Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{-3+\sqrt{40+10\sqrt{10}}}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

2\log x=3-2\log(x+3)\\\\Domain:\ x>0\ \wedge\ x+3>0\to x>-3\\\\D:x>0\\============================\\2\log x=3-2\log(x+3)\qquad\text{add}\ 2\log(x+3)\ \text{to both sides}\\\\2\log x+2\log(x+3)=3\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\log x+\log(x+3)=\dfrac{3}{2}\qquad\text{use}\ \log_ab+\log_ac=\log_a(bc)\\\\\log\bigg(x(x+3)\bigg)=\dfrac{3}{2}\qquad\text{use the de}\text{finition of a logarithm}\\\\x(x+3)=10^\frac{3}{2}\qquad\text{use the distributive property}

x^2+3x=10^{1\frac{1}{2}}\\\\x^2+3x=10^{1+\frac{1}{2}}\qquad\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\x^2+3x=10\cdot10^\frac{1}{2}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt[n]{a}=a^\frac{1}{n}\\\\x^2+3x=10\sqrt{10}\qquad\text{subtract}\ 10\sqrt{10}\ \text{from both sides}\\\\x^2+3x-10\sqrt{10}=0\\\\\text{Use the quadratic formula}\\\\ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\a=1,\ b=3,\ c=-10\sqrt{10}\\\\b^2-4ac=3^2-4(1)(-10\sqrt{10})=9+40\sqrt{10}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{40+10\sqrt{10}}}{2(1)}=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{40+10\sqrt{10}}}{2}\\\\x=\dfrac{-3-\sqrt{10+10\sqrt{10}}}{2}\notin D

What is the radius of the circle given by the equation below? x2 - 2x + y2 - 2y - 98 = 0?
valina [46]
Complete the square for the given equation
x² - 2x + ____ + y² - 2y + _____ = 98
x² - 2x + (1) + y² - 2y + (1) = 98 + (1) + (1)
(x - 1)² + (x - 1)² = 100
(x - 1)² + (x - 1)² = 10²

Now the equation is in the form (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Radius = 10

The product of 3/4 and 7/8 is less than 7/8?
luda_lava [24]
0.65625 is the decimal product of the fractions 3/4 & 7/8 whereas 7/8 can be simplified to 0.875 in decimal form... comparing both the values, we see that 7/8 is greater than the product of 3/4 and 7/8.
