Answer:

1. x = 3

2. The 5th term = Log₂768.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Log₂x, Log₂(x + 9, Log₂(x + 45)

x =?

5th term (T₅) =.?

1. Determination of the value of x.

We shall determine the value of x as follow:

First term = Log₂x

2nd term = Log₂(x + 9)

3rd term = Log₂(x + 45)

Common difference = 2nd term – first term = 3rd term – 2nd term

Log₂(x + 9) – Log₂x = Log₂(x + 45) – Log₂(x + 9)

Recall

Log M – Log N = Log (M/N)

Therefore,

Log₂(x + 9) – Log₂x = Log₂(x + 9)/x

Log₂(x + 45) – Log₂(x + 9) = Log₂(x + 45) /(x + 9)

Thus:

Log₂(x + 9) – Log₂x = Log₂(x + 45) – Log₂(x + 9)

Log₂(x + 9)/x = Log₂(x + 45)/(x + 9)

Cancel Log₂ from both side

(x + 9)/x = (x + 45)/(x + 9)

Cross multiply

(x + 9)(x + 9) = x(x + 45)

x² + 9x + 9x + 81 = x² + 45x

x² + 18x + 81 = x² + 45x

Rearrange

x² – x² + 81 = 45x – 18x

81 = 27x

Divide both side by 27

x = 81/27

x = 3

Therefore, the value of x is 3.

2. Determination of the 5th term.

We'll begin by calculating the common difference (d)

x = 3

First term = Log₂x

First term = Log₂3

2nd term = Log₂(x + 9)

2nd term = Log₂(3 + 9)

2nd term = Log₂12

Common difference (d) = 2nd term – first term

Common difference (d) = Log₂12 – Log₂3

= Log₂(12/3)

Common difference (d) = Log₂4

Finally, we shall determine the 5th term as follow:

First term (a) = Log₂3

Common difference (d) = Log₂4

5th term (T₅) =.?

T₅ = a + 4d

T₅ = Log₂3 + 4Log₂4

Recall:

nLogM = LogMⁿ

Therefore,

4Log₂4 = Log₂4⁴ = Log₂256

T₅ = Log₂3 + 4Log₂4

T₅ = Log₂3 + Log₂256

Recall:

Log M + Log N = Log (M×N)

Thus,

T₅ = Log₂3 + Log₂256

T₅ = Log₂(3 × 256)

T₅ = Log₂768

Therefore, the 5th term is Log₂768

Ashlyn needs to bring a dessert to her dinner party. If the bakery has eight pies to choose from, how many ways can Ashlyn choos
Snowcat [4.5K]

<u>Ashely have </u><u>56 ways</u><u> to choose from</u>

This question can be solved using a system in mathematics called Permutation and it's in a topic of mathematics called combinatorics.

<h3 /><h3>Permutation</h3>

This is the process of arranging a particular set of data in different ways.

Since Ashely is choosing 3 desserts out of 8 in no specific ways

P=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Where n = total number of ways available

r = total numbers that would be selected.

Data given

  • n = 8
  • r = 3

Let's substitute these values into the equation.

P=\frac{8!}{(8-3)!3!} \\P=\frac{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{5*4*3*2*1*3*2*1}\\P=56

From the calculation above, Ashley have 56 ways in which can choose 3 dessert from an 8 choice.

How many sides does a regular polygon have if one of it's interior angles measure 162?
julsineya [31]
If you are given the measure of each interior angle (162 degrees) of a regular polygon. how many sides does the polygon have? If you look at a pentagon first where the interior angle is 108 deg then you see. The angle at the center is 180-162=18 deg and 360/18=20 so the polygon has 20 sides.
Hope this helps you !!

the diameter of a value for the space shuttle must be within 0.001mm of 5mm. Write and solve an absolute value equation to find
dybincka [34]

The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

|x-5|=0.001

Explanation:

Since the diameter must be within 0.001 mm, this means it can be greater than 5 by this amount or less than 5 by this amount.  This is why we use an absolute value equation; absolute value describes distance.

Since it must be within 0.001 mm, this means the difference between our value, x, and 5 must equal 0.001; this is why x-5 goes in the absolute value bars and 0.001 goes across the equals sign.
