Answer:

Answer ::+-6

Step-by-step explanation:

x:3=12:x

or, x/3 = 12/x

Doing cross multiplication,

x^2=36

Putting sqare root on both sides,

x= sqrt. 36

x= +- 6

Therefore x=+-6.

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Express the ratio in fractional form, that is

$\frac{x}{3}$ = $\frac{12}{x}$ ( cross- multiply )

x² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± $\sqrt{36}$ = ± 6

Thus x = 6 is the positive value

Use the properties of logarithms to expand the expression as a sum or difference, and/or constant multiple of logarithms. (Assum

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

$\log_5(9)+\frac{1}{2}\log_5(x)-3\log_5(y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\log_5(\frac{9\sqrt{x}}{y^3})$

First rule I'm going to use is the quotient rule:

$\log_b(\frac{m}{n})=\log_b(m)-\log_b(n)$

$\log_5(9\sqrt{x})-\log_5(y^3)$

Secondly, I'm going to rewrite the radical.

$\sqrt{x}=x^\frac{1}{2}$

$\log_5(9x^\frac{1}{2})-\log_5(y^3)$

Third, I'm going to use the product rule on the first term:

$\log_b(mn)=\log_b(m)+\log_b(n)$

$\log_5(9)+\log_5(x^\frac{1}{2})-\log_5(y^3)$

Fourth, I'm going to use power rule for both of the last two terms:

$\log_b(m^r)=r\log_b(m)$

$\log_5(9)+\frac{1}{2}\log_5(x)-3\log_5(y)$
