<em><u>Complete Question:</u></em>

The rectangular poster shown measures 2w-30 by w. The poster has an area of 5400 cm2. What is the value of w?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

The value of w is 60

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

The rectangular poster shown measures 2w-30 by w

Area = 5400 square centimeter

<em><u>The area of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

Area = length \times width\\\\5400 = (2w - 30) \times w\\\\5400 = 2w^2 - 30w\\\\2w^2 - 30w - 5400 = 0

<em><u>Solve by quadratic formula</u></em>

\mathrm{For\:a\:quadratic\:equation\:of\:the\:form\:}ax^2+bx+c=0\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}\\\\x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

\mathrm{For\:}\quad a=2,\:b=-30,\:c=-5400

w = \frac{-\left(-30\right)\pm \sqrt{\left(-30\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-5400\right)}}{2\cdot \:2}

w = \frac{ 30 \pm \sqrt{44100}}{4}\\\\w = \frac{ 30 \pm 210 }{4}

<em><u>We have two solutions</u></em>

w = \frac{30+210}{4}\\\\w = 60\\\\And\\\\w = \frac{30-210}{4}\\\\w=-45

Ignore, negative value as width cannot be negative

Thus value of w is 60

Express this to single logarithm

Answer:  \log_{2}\left(\frac{q^2\sqrt{m}}{n^3}\right)

We have something in the form log(x/y) where x = q^2*sqrt(m) and y = n^3. The log is base 2.

===========================================================

Explanation:

It seems strange how the first two logs you wrote are base 2, but the third one is not. I'll assume that you meant to say it's also base 2. Because base 2 is fundamental to computing, logs of this nature are often referred to as binary logarithms.

I'm going to use these three log rules, which apply to any base.

  1. log(A) + log(B) = log(A*B)
  2. log(A) - log(B) = log(A/B)
  3. B*log(A) = log(A^B)

From there, we can then say the following:

\frac{1}{2}\log_{2}\left(m\right)-3\log_{2}\left(n\right)+2\log_{2}\left(q\right)\\\\\log_{2}\left(m^{1/2}\right)-\log_{2}\left(n^3\right)+\log_{2}\left(q^2\right) \ \text{ .... use log rule 3}\\\\\log_{2}\left(\sqrt{m}\right)+\log_{2}\left(q^2\right)-\log_{2}\left(n^3\right)\\\\\log_{2}\left(\sqrt{m}*q^2\right)-\log_{2}\left(n^3\right) \ \text{ .... use log rule 1}\\\\\log_{2}\left(\frac{q^2\sqrt{m}}{n^3}\right) \ \text{ .... use log rule 2}

1. Find an algebraic representation for an exponential function if it is known that f(x + 1) = 4.f(x)
MrMuchimi

f(x)=4^{x-1} is the algebraic representation for an exponential function

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x + 1) = 4.f(x)

f(3) = 16

To Find:

Algebraic representation for an exponential function=?

Solution:

From the formula f(x+n) = 4^n f(x)

when n= 1, x= 3

f(3+1)= 4(1)f(3)

f(4)= 4f(3)

Substituting the value of f(3)

f(4)= 4f(3)

f(4)= 4 x 16  

f(4)= 64

f(4)=4^2

f (5) = 4^2 x 16

f (5) = 4^2 x  4^2

f(5)= 4^4

Similarly,

F(6) = 4^5

Hence, f(x)=4^{x-1}

What is the value of k in the equation 2/7(k+5/8)=2 2/7
shusha [124]
2/7 ( k+5/8) = 2 and 2/7

2/7 (k+5/8) = 16/7     |multiply by 7

2(k+5/8) = 16     |divide by 2

k+5/8 = 8     |subtract  5/8

k=8-5/8 = 7 and 3/8 = 27/8 = 7.375
