²log(x+2)+²log(x-2)≤²log5
1 answer:
I believe you meant to write
?
If that's the case I'll solve the one I provided but I'll drop the base 2 to type it faster but you need to put it always!
Remember: log a + log b = log (a*b)
So log (x+2) + log (x-2) = log [(x+2)*(x-2)] = log (x^2 - 4)
Now back to the inequality:
log (x^2 - 4) <span>≤ log 5
Raise both sides as powers of 2 ( Since it's the base of your log)
Now,
x^2 - 4 </span><span>≤ 5
Add 4 both sides:
x^2 </span>≤ 9
Square root both sides
x ≤ +3 or x ≤ -3
Reject the -3 solution as it makes both (x + 2) and (x - 2) negative and a log can never have a negative value inside its brackets.
So x <span>≤ 3 But can never be less than 2 as well for the same previous reason.
Hope that helped.</span>

Answer:
- f(x) should be reflected across the y-axis
- f(x) should be horizontally translated
Step-by-step explanation:
We imagine Jenessa's elevation plots might look like those in the attachment. The red graph would be of f(x) when preparing for the race, and the green graph would be f(x) during the race.
The green graph is not a simple reflection or translation of the red graph, but is a combination of both. Thus, the two answer choices shown above are both applicable.
