Answer:

x = 2 and x = -8


Explanation:

Before we begin, remember that:

log (x) + log (y) = log (xy)

log x² = 2 log x

log₄ (4) = 1


Now, let's see the question we have:

For the left hand side:

log₄ x + log₄ (x+6) = log₄ x(x+6)

For the right hand side:

2 can be rewritten as:

log₄ (4)² 


Now, equating the left hand side with the right hand side:

log₄ x(x+6) = log₄ (4)² 

We can deduce that:

x (x+6) = (4)²


We will now solve for x as follows:

x (x+6) = (4)²

x² + 6x = 16

x² + 6x - 16 = 0

(x-2)(x+8) = 0

either x-2 = 0 ...........> x=2

or x+8 = 0 ..............> x = -8


Note: The negative solution is usually rejected as no log can hold a negative value. However, since it is not eliminated in the given choices, we will consider it as a potential solution

Answer:

The solution of the system of equations is, (1,-1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system equation;

x + 5y - 3z = -10

-5x + 6y – 5z = -21

-x + 8y - 8z = -25

Matrix form is written as;

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&5&-3\\-5&6&-5\\-1&8&-8\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-10\\-21\\-25\end{array}\right] \\\\\\det. = 1\left[\begin{array}{cc}\\6&-5\\8&-8\end{array}\right] -5\left[\begin{array}{cc}\\-5&-5\\-1&-8\end{array}\right] -3\left[\begin{array}{cc}\\-5&6\\-1&8\end{array}\right] \\\\\\det. = 1(-8) -5(35)-3(-34)= -8 - 175+ 102 = -81

Cofactor;

First \ row \left[\begin{array}{cc}+\\ 6&-5\\\ 8&-8\end{array}\right  \left\begin{array}{cc}-\\ -5&-5\\-1&-8\end{array}\right \left\begin{array}{cc}+\\-5&6\\-1&8\end{array}\right] = [-8  \ \ -35 \ \ -34]\\\\\\\ Second \ row \left[\begin{array}{cc}-\\ 5&-3\\\ 8&-8\end{array}\right  \left\begin{array}{cc}+\\ 1&-3\\-1&-8\end{array}\right \left\begin{array}{cc}-\\1&5\\-1&8\end{array}\right]  = [16\ \ -11 \ \ -13]\\\\\\

Third \ row \left[\begin{array}{cc}+\\ 5&-3\\\ 6&-5\end{array}\right  \left\begin{array}{cc}-\\ 1&-3\\-5&-5\end{array}\right \left\begin{array}{cc}+\\1&5\\-5&6\end{array}\right]= [-7 \  \ 20\ \ 31]

Cofactor = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-8&-35&-34\\16&-11&-13\\-7&20&31\end{array}\right]

inverse \ matrix =-\frac{1}{81}  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-8&16&-7\\-35&-11&20\\-34&-13&31\end{array}\right] \\\\\\

Solution of the matrix:

\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = -\frac{1}{81}  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-8&16&-7\\-35&-11&20\\-34&-13&31\end{array}\right]  X \left[\begin{array}{c}-10\\-21\\-25\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}\frac{-8*-10 }{-81 } +\frac{16*-21 }{-81 } + \frac{-7*-25 }{-81 }\\\\\frac{-35*-10 }{-81 } +\frac{-11*-21 }{-81 }+ \frac{20*-25 }{-81 }\\\\\frac{-34*-10 }{-81 }+ \frac{-13*-21 }{-81 }+ \frac{31*-25 }{-81 }\end{array}\right] \\\\\

\left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\\z\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}\frac{-81}{-81} \\\\\frac{81}{-81} \\\\\frac{-162}{-81} \end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{c}1\\-1\\2\end{array}\right]

Therefore, the correct option is (1,-1,2)

Correct answer: A

This represents single value, as we are given an estimate of a "certain amount" of the population. We can conclude that it helps determine / randomly selecting people from a survey.

A biologist is researching the population density of lizards near a boulder in a desert. The biologist
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

Use .25 to represent the 1/4 of a mile.

Since it is a given radius around the boulder, we would treat it as such and find the area of the circle around the boulder.

To do this, you do .25² * 3.14

.0625 * 3.14 = .19625

15/.19625 = 76 and some change, but you need to round down to 76

Answer is 76.
