X(x+8)=(x+4)(x+3)
x^2+8x=x^2+7x+12
x=12
original length = 20
original width = 12
next length = 15
next width = 16

Answer:

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Properties of Logarithms</u>

We'll recall below the basic properties of logarithms:

$log_b(1) = 0$

Logarithm of the base:

$log_b(b) = 1$

Product rule:

$log_b(xy) = log_b(x) + log_b(y)$

Division rule:

$\displaystyle log_b(\frac{x}{y}) = log_b(x) - log_b(y)$

Power rule:

$log_b(x^n) = n\cdot log_b(x)$

Change of base:

$\displaystyle log_b(x) = \frac{ log_a(x)}{log_a(b)}$

Simplifying logarithms often requires the application of one or more of the above properties.

Simplify

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)$

Factoring $64=2^6$ .

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(2^6)$

Applying the power rule:

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=6\cdot log_\frac{1}{2}(2)$

Since

$\displaystyle 2=(1/2)^{-1}$

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=6\cdot log_\frac{1}{2}((1/2)^{-1})$

Applying the power rule:

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=-6\cdot log_\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2})$

Applying the logarithm of the base:

$\mathbf{\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=-6}$
