According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) of a right-angled triangle equals to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the ladder is the hypotenuse, which equals to the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the tree + the distance we want to find (x):
5² + x² = 13²
25 + x² = 169
x² = 144
x = √144 = 12.
The distance between the ground and the top of the ladder is 12 ft.

What is log15 2^3 rewritten using the power property?
OlgaM077 [116]

ANSWER

log_{15}( {2}^{3} )  = 3 \: log_{15}( {2} )

EXPLANATION

According to the power property of logarithms:

log_{x}( {y}^{n} )  = n \: log_{x}( {y} )

The given logarithm is

log_{15}( {2}^{3} )

When we apply the power property to this logarithm, we get,

log_{15}( {2}^{3} )  = 3 \: log_{15}( {2} )

f(x)=3x-23,\ g(x)=-4.5x+7\\\\f(x)=g(x)\iff3x-23=-4.5x+7\qquad\text{add 23 to both sides}\\\\3x=-4.5x+30\qquad\text{add 4.5x to both sides}\\\\7.5x=30\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7.5}\\\\\boxed{x=4}
