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

Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (03.03 LC) If a figure has been dilated by a scale factor of 4, which statement expla
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

A translation can map one angle unto another since dilations preserve angle measures of triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

The dilation of the figure by a scale factor of 4 gives an image that is 4 times the size of the original figure. However, the interior angles of the image and the original figure remain the same

A translation is a rigid transformation, such that the image and the preimage of a translation transformation have the same dimensions and angles

A translation of three consecutive non-linear points of the dilated image to the vertex and the two lines joining the corresponding point on the image, translates the angle at the given vertex

The above process can be repeated, to translate a second angle from the image to the preimage, from which it can be shown that the two figures are similar using Angle Angle, AA, similarity postulate
