\frac{x^2}{(x-9)^6}$

Find the value of the remaining variable in the formula. Use 3.14 as an approximation for a (pi).

Answer:

P = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula for the perimeter 'P' of a rectangle is,

P = 2L + 2W

If the values of L and W are,

L = 4 and W = 2

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + W)

= 2(4 + 2)

= 2 × 6

= 12 units

Therefore, value of remaining variable 'Perimeter' = 12 units

(There is no use of 'pi' in calculating the perimeter of a rectangle).
