Answer:

AC = 30 units

Step-by-step explanation:

if AB = BC, then this is an isosceles triangle.

further BX intersects the base (AC) of the isosceles triangle at a right angle.

This means that the line of symmetry BX divides triangle ABC into two congruent triangles where AX = CX.

hence AC is

AX + CX

= CX + CX

= 15 + 15

= 30 units

What is the solution to the equation below? Round your answer to two decimal places? (apex) 5+8*In x=15.8

Sliva [168]

Option A : $x=3.86$ is the solution of the equation.

Explanation:

The equation is $5+8 \ln x=15.8$

To determine the value of x, let us simplify the equation.

Subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation, we have,

$5+\ 8 \ ln \ x-5=15.8-5$

Simplifying, we get,

$8 \ ln \ x= 10.8$

Now , dividing both sides of the equation by 8, we get,

$\ ln \ x=1.35$

Using the logarithmic definition that if $\log _{a}(b)=c$ then $b=a^{c}$

Thus, rewriting the above expression $\ ln \ x=1.35$ using the logarithmic definition, we have,

$\ln \ x =1.35$ ⇒ $x=e^{1.35}$

Substituting the value of $e^{1.35}$=3.85742...$ , we get,

$x=3.85742 \ldots$

Rounding off the answer to two decimal places, we get,

$x=3.86$

Hence, the solution of the equation is $x=3.86$

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.
