Answer:

The original price of the coat is $44.67

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we need to start with the cost after the discount. We can then divide this by the amount in percentage that we paid. Since it is 25% off, we paid 75%.

$33.50/75% = $44.67

Information reference tables what is the solution set of the equation log4 (x2 + 3x) − log4 (x + 5) = 1?

faust18 [17]

Use this property of logarithms:

$\log_b\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right)=\log_b x-\log_b y$

Your equation transforms into:

$log_4\left(\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5}\right)=1$

Now, you have to apply the definition of a logarithm to express the equation in exponential form:

$\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5} = 4^1$

In case you don't remember, this is the definition of a logarithm:

$\log_b x = y \iff b^y = x$

The log is the exponent (y) you have to raise the base (b) to in order to get the power (x).

Finally, solve the rational equation:

$\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5} =4 \iff x^2+3x=4(x+5)$
$\iff x^2-x-20=0$
$\iff x=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4\cdot(-20)}}{2}= \left \{ {{5} \atop {-4}} \right.$

The correct answer is d.
