If I understand your question well, I suppose you mean $\frac{4}{ x^{2} -35} - \frac{1}{x+5}$
$\frac{4}{ x^{2} -35} - \frac{1}{x+5} = \frac{4}{(x+5)(x-7)}- \frac{1}{x+5} \\ = \frac{1}{x+5}( \frac{4}{x-7}-1) \\ = \frac{1}{x+5}( \frac{4}{x-7}- \frac{x-7}{x-7}) \\ = \frac{1}{x+5}( \frac{4-x+7}{x-7}) \\ = \frac{1}{x+5}( \frac{11-x}{x-7}) \\ = \frac{11-x}{ x^{2} -35}$

Complete the steps to evaluate the following expression, given log3a = −0.631.

Zielflug [23.3K]

$\log _{3}(3)=1$ and $\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}=-1.631$

Solution:

Given value $\log _{3} a=-0.631$ .

To evaluate the expression $\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}$ .

Using logarithmic rule: $\log _{b}\left(\frac{M}{N}\right)=\log _{b}(M)-\log _{b}(N)$

$$\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}=\log _{3}(a)-\log _{3}(3)$

We know that $\log _{3} a=-0.631$ .

$$\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}=-0.631-\log _{3}(3)$

Using another logarithmic rule: $\log _{b} b=1$

$$\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}=-0.631-1$

$$\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}=-1.631$

Hence $\log _{3}(3)=1$ and $\log _{3} \frac{a}{3}=-1.631$ .

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

12^2 + x^2 = 13^2

144 + x^2 = 169

x^2 = 25

square root both sides

x = 5

to check, do 12^2 + 5^2 =169

sqrt of 169 is 13
