The intersecting chords theorem states that whenever two chords intersect, the product of their pieces is constant.

So, in this case, we have

\overline{RW}\cdot\overline{WP}=\overline{SW}\cdot\overline{WQ}

Plugging your values, we have

8\cdot 9 = 6x \cdot 12x \iff 72=72x^2 \iff x^2=1

This equation has solutions x=\pm 1, but we can't choose x=-1, because it would lead to

\overline{SW}=-6,\quad\overline{WQ}=-12

So, the only feasible solutions is x=1

Which logarithmic equation is equivalent to 25 = 32? log232 = 5 log532 = 2 log325 = 2 log25 = 32.
LiRa [457]

Logarithmic function is the inverse of the exponential function. The logarithmic function that is equivalent to 2⁵ = 32 is log₂32=5.

<h3>What is the Logarithm function?</h3>

A log function is a way to find how much a number must be raised in order to get the desired number.

a^c =b

can be written as

\rm{log_ab=c

where a is the base to which the power is to be raised,

b is the desired number that we want when power is to be raised,

c is the power that must be raised to a to get b.

Given to us

2⁵ = 32

As we know that we can convert a number powered to another number therefore exponential function into a log function, thus,

2^5 = 32\\\\\rm log_2 32 = 5

Hence, the logarithmic function that is equivalent to 2⁵ = 32 is log₂32=5.
