[Quick Answer Needed] Which of the following shows the extraneous solution to the logarithmic equation?

Mathematics

Nitella [24]3 years ago

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the logarithmic equation

\log_4x+\log_4(x-3)=\log_4(-7x+21)

First, notice that

x>0\\ \\x-3>0\Rightarrow x>3\\ \\-7x+21>0\Rightarrow 7x

So, there is no possible solutions, all possible solutions will be extraneous.

Solve the equation:

\log_4x+\log_4(x-3)=\log_4x(x-3),

then

\log_4x(x-3)=\log_4(-7x+21)\\ \\x(x-3)=-7x+21\\ \\x^2-3x+7x-21=0\\ \\x^2+4x-21=0\\ \\D=4^2-4\cdot 1\cdot (-21)=16+84=100\\ \\x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-4\pm 10}{2}=-7,\ 3

Hence, x=3 and x=-7 are extraneous solutions

Convert 153 degrees into radians to the nearest to decimals places
STatiana [176]
Since we know there are π radians in 180°, then how many radians are there in 153°?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
radians&de grees\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\pi &180\\
x&153
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\pi }{x}=\cfrac{180}{153}\implies \cfrac{\pi \cdot 153}{180}=x\implies \stackrel{simplified}{\cfrac{17\pi }{20}}=x

Is it possible for two numbers to have a difference of 8 and a sum of 1?
topjm [15]

Answer: yes , it is possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y .Then , the sum of the two numbers will be x + y , and their difference will be x - y.

Combining the two , we have :

x + y = 1 ............................... equation 1

x - y = 8 ................................. equation 2

solving the system of linear equation by substitution method. From equation 1 , make x the subject of the formula ,

x = 1 - y ...................... equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2 ,

1 - y - y = 8

1 - 2y = 8

add 2y to both sides

1 = 8 + 2y

subtract 8 from both sides

1 - 8 = 2y

- 7 = 2y

divide through by 2

y = \frac{-7}{2}

y = - 3.5

substitute y = -3.5 into equation 3 to find the value of x , we have

x = 1 - y

x = 1 - ( - 3.5 )

x = 1 + 3.5

x = 4.5

Let us check :

x + y will be

4.5 + (-3.5) = 1

Also ,

x - y will be

4.5 - (-3.5)

⇒ 4.5 + 3.5 = 8
