What is the true solution to the equation below?

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The solution is:

$x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$lne^{lnx}+lne^{lnx}^{^2}=2ln8$

$\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)}\right)+\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)\cdot \:2}\right)=2\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \:log_a\left(a^b\right)=b$

$\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)}\right)=\ln \left(x\right),\:\space\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)2}\right)=\ln \left(x\right)2$

$\ln \left(x\right)+\ln \left(x\right)\cdot \:2=2\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:\ln \left(x\right)+2\ln \left(x\right)=3\ln \left(x\right)$

$3\ln \left(x\right)=2\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3$

$\frac{3\ln \left(x\right)}{3}=\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}$

$\ln \left(x\right)=\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}.....A$

Solving the right side of the equation A.

$\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}$

$\ln \left(8\right):\quad 3\ln \left(2\right)$

Because

$\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Rewrite\:}8\mathrm{\:in\:power-base\:form:}\quad 8=2^3$

⇒ $\ln \left(2^3\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \log _a\left(x^b\right)=b\cdot \log _a\left(x\right)$

$\ln \left(2^3\right)=3\ln \left(2\right)$

$\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}=\frac{2\cdot \:3\ln \left(2\right)}{3}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\cdot \:3=6$

$=\frac{6\ln \left(2\right)}{3}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{6}{3}=2$

$=2\ln \left(2\right)$

So, equation A becomes

$\ln \left(x\right)=2\ln \left(2\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \:a\log _c\left(b\right)=\log _c\left(b^a\right)$

$=\ln \left(2^2\right)$

$=\ln \left(4\right)$

$\ln \left(x\right)=\ln \left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule:\:\:If}\:\log _b\left(f\left(x\right)\right)=\log _b\left(g\left(x\right)\right)\:\mathrm{then}\:f\left(x\right)=g\left(x\right)$

$x=4$

Therefore, the solution is

$x=4$

The answer is = since each equation equals 32
6•6=36
2•2=4
36-4=32
And then the next equation
6+2=8
4(8)=32

ASAP math help algebra plzzz

skelet666 [1.2K]

This is a geometric sequence because each term is a constant multiple, called the common ratio, of the previous term. In this case the common ratio, noted as "r", is:

8/-2=-32/8=128/-32=r=-4

The first term is -2

Any geometric sequence can be expressed as:

a(n)=ar^(n-1), a=initial term, r=common ratio, n=term number.

Since we know r and a for this problem already we can say:

a(n)=-2(-4)^(n-1)
