Answer:
The solutions are x = 1.24 and x = -3.24
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
First, let´s write the equation:
log[(x² + 2x -3)⁴] = 0
Apply the logarithm property: log(xᵃ) = a log(x)
4 log[(x² + 2x -3)⁴] = 0
Divide by 4 both sides
log(x² + 2x -3) = 0
if log(x² + 2x -3) = 0, then x² + 2x -3 = 1 because only log 1 = 0
x² + 2x -3 = 1
Subtract 1 at both sides of the equation
x² + 2x -4 = 0
Using the quadratic formula let´s solve this quadratic equation:
a = 1
b = 2
c = -4
x = [-b± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
x = [-2 + √(4 - 4(-4)·1)]/2 = 1.24
and
x = [-2 - √(4 - 4(-4)·1)]/2 = -3.24
The solutions are x = 1.24 and x = -3.24
Have a nice day!
Answer:
n = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent the number by n. Then "seven less than twice a number is -5 becomes 2n - 7 = -5
Next we must solve for n. Adding 7 to both sides yields 2n = 2, so that
n = 1
3 x 7 because three, seven times is 21
Answer: (v + 7)(v -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
(v +7)(v -3)
v x v = v^2
v x -3 = -3v
7 x v = 7v
7 x -3 = -21
v^2 -3v +7v -21 = v^2 +4v -21 = 0
Answer:
y = -1/2x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
The line perpendicular to one with a slope of 2 will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of 2, that is, -1/2. The given point is the y-intercept of the required line, so we can write its equation directly in slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope (-1/2), and b is the y-intercept (-3). Your line is ...
y = -1/2x -3
