Answer:
It is 1/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply the rule a/c +- b/c = a+-b/c
=8-7/11
=1/11
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Method 1: Taking the log of both sides...
So take the log of both sides...
5^(2x + 1) = 25
log 5^(2x + 1) = log 25 <-- use property: log (a^x) = x log a...
(2x + 1)log 5 = log 25 <-- distribute log 5 inside the brackets...
(2x)log 5 + log 5 = log 25 <-- subtract log 5 both sides of the equation...
(2x)log 5 + log 5 - log 5 = log 25 - log 5
(2x)log 5 = log (25/5) <-- use property: log a - log b = log (a/b)
(2x)log 5 = log 5 <-- divide both sides by log 5
(2x)log 5 / log 5 = log 5 / log 5 <--- this equals 1..
2x = 1
x=1/2
Method 2
5^(2x+1)=5^2
2x+1=2
2x=1
x=1/2
In a quadratic equation
q(x) = ax^2 + bx + c
The discriminant is = b^2 - 4ac
We have that discriminant = 3
If
b^2 - 4ac > 0, then the roots are real.
If
b^2 - 4ac < 0 then the roots are imaginary
<span>In
this problem b^2 - 4ac > 0 3 > 0 </span>
then
the two roots must be real
