Order the steps to solve the equation log(x^2-15)=log(2x) form 1 to 5

Mathematics

Answer:x=-5 and x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

log(x^2-15)=log(2x)

Cancel log at both sides we get

x^2-15=2x

Collect like terms

x^2-2x-15=0

x^2-3x+5x-15=0

x(x-3)+5(x-3)=0

(x+5)(x-3)=0

x+5=0 x-3=0

x=-5 x=3

Which piece wise function is graphed below
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is how to approach the problem:

We see that all our restrictions for all four answer choices are relatively the same with a couple of changes here and there.
One way to eliminate choices would be to look at which restrictions don't match the graph.

At x<-5, there is a linear function that does have a -2 slope and will intersect the x axis at -7. The line ends with an open circle, so any answer choice with a linear restriction of x less than or equal to -5 is wrong. This cancels out choices C and D.

Now we have two choices left.

For the quadratic in the middle, the vertex is at (-2,6) and the vertex is a maximum, meaning our graph needs to have a negative sign in front of the highest degree term. In our case, none of our quadratics left are in standard form, and instead are in vertex form.

Vertext form is f(x) = a(x-h)^2 + k.

h being the x-coordinate of the vertex and k being the y-coordinate.

We know that the opposite of h will be the actual x-coordinate of the vertex, so if our vertex is -2, we will see x+2 inside the parenthesis. This leaves option A as the only correct choice.

Miguel bikes 23 km per hour and starts at mile 10. Gabby bikes 28 km per hour and starts at mile 0. Which system of linear equat
7nadin3 [17]
The correct answer is D) Miguel:  d=23t+10, Gabby d=28t

We multiply the speed of each person by t, the amount of time.  This is where the 23t in Miguel's equation and the 28t in Gabby's equation come from.  The starting point is added to this, which leads to 23t+10 and 28t+0 or 28t.

F(x) = x2 − x − ln(x) (a) find the interval on which f is increasing. (enter your answer using interval notation.) find the inte
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

(a) Decreasing on (0, 1) and increasing on (1, ∞)

(b) Local minimum at (1, 0)

(c) No inflection point; concave up on (0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

ƒ(x) = x² - x – lnx

(a) Intervals in which ƒ(x) is increasing and decreasing.

Step 1. Find the zeros of the first derivative of the function

ƒ'(x) = 2x – 1 - 1/x = 0

           2x² - x  -1 = 0

     ( x - 1) (2x + 1) = 0

         x = 1 or x = -½

We reject the negative root, because the argument of lnx cannot be negative.

There is one zero at (1, 0). This is your critical point.

Step 2. Apply the first derivative test.

Test all intervals to the left and to the right of the critical value to determine if the derivative is positive or negative.

(1) x = ½

ƒ'(½) = 2(½) - 1 - 1/(½) = 1 - 1 - 2 = -1

ƒ'(x) < 0 so the function is decreasing on (0, 1).

(2) x = 2

ƒ'(0) = 2(2) -1 – 1/2 = 4 - 1 – ½  = ⁵/₂

ƒ'(x) > 0 so the function is increasing on (1, ∞).

(b) Local extremum

ƒ(x) is decreasing when x < 1 and increasing when x >1.

Thus, (1, 0) is a local minimum, and ƒ(x) = 0 when x = 1.

(c) Inflection point

(1) Set the second derivative equal to zero

ƒ''(x) = 2 + 2/x² = 0

             x² + 2 = 0

                   x² = -2

There is no inflection point.

(2). Concavity

Apply the second derivative test on either side of the extremum.

\begin{array}{lccc}\text{Test} & x < 1 & x = 1 & x > 1\\\text{Sign of f''} & + & 0 & +\\\text{Concavity} & \text{up} & &\text{up}\\\end{array}

The function is concave up on (0, ∞).

A sinusoidal carrier wave has an amplitude of 5 volts, a frequency of 1MHz, and zero phase angle. Select the correct carrier wav
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wave equation is given generally as:

c(x, t) = Acos(kx - wt)

Where A = amplitude

k = wave number

w = angular frequency.

x = horizontal distance moves by the wave.

t = time

The options show to us that the wave depends only on t and not (x, t).

Hence, the wave equation becomes:

c(t) = Acos(wt)

Given that:

A = 5 V

f = 1 * 10⁶ Hz

Angular Frequency, w, is given as:

w = 2πf

w = 2 * π * 1 * 10⁶ Hz

w = 2π(1 * 10⁶)

The wave equation becomes:

c(t) = 5cos(2*π*1*10⁶)

The correct answer is b.
