erms of its width, w?
a.) A = 36w - w^2
b.) A = 18w - w^2
c.) A = 36 - w^2
d.) A = 18 - w^2

Perimeter=2(l+w)
36=2(l+w)
(l+w)=18
l=18-w

area of a rectangle=w*l

put value of l here
Area=w*(18-w)
Area=18w-w^2

What are the potential solutions of log4x+log4(x+6)=2?

lions [1.4K]

The potential solutions of $log_4x+log_4(x+6)=2$ are 2 and -8.

<h3>Properties of Logarithms</h3>

From the properties of logarithms, you can rewrite logarithmic expressions.

The main properties are:

Product Rule for Logarithms - $log_{b}(a*c)=log_{b}a+log_{b}c$
Quotient Rule for Logarithms - $log_{b}(\frac{a}{c} )=log_{b}a-log_{b}c$
Power Rule for Logarithms - $log_{b}(a^c)=c*log_{b}a$

The exercise asks the potential solutions for $log_4x+log_4(x+6)=2$ . In this expression you can apply the Product Rule for Logarithms.

$log_4x+log_4(x+6)=2\\ \\ x*(x+6)=4^2\\ \\ x^2+6x=16\\ \\ x^2+6x-16=0$

Now you should solve the quadratic equation.

Δ= $b^2-4ac=36-4*1*(-16)=36+64=100$ . Thus, x will be $x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-6\pm \:\sqrt{100} }{2\cdot \:1}=\frac{-6\pm \:10}{2}$ . Then:

$x_1=\frac{-6+10}{2}=\frac{4}{2} =2\\ \\ \:x_2=\frac{-6-10}{2}=\frac{-16}{2} =-8$

The potential solutions are 2 and -8.

You have $83 in your bank account each week you plan to deposit eight dollars from your allowance and $15 from your paycheck the

docker41 [41]

We know that you have 83$ in your bank account.

Okay so what is 15+8=23 So that means you get 23$ per week.

Now what is 83+23=106
106+23=129
129+23=152
152+23=175
Now that was four 23's

That means it would take 4 weeks for you to have 175 dollars in your bank account.
Hope this helped.
