Short Answer x = - 6
Remark
You gave the second best answer. 

The trick here is not to divide both sides by 2. Solve the problem this way.

log_5(x + 1)^2 = 2 Take the antilog of both sides
(x + 1)^2 = 5^2       Expand the equation
x^2 + 2x + 1 = 25   Subtract 25 from both sides.
x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0    Factor
(x + 6)(x - 4) = 0     Find the zeros.

x + 6 = 0
x = - 6  <<<<<<<< Answer. This is the extraneous root.
The reason this is an extraneous root is that x<=0 do not have a logarithem

x - 4 = 0
x = 4    This is a legitimate result to the original equation.

Work out the size of angle x
kompoz [17]

Answer:

x = 117 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has 180 degrees in total.

A straight line is also 180 degrees in total.

180 - 101 = 79

Angles inside the triangle

79 + 38 = 117

180 - 117 = 63

63 degrees is the missing angle

x = 180 - 63

x = 117

suppose a farmer encloses a rectangular region of a land next to a river. fencing will be used on 3 sieds, and none is needed al
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Dimensions :

x (the longer side, only one side with fence )   =  90  ft

y ( the shorter side two sides with fence )        =  45  ft

Total fence used   45 * 2  +  90    =  180 ft

A(max)  =  

Step-by-step explanation: If a farmer has 180 ft of fencing to encloses a rectangular area with fence in three sides and the river on one side, the farmer surely wants to have a maximum enclosed area.

Lets call "x" one the longer side  ( only one of the longer side of the rectangle will have fence, the other will be along the river and won´t need fence. "y" will be the shorter side

Then we have:

P = perimeter  =  180  =  2y  +  x        ⇒   y  =  ( 180 - x )  / 2        (1)

And   A (r)   =  x * y

A(x)   =  x  *  ( 180 - x ) /2       ⇒   A(x)   = (180/2) *x   -  x² / 2

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation :

A´(x)   =  90   -  x    

Then if    A´(x)   =  0   ⇒        90   -  x    =  0     ⇒   x  =  90 ft

and from :       y  =  ( 180 - x )  / 2     ⇒     y  =  90/2

y  =  45  ft

And

A(max)  =  90 * 45    =  4050  ft²
