rewrite the equation set = to 0.

x^2 + 5x - 8 = 0

The quadratic will not factor so you have to use the quadratic formula.

x = (-b + - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/2a

x = (5 + - sqrt(25 - 4* 1* -8))/2

x = (5 + - sqrt 57)/2

The x2is not the same as 2x. It is x^2. X tot he second power which makes the problem a quadratic equation. You cannot combine the terms x^2 and -5x because they so not have the same power.

Answer:

Error: $lnx^2=ln 3x$ not $ln\frac{3x}{0}$

Solution:x=0 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the error and correct answer

Given: $2ln x=ln(3x)-[ln9-2ln(3)]$

$lnx^2=ln(3x)-[ln9-ln3^2]$

Using the formula

$alog b=logb^a$

$lnx^2=ln(3x)-[ln9-ln9]$

$lnx^2=ln(3x)-0$

$lnx^2=ln(3x)$

$x^2=3x$

$x^2-3x=0$

$x(x-3)=0$

Therefore, x=0 and x=3

But last step in the given solution

$lnx^2=ln\frac{3x}{0}=\infty$

It is wrong this property is used when

$log m-log n$ then

$log\frac{m}{n}$

Hence, the student wrote $lnx^2=ln\frac{3x}{0}$ instead of $lnx^2=ln3x$ and solution is given by

x=0 and x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

55 / 3 = 18.333.

Since it is a decimal, we round up to the nearest whole number.

It will take at least 19 battles to level up.

a line intersects the point (12,3) and has a slope of 4. what are the inputs to the point slope formula

astraxan [27]

Hey There,

The equation would be y = 4x - 45

Point slope formula

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

Plug in the numbers

(y-3)=4(x-12)

Solve for y.

4 * x = 4x

4 * -12 = -48

Bring 3 to the other side (change the sign)

-48 +3 = 45

Therefore, the equation would be y = 4x - 45
