Answer:

Therefore x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Give that,

log x+ log (x-3) = log 54

log x(x-3) =log 54             [    log_ca+log_c b=log_c(ab)   ]

x(x-3) = 54

Now expand the above equation to get a quadratic equation

x²-3x=54

⇒x²-9x+6x-54=0

⇒x(x-9)+6(x-9)=0

⇒(x-9)(x+6)=0

⇒x-9=0  or, x+6=0

⇒x=9,-6

Now putting x= -6 in the given expression,

log(-6)+log(-6-9)=log 54.

Since log (-6) does not exist.

Therefore x=9

In a football tournament, the Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets. The Wasps scored 28 more points
Elina [12.6K]

Given:

Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets.

Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets.

Together the three teams scored 184 points.

To find:

The required equation for this scenario.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of points scored by the Hornets.

Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets.

Bees score = 3x-9

Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets.

Wasps score = x+28

Together the three teams scored 184 points.

(3x-9)+x+(x+28)=184

Therefore, the required equation is (3x-9)+x+(x+28)=184.

Show all work and reasoning
Natalija [7]
Split up the interval [2, 5] into n equally spaced subintervals, then consider the value of f(x) at the right endpoint of each subinterval.

The length of the interval is 5-2=3, so the length of each subinterval would be \dfrac3n. This means the first rectangle's height would be taken to be x^2 when x=2+\dfrac3n, so that the height is \left(2+\dfrac3n\right)^2, and its base would have length \dfrac{3k}n. So the area under x^2 over the first subinterval is \left(2+\dfrac3n\right)^2\dfrac3n.

Continuing in this fashion, the area under x^2 over the kth subinterval is approximated by \left(2+\dfrac{3k}n\right)^2\dfrac{3k}n, and so the Riemann approximation to the definite integral is

\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n\left(2+\frac{3k}n\right)^2\frac{3k}n

and its value is given exactly by taking n\to\infty. So the answer is D (and the value of the integral is exactly 39).
