What is the value of x in the equation log(x+2) - log(x-1) = log 2

pentagon [3]

Step-by-step explanation:

log(x+2)-log(x-1)=log2

log(x+2)/(x-1)=log2

=> (x+2)=2(x-1)

=>x+2 =2x-2

Given the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, ..., which term is 59? (Hint: find n.)

____ [38]

N = 3 ( the next number is 3 plus the previous number
sequence formula = an = 3(n-1) +2

so for term the term that =59

59 = 3(n-1) +2

distribute:
59 = 3n -3+2

59 = 3n -1

60 = 3n
n = 60/3
n = 20

59 is the 20th term

Find the slope of the line that is parallel and perpendicular <br><br> -7x-2y=4

Rus_ich [418]

$\bf -7x-2y=4\implies -2y=7x+4\implies y=\cfrac{7x+4}{-2}\implies y=\cfrac{7x}{-2}+\cfrac{4}{-2} \\\\\\ y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{7}{2}} x-2\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{7}{2}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{2}{7}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{\cfrac{2}{7}}}$

now, what's the slope of a line parallel to that one above? well, parallel lines have exactly the same slope.
