Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

I used the Pythagorean theorem to answer this question.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

15^2 + 8^2 = c^2

225 + 64 = c^2

289=c^2

c^2=289

c=√289

c=17 feet

Find the angle between each of the following pair of straight line x-2y+3=0 and y=3x

-59.744
That’s when you solve for x and y in the equation x= 3/4 and y=-9/7
Tan inverse of y/x gives u -59.744

I need help on a mathematics question. I need an explanation.

Natali [406]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1- To solve the logarithm expression $2 log x = log 64$ , you must apply the following properties:

$alogx=logx^{a}$

$logx-logy=log(x/y)$

$a^{log(a)x}=x$

2-Keeping this on mind, you have:

$log x^{2}-log 64=0\\ log(x^{2} /64)=0\\ 10^{log(x^{2} /64)} =10^{0} \\ x^{2} /64=1$

3. Now, solve for $x$ :

$x=\sqrt{64}\\ x=8, x=-8$

4. If you susbtitute $x=-8$ into the expression shown in the problem, you will see that it is invalid.

Therefore. the answer is: $x=8$ .
