Create an equation using the formula for area of a rectangle; area = width * length
(X + 2)(x + 3) = 600
Multiply the dimensions.
X^2 + 3x + 2x +6 = 600, or simplified x^2 +5x + 6 = 600.
Subtract 600 to get the following:
X^2 + 5x - 594 = 0
Factor by x:
(X - 22)(x + 27) = 0
Solve for x
X - 22 = 0
X = 22.
Use the POSITIVE VALUE of x as you can’t have a negative area for a room.
Then substitute 22 for x to get the dimensions
(22+ 2) or 24 for length and (22+3) or 25 for width.

Expanding logarithmic Expression In Exercise,Use the properties of logarithms to rewrite the expression as a sum,difference,or m

wel

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}ln(2x)-\frac{1}{2}ln(x^2-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2x/(x^2 - 1)1/2

$ln(\frac{2x}{x^2-1} )^\frac{1}{2}$

Apply the property of natural log

ln x^m = m ln(x) move the exponent before ln

$ln(\frac{2x}{x^2-1} )^\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}ln(\frac{2x}{x^2-1})$

ln(m/n)= ln m - ln n

$\frac{1}{2}(ln(2x)-ln(x^2-1))$

multiply 1/2 inside the terms

$\frac{1}{2}ln(2x)-\frac{1}{2}ln(x^2-1)$

$\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}$

$(4 + 6v + 3 {v}^{3} ) - (5v + 8 {v}^{4} - 1)$

➼ $\: 4 + 6v + 3 {v}^{3} - 5v - 8 {v}^{4} + 1$
