Answer:
AC = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
y is the dimension of the horizontal segment (see the attached image).
The hypotenuses are the same dimension, so:
(x+4)^2=(x/2)^2+y^2
(3x-8)^2=(x/2)^2+y^2
So,
(x+4)^2 = (3x-8)^2
x+4 = 3x-8
x-3x = -8-4
-2x = -12
x = 6
And x is the dimension of the segment AC.
Answer:
The solutions are x = 1.24 and x = -3.24
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
First, let´s write the equation:
log[(x² + 2x -3)⁴] = 0
Apply the logarithm property: log(xᵃ) = a log(x)
4 log[(x² + 2x -3)⁴] = 0
Divide by 4 both sides
log(x² + 2x -3) = 0
if log(x² + 2x -3) = 0, then x² + 2x -3 = 1 because only log 1 = 0
x² + 2x -3 = 1
Subtract 1 at both sides of the equation
x² + 2x -4 = 0
Using the quadratic formula let´s solve this quadratic equation:
a = 1
b = 2
c = -4
x = [-b± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
x = [-2 + √(4 - 4(-4)·1)]/2 = 1.24
and
x = [-2 - √(4 - 4(-4)·1)]/2 = -3.24
The solutions are x = 1.24 and x = -3.24
Have a nice day!
1) divide 26.32 by 8 = 3.29
2) 3.29 x 20= 65.80
3) he would spend 65.80 on 20 gallons of gas
It would be 0.81 because she got 81/100 right. Hope this helpz..
