Elsa's answer is incorrect since there is a solution of the given equation. In the given logarithmic problem, we need to simplify the problem by transposing log2(3x+5) in the opposite side. The equation will now be log2x-log2(3x+5)=4. Using properties of logarithm, we further simplify the problem into a new form log (2x/6x+10)=4. Then transform the equation into base form 10^4=(2x/6x+10) and proceed in solving for x value which is equal to 1.667.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If y varies directly with x, it is:
Constant is -2, it means k= -2
Y = k / x² ( y varies inversely as the square of x )
y = 1/8 when x = 1:
1/8 = k / 1²
8 k = 1
k = 1/8
For x = 5:
y = 1/8 / 5² = 1/8 : 25 = 1/8 · 1/25 = 1/200
Answer: A ) 1/200
