Answer:

The first term is 3. The common difference is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is x.

The common difference is d.

The second term is x + d.

3rd term: x + 2d

4th term: x + 3d

7th term: x + 6d

"The fourth term of an Arithmetic Sequence is equal to 3 times the first term"

x + 3d = 3 * x       Eq. 1

"the seventh term exceeds twice the third term by 1"

x + 6d = 2(x + 2d) + 1       Eq. 2

Simplify Eq. 1:

2x = 3d

Simplify Eq. 2:

x + 6d = 2x + 4d + 1

x = 2d - 1

Multiply both sides of the last equation by 2.

2x = 4d - 2

2x = 3d   (simplified Eq. 1)

Since 2x = 2x, then the right sides are equal.

3d = 4d - 2

d = 2

2x = 3d

2x = 3(2)

2x = 6

x = 3

Answer: The first term is 3. The common difference is 2.

Find the solutions <br> x^2=16x-28
ioda
Minus 16x both sides and add 28 to both sides
x^2-16x+28=0
factor
hmm, what 2 numbers multiply to 28 and add to -16
hmm
1 and 28? nope
2 and 14? yep
since middle term is negative and last tem is positive, both of the factors are negative

(x-14)(x-2)=0
set each to zero
x-14=0
x=14

x-2=0
x=2

x=2 and 14

Use the product, quotient, and power rules of logarithms to rewrite the expression as a single logarithm. Assume that all variab
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

log(x^7·y^2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules are ...

... log(a^b) = b·log(a)

... log(ab) = log(a) +log(b)

_____

The first term, 7log(x) can be rewritten as log(x^7). Note that an exponentiation operator is needed when this is written as text.

The second term 2log(y) can be rewritten as log(y^2). These two rewrites make use of the first rule above.

Now, you have the sum ...

... log(x^7) +log(y^2)

The second rule tells you this can be rewritten as ...

... log(x^7·y^2) . . . . . seems to match the intent of the 3rd selection
