Answer:

5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

So first of all 1/log_3(4) can be written as log_4(3)...

So everything is base 4 except the log_8(x^3)...

We can play with this to get it so that the base is 4.

Let y=log_8(x^3) then 8^y=x^3

Rewrite 8 as 4^(3/2) so we have

4^(3/2 *y)=x^3

Now rewriting in log form gives: log_4(x^3)=3/2*y

Then solving that for y gives 2/3*log_4(x^3) or log_4(x^2)... let's put it back into the equation:

log_4(x^2+5x)-log_4(x^2)=log_4(3)

log_4((x^2+5x)/x^2)=log_4(3)

Set insides equal:

(x^2+5x)/x^2=3

Cross multiply:

x^2+5x=3x^2

Subtract 3x^2 on both sides:

-2x^2+5x=0

Factor

-x(2x-5)=0

So solutions are 0 and 5/2.  

We have to verify these...

0 isn't going to work because we can't do log of 0

it makes x^2+5x 0 and x^3 0

The only solution is 5/2.

Answer:

x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

log4(x^2+5x)-log8(x^3)=1/log3(4)

log(x^2 + 5 x) / log(4) - log(x^3) / log(8) = log(3) / log(4)

log(x (x+5))/log(4) - log(x^3) / log(8) = log(3) / log(4)

(3 log(x (x+5)) - 2 log(x^3)) / log(64) = log(3) / log(4)

3 log(x (x+5)) - 2 log(x^3) = 3 log(3)

log((3 x)/(x+5))=0

x=5/2

What is an estimate for the square root of 150? (Do not find the exact value) Show work
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Somewhere between 12 and 13, perhaps 12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a (rather) simple explanation:

Look for 2 square numbers that are either side of 150

In this case, it is 144 and 169

The square root of 144 is 12 and the square root of 169 is 13

Therefore we can estimate that the square root of 150 is somewhere between 12 and 13.

As 150 is a lot closer to 144 to 169, I would estimate around 12.25 but you do not need an exact value :)

Solve the quadratic equation:<br> 3x^2+x-5=0
adell [148]

3x²+x-5=0

a = 3, b = 1, c= -5

-> ∆ ( delta ) = b²-4ac = 61 > 0

-> x1 =( -b+√∆ )÷ 2a =...

x2 = (-b-√∆)÷2a =...

p/s: do your teachers teach you how to use ∆ ( delta ) in maths calculation ? i live in europe and our teachers teach us that way. however, it is a rịght and fast way. you should learn it.

A unit of electricity costs 13.2 pence. On average, tanya uses 90 units of electricity per week. She pays for her bill in 12 wee
Scrat [10]

Her electricity bill will be of 14256 pence.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

On average, Tanya uses 90 units of electricity per week.

So, the <u>total units of electricity in 12 weeks</u> will be: (90*12)=1080 units

One unit of electricity costs 13.2 pence.

Thus, <u>the total cost for 1080 units</u> will be:  (13.2*1080)pence= 14256 pence.

So, her electricity bill will be of 14256 pence.
