Log10 (x squared - 4x + 7) = 2

1 answer:

6 0

Log_(10)(x² - 4x + 7) = 2

Take the base 10 anti log of both sides.
x² - 4x + 7 = 10² = 100
x²- 4x - 93 = 0

Quadratic Formula
x = [4 ± √(4²-4(1)(-93))]/[2(1)] = [4 ± 2√97)]/2 = 2 ± √97

Richard and Teo have a combined age of 26 . Richard is5 years older than twice Teo's age. How old are Richard and Teo?

loris [4]

Answer:Teo's age = 7 years ,Richard's age = 19 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let Teo's age be represented as x

Such that Richard 's age = 5 + 2x

and their combined ages equaling 26 can be expressed as

x + 5+ 2x = 26

Step 2 --- SOLVING

x + 5+ 2x = 26

3x+ 5= 26

3x= 26-5

3x= 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

Teo's age = 7 years

Richard's age = 5+2x= 5 + 14= 19 years

If log2 5 = k, determine an expression for log32 5 in terms of k.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

$log_3_2(5)=\frac{1}{5} k$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by using change of base property:

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

So, for $log_2(5)$

$log_2(5)=k=\frac{log(5)}{log(2)}\hspace{10}(1)$

Now, using change of base for $log_3_2(5)$

$log_3_2(5)=\frac{log(5)}{log(32)}$

You can express $32$ as:

$2^5$

Using reduction of power property:

$log_z(x^y)=ylog_z(x)$

$log(32)=log(2^5)=5log(2)$

Therefore:

$log_3_2(5)=\frac{log(5)}{5*log(2)}=\frac{1}{5} \frac{log(5)}{log(2)}\hspace{10}(2)$

As you can see the only difference between (1) and (2) is the coefficient $\frac{1}{5}$ :

So:

$\frac{log(5)}{log(2)} =k\\$

$log_3_2(5)=\frac{1}{5} \frac{log(5)}{log(2)} =\frac{1}{5} k$

Circle P and circle Q are similar. What is the scale factor which converts P to Q?

andriy [413]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the scale factor between circle P and circle Q, divide the diameter of circle Q by the diameter of circle P, 4.5 ft÷1.5 ft = 3. The scale factor between circle P and circle Q is 3.

Huxian's father gives her $120 as her monthly allowance. a) If she spends an average of 5 dollars a day, find the amount on mone

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

3 days= $105, 6 days= $90, 10 days= $70

Step-by-step explanation:

You can rewrite this equation as y=120-5x

x is the amount of days passed

plug in 3 for x and you get 15. 120-15=105

plug in 6 for x and you get 30. 120-30=90

plug in 10 for x you get 50. 120-50=70

Hope this helps!
