Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
x² + 2x + 1 = 2x² - 2 ( subtract x² + 2x + 1 from both sides
0 = x² - 2x - 3 ← in standard form
0 = (x - 3)(x + 1) ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
-----------------------------------
(b)
-
=
( multiply through by 15 to clear the fractions )
5(x + 2) - 2 = 3(x - 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
5x + 10 - 2 = 3x - 6
5x + 8 = 3x - 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
2x + 8 = - 6 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
2x = - 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = - 7
--------------------------------------------
(c) Assuming lg means log then using the rules of logarithms
log ⇔ nlogx
log x = log y ⇒ x = y
Given
log(2x + 3) = 2logx
log(2x + 3) = log x² , so
x² = 2x + 3 ( subtract 2x + 3 from both sides )
x² - 2x - 3 = 0
(x - 3)(x + 1) = 0
x = 3 , x = - 1
x > 0 then x = 3
Answer:
Width of river = 0.25 mile
As length of river is not given , but it is given that campsite is located 1 mile east upstream, So length of river = 1 mile
Speed of mine in river while going upstream = 3 miles per hour
Speed of current as going Upstream = 1 miles per hour
Now Reduced speed of mine = Speed of mine in river while going upstream - Speed of current as going Upstream
= 3 - 1
= 2 miles per hour
1. There are two ways to reach campsite
(a) either walk 1 mile from starting point in east direction and then swim 0.25 mile in North direction to reach campsite.
Or
(b) From the starting point Considering a right triangle having, base=1 mile and altitude = 0.25 mile, then finding the length of hypotenuse using formula =
=
=√1.0625
=1.03078(approx)
⇒ you must walk a distance of 1 mile in the east direction and then swim 0.25 mile north direction to reach directly at campsite.[shown in the diagram]
