x - y = 14

given the ratio x : y = 5 : 3

then let x = 5x and y = 3x, hence equation can be expressed as

5x + 3x = 56

8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 7

Hence x = 5 × 7 = 35 and y = 3 × 7 = 21

Thus x - y = 35 - 21 = 14

P(x) = x2 – 1 and q(x)=5(x-1), which expression is equivalent to (p – q)(x)?

P(x) - q(x) = x²-1 -5(x-1)
= x²-1-5x+5
=x²-5x+4

Help me with these two

slavikrds [6]

To find the answer of the first one, plug in numbers for x, and see if they make the inequality true. Like, 5, 6, and 7.

For the second one, add 13 to both sides. The answer is 21.

Find the radius of a circle with the given circumference. 12 in

vampirchik [111]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 

circumference = 12 inch

π = 3.14

radius (r) = ?

We know 

circumference = 2πr 

12 = 2* 3.14 * r

r = 12 / 6.28

Therefore r = 1.91 inch

Expanding Logarithmic Expressions In Exercise, use the properties of logarithms to rewrite the expression as a sum, difference,

Leya [2.2K]

Answer: $\dfrac{1}{3}[\ln (x+1)+\ln(x-1)]$

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of logarithm :

$\log (ab)= \log a+\log b$
$\log(\dfrac{a}{b})=\log a-\log b$
$\log a^n= n\log a$

The given expression in terms of Natural log : $\ln (x^2 - 1)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

This will become $\dfrac{1}{3}\ln (x^2 - 1)$ [ By using Property (3)]

$=\dfrac{1}{3}\ln (x^2-1^2)$

$=\dfrac{1}{3}\ln ((x+1)(x-1))$ [ $\because a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)$ ]

$=\dfrac{1}{3}[\ln (x+1)+\ln(x-1)]$ [ By using Property (1)]

Hence, the simplified expression becomes $\dfrac{1}{3}[\ln (x+1)+\ln(x-1)]$ .
