Answer:

$\log_5{\dfrac{x^5}{\sqrt[4]{8-x}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Make use of the rules of logarithms:

log(a/b) = log(a) - log(b)

log(a^b) = b·log(a)

$5\log_5{x}-\dfrac{1}{4}\log_5{(8-x)}=\log_5{x^5}-\log_5{\sqrt[4]{8-x}}=\log_5{\dfrac{x^5}{\sqrt[4]{8-x}}}$

contradictions!!!! i dont get them help me with 5 of them pleaseee i will mark you brainlest answer and everything

vodomira [7]

Contradictions usually mean they go against established rules. Squaring a negative number is one example if it is in math. But just think of anything that goes against what is known.

How to find the vertex calculus 2What is the vertex, focus and directrix of x^2 = 6y

son4ous [18]

Solution:

Given:

$x^2=6y$

Part A:

The vertex of an up-down facing parabola of the form;

$\begin{gathered} y=ax^2+bx+c \\ is \\ x_v=-\frac{b}{2a} \end{gathered}$

Rewriting the equation given;

$\begin{gathered} 6y=x^2 \\ y=\frac{1}{6}x^2 \\ \\ \text{Hence,} \\ a=\frac{1}{6} \\ b=0 \\ c=0 \\ \\ \text{Hence,} \\ x_v=-\frac{b}{2a} \\ x_v=-\frac{0}{2(\frac{1}{6})} \\ x_v=0 \\ \\ _{} \\ \text{Substituting the value of x into y,} \\ y=\frac{1}{6}x^2 \\ y_v=\frac{1}{6}(0^2) \\ y_v=0 \\ \\ \text{Hence, the vertex is;} \\ (x_v,y_v)=(h,k)=(0,0) \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the vertex is (0,0)

Part B:

A parabola is the locus of points such that the distance to a point (the focus) equals the distance to a line (directrix)

Using the standard equation of a parabola;

$\begin{gathered} 4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2 \\ \\ \text{Where;} \\ (h,k)\text{ is the vertex} \\ |p|\text{ is the focal length} \end{gathered}$

Rewriting the equation in standard form,

$\begin{gathered} x^2=6y \\ 6y=x^2 \\ 4(\frac{3}{2})(y-k)=(x-h)^2 \\ \text{putting (h,k)=(0,0)} \\ 4(\frac{3}{2})(y-0)=(x-0)^2 \\ Comparing\text{to the standard form;} \\ p=\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

Since the parabola is symmetric around the y-axis, the focus is a distance p from the center (0,0)

Hence,

$\begin{gathered} Focus\text{ is;} \\ (0,0+p) \\ =(0,0+\frac{3}{2}) \\ =(0,\frac{3}{2}) \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the focus is;

$(0,\frac{3}{2})$

Part C:

A parabola is the locus of points such that the distance to a point (the focus) equals the distance to a line (directrix)

Using the standard equation of a parabola;

$\begin{gathered} 4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2 \\ \\ \text{Where;} \\ (h,k)\text{ is the vertex} \\ |p|\text{ is the focal length} \end{gathered}$

Rewriting the equation in standard form,

Since the parabola is symmetric around the y-axis, the directrix is a line parallel to the x-axis at a distance p from the center (0,0).

Hence,

$\begin{gathered} Directrix\text{ is;} \\ y=0-p \\ y=0-\frac{3}{2} \\ y=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the directrix is;

$y=-\frac{3}{2}$
