Why is it that -log(x+8)=4-log(x-7) has no solution? (they are log base 2)

Delvig [45]2 years ago

Note that -log(x+8) + log(x-7) = 4, and that the left side is equal to

            x-7
log ------------- 
            x-8

Therefore, 

            x-7
log ------------- = 4
            x-8

Acknowledging that your "log" actually represents "log to the base 2 of ... "

We get:

   x-7
--------- = 2^4 = 16
   x-8

Can this be solved for x?  

Rearranging,         x-7 = 16x - 128, or -7 = 15x - 128, or 121 = 15x
                                                    121
Dividing 121 by 15, we get   x = -------  = 121/15 = approx. 8.067.
                                                      15

                                                      
So far I see no reason why the given <span>-log(x+8)=4-log(x-7) "has no solution."</span>

-log(x+8)=4-log(x-7) 

-\log _{10}\left(x+8\right)+\log _{10}\left(x+8\right)=4-\log _{10}\left(x-7\right)+\log _{10}\left(x+8\right) 

0=4-\log _{10}\left(x-7\right)+\log _{10}\left(x+8\right) 

0+\log _{10}\left(x-7\right)=4-\log _{10}\left(x-7\right)+\log _{10}\left(x+8\right)+\log _{10}\left(x-7\right) 

\log _{10}\left(x-7\right)=\log _{10}\left(x+8\right)+4 

\log _{10}\left(x-7\right)=\log _{10}\left(x+8\right)+\log _{10}\left(10000\right) 

x-7=\left(x+8\right)\cdot \:10000 

\mathrm{Solve\:}\:x-7=\left(x+8\right)10000:\quad x=-\dfrac{26669}{3333} 

\mathrm{Verifying\:Solutions}:\quad x=-\dfrac{26669}{3333}\space\mathrm{False} 

\mathrm{No\:Solution\:for\:x\in \mathbb{R}}

One sphere has a radius of 3 inches and another sphere has a radius of 6 inches. The volume of the larger sphere is about how ma
NikAS [45]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we need to recognize that the formula for the volume of a sphere is \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3.

Then, we can plug in our r values one at a time.

The volume for the sphere with a 6-inch radius is about 904.779.

The volume for the sphere with a 3-inch radius is about 113.097.

To find how much greater the larger sphere is, we simply create a ratio between the two numbers: \frac{904.779}{113.097}

Do the division to find that the volume of the larger sphere is about 8 times the volume of the smaller sphere.

In triangle abc angle a +angle b =90 then sin a =
Ivan

Answer:

sin(a)=cos(b)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the triangle abc

if m\angle a+m\angle b=90^o

then

m\angle c=90^o

Because, the sum of the interior angles in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

therefore

Triangle abc is a right triangle

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

The sine of angle a is equal to divide the opposite side to angle a by the hypotenuse

so

sin(a)=\frac{x}{z}

The cosine of angle b is equal to divide the adjacent side to angle b by the hypotenuse

so

cos(b)=\frac{x}{z}

therefore

sin(a)=cos(b)

When two angles are complementary, the sine of one angle is equal to the cosine of the other angle and the cosine of one angle is equal to the sine of the other angle

so

sin(a)=cos(b)

cos(a)=sin(b)
