Answer:

B. x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't speak to the first part of this question, as I don't totally have context for what they're asking, but we <em>can </em>solve for x using one of the laws of logarithms, namely:

\log_bm+\log_bn=\log_bmn

Using this law, we can combine and rewrite our initial equation as

\log_2(x\cdot(x-2))=3\\\log_2(x^2-2x)=3

Remember that logarithms are simply another way of writing exponents. The logarithm \log_28=3 is just another way of writing the fact 2^3=8. Keeping that in mind, we can express our logarithm in terms of exponents as

\log_2(x^2-2x)=3\rightarrow2^3=x^2-2x

2³ = 8, so we can replace the left side of our equation with 8 to get

8 = x^2-2x

Moving the 8 to the other side:

0=x^2-2x-8

We can now factor the expression on the right to find solutions for x:

0=(x-4)(x+2)\\x=4, -2

The only option which agrees with our solution is B.

Answer:

The answer is:

        y_1=\dfrac{\log x}{\log 2}+\dfrac{\log (x-2)}{\log 2}\ ,\ y_2=3\ ,\ x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a logarithmic expression as:

\log_2 x+log_2 (x-2)=3

As we know that:

\log_a x=\dfrac{\log x}{\log a}

Hence, we get the logarithmic expression as follows:

\dfrac{\log x}{\log 2}+\dfrac{\log (x-2)}{\log 2}=3

We know that we can get the system of equations as follows:

y_1=\dfrac{\log x}{\log 2}+\dfrac{\log (x-2)}{\log 2}

and

y_2=3

Hence, when we plot the graph for this system of equations we see that the point of intersection of the graph is: (4,3)

Hence, the solution is the x-value of the point of intersection of the two equations.

Hence, x=4 is the solution.

Hence, the correct option is:

  y_1=\dfrac{\log x}{\log 2}+\dfrac{\log (x-2)}{\log 2}\ ,\ y_2=3\ ,\ x=4

in a box full of oranges, apples, and pears in a ratio 2:5:6. What is the total weight of the fruits in the box if it was known
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

31.2 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 2x = weight of oranges

5x = weight of apples

6x = weight of pears

2x + 5x + 6x = total weight

2x = 4.8

x = 2.4

4.8 + 5(2.4) + 6(2.4) = 4.8 + 12 + 14.4

= 31.2 lbs

Solve the equation cot 2x + cot x =3
rusak2 [61]

tan2x*cotx - 3 = 0

We know that: tan2x = sin2x/cos2x and cotx = cosx/sinx

==> sin2x/cos2x *cosx/sinx = 3

Now we know that sin2x = 2sinx*cosx

==> 2sinxcosx/cos2x * cosx/sinx = 3

Reduce sinx:

==> 2cos^2 x/ cos2x = 3

Now we know that cos2x = 2cos^2 x-1

==> 2cos^2 x/(2cos^2 x -1) = 3

==> 2cos^2 x = 3(2cos^2 x -1)

==> 2cos^2 x = 6cos^2 x - 3

==> -4cos^2 x= -3

==> 4cos^2 x = 3

==> cos^2 x = 3/4

==> cosx = +-sqrt3/ 2
