This forms a right triangle with 6 being the base and 10 being the hypotenuse.

Using the Pythagorean theorem solve the distance north, which would be the height of the right triangle.

X = √(10^2 - 6^2)

X = √(100-36)

X = √64

X = 8

The answer is 8 km.

Answer:

8 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Runners in a long distance race start out going 6 kilometers east and then head north for the remainder of the race.

The finish line is 10 kilometers from the starting line.

To Find: How far did the runners travel north?

Solution :

Refer the attached figure

Runners in a long distance race start out going 6 kilometers east  i.e. AB = 6 km

The finish line is 10 kilometers from the starting line.i.e. AC = 10 km

We are supposed to find How far did the runners travel north i.e.CB

So, we will use Pythagoras theorem :

Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2

AC^2=CB^2+AB^2

10^2=CB^2+6^2

10^2-6^2=CB^2

\sqrt{10^2-6^2}=CB

8=CB

Hence the runners travel north is 8 km

Which logarithmic equation is equivalent to the exponential equation below?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Option B: \ln 6=5 x is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The exponential equation is e^{5 x}=6

If f(x)=g(x), then \ln (f(x))=\ln (g(x))

Thus, the equation becomes

\ln \left(e^{5 x}\right)=\ln (6)

Applying log rule, \log _{a}\left(x^{b}\right)=b \cdot \log _{a}(x) and thus the equation becomes

5 x \ln (e)=\ln (6)

Since, we know that, \ln (e)=1, using this we get,

5 x=\ln (6)

Hence, the logarithmic equation which is equivalent to the exponential equation e^{5 x}=6 is \ln 6=5 x

Thus, Option B is the correct answer.
