Answer:

A) x = (-8log(6)-2log(17))/(-2log(17)+log(6))

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the logarithm of the equation, you have ...

(x+8)log(6) = (2x-2)log(17)

Subtracting the right side from the equation gives ...

x(log(6) -2log(17)) +8log(6)+2log(17) = 0

Subtracting the constant and dividing by the coefficient of x gives ...

x = -(8log(6) +2log(17))/(log(6) -2log(17)) . . . . . matches selection A

___

You don't need to work out the whole solution to determine the correct answer choice. Once you take the initial log, you find that the x-coefficient includes a multiplier of 2log(17). This term only appears in the denominator of choice A. (The value of x will be found after dividing by the x-coefficient, so you know this must show up in the denominator of the answer.)

Please help with this geometry question

Andrew [12]

It has been proven that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.

<h3>How to prove a Line Segment?</h3>

We know that in a triangle if one angle is 90 degrees, then the other angles have to be acute.

Let us take a line l and from point P as shown in the attached file, that is, not on line l, draw two line segments PN and PM. Let PN be perpendicular to line l and PM is drawn at some other angle.

In ΔPNM, ∠N = 90°

∠P + ∠N + ∠M = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)

∠P + ∠M = 90°

Clearly, ∠M is an acute angle.

Thus; ∠M < ∠N

PN < PM (The side opposite to the smaller angle is smaller)

Similarly, by drawing different line segments from P to l, it can be proved that PN is smaller in comparison to all of them. Therefore, it can be observed that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.

A fair die is tossed once, what is the probability of obtaining neither 5 nor 2?

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

4/6 or 66.666...%

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find the probability of obtaining neither a 5 nor a 2 you find how many times they occur and add them together in this case 5 occurs once and 2 also occurs once out of 6 numbers so 1/6 + 1/6 equals 2/6, you now know that 4/6 of them won't be a 5 nor a 2 and because it is a fair die the likelihood of it falling on a number is the same for all sides so the answer is 4/6 or 66.67%.
