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.

If B P ⊥ P C , what is m B C ^ ? 180 90 60
Andrei [34K]

The measure of angle BC (m ∠BC) is 90°

<h3>Perpendicular lines</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the measure of angle BC

From the given information, we have that

B P ⊥ P C

This means line BP is <u>perpendicular</u> to line PC

The angle between two perpendicular lines is 90°

Hence, the measure of angle BC (m ∠BC) is 90°.

There are 45 new house bulky in the neighborhood. Last month 1/3 of the were sold . This month 1/5 of the remaining houses were
padilas [110]
What's a bulky..?? My imagination is running wild.

Anyway, after last month, 2/3 of the houses are left, or 45*2/3=30 houses.

This month, 1/5 of those were sold leaving 4/5*30=24 houses.

24 houses are left to be sold.

Hope this helps!

When multiplying terms with the same base with exponents, you keep the base and add the exponents.

2^4 * 2^3 = 2^7

Any number with an exponent of zero equal one.

4^0 = 1

Multiply exponents when the term is being multiplied by a power.

(2^4)^3 = 2^12

When dividing terms with exponents, you keep the base and subtract the exponents.

9^7/9^5 = 9^2 9^5/9^7 = 1/9^2

Use the information given to enter an equation in standard form.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

2x - y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

m=\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}

m = \frac{10-12}{4-5} =\frac{-2}{-1} =2

10=2(4)+b\\10=8+b\\2=b\\y=2x+2\\2x-y=-2
