Solve for x. 6^(x/2)=5^(1-x)

Mathematics
1 answer:
slavikrds [6]3 years ago

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = log5 / ( (1/2)log6 + log5)

    approximately  0.642

Discussion:

Take the logarithm of both sides ( to "pull" the exponents down so we can work on them!)

6^(x/2)) = 5^(1-x)

log ( 6^(x/2)) = log (5^(1-x))      =>   using log (a^n) = n log a

(x/2) log6 = (1-x) log5               =>   add x log5 to both sides

(x/2) log6 + xlog5 =  log5 - xlog5 + xlog5   =>

(x/2) log6 + xlog5 = log5          => factor x from the lhs

x (  (1/2) log6 + log5) = log5     =>

x = log5 / ( (1/2)log6 + log5)    

The above can be further simplified but that's as far as I want to take it.The value of x is approx equal to  0.642


Thank you,

MrB

The coordinates of each rectangle ABCD are A (0,2) B (2,4) C (3,3) D (1,1). Find the distance of each side of the rectangle then
EastWind [94]

AB = CD = √8 ≈ 2.8 units

BC = AD = √2 ≈ 1.4 units

Area of the rectangle ABCD = 3.92 units²

Perimeter of the rectangle ABCD = 8.4 units

<h3>How to Find the Area and Perimeter of a Rectangle?</h3>

Given the coordinates of vertices of rectangle ABCD as:

  • A(0,2)
  • B(2,4)
  • C(3,3)
  • D(1,1)

To find the area and perimeter, use the distance formula to find the distance between A and B, and B and C.

Using the distance formula, we have the following:

AB = √[(2−0)² + (4−2)²]

AB = √[(2)² + (2)²]

AB = √8 ≈ 2.8 units

CD = √8 ≈ 2.8 units

BC = √[(2−3)² + (4−3)²]

BC = √[(−1)² + (1)²]

BC = √2 ≈ 1.4 units

AD = √2 ≈ 1.4 units

Area of the rectangle ABCD = (AB)(BC) = (2.8)(1.4) = 3.92 units²

Perimeter of the rectangle ABCD = 2(AB + BC) = 2(2.8 + 1.4) = 8.4 units

If h(x) = 1 2 x4 - 3x3, find h(4)<br> A)-200   <br>B)-64  <br>C)-28<br>D)-16
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

-64

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x) =\frac{1}{2}x^4 - 3x^3

Now we need to find out h(4)

to find h(4), we plug in 4 for x

Replace all x by 4 in h(x) and evaluate h(4)

h(x) =\frac{1}{2}x^4 - 3x^3

h(4) =\frac{1}{2}(4)^4 - 3(4)^3

h(4) =128- 192=-64

So the value of f(4)= -64

The length a rectangle is 2 cm grater than its width .the area is the rectangle is 80 cm square what is the width of the rectang
maw [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If breadth =x

length =x+2

Area =length *breadth

Area =x(x+2)=80

X^2+2x-80=0

X^2 +10x - 8x - 80=0

X(x+10)- 8(x+10)=0

(X-8)(x+10)=0

X=8 or x=-10

X=8(since breadth cannot be a negative value x cannot be negative)
