Answer:

-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate the expression:

b²/(a + 5)

When a= −15 and b=−5

Substitute values:

b²/(a + 5) =
(-5)² / (-15 + 5) =
25/(-10) =
-2.5

------------------------------------------------------------------

In case the expression is b²/a + 5, the value is:

b²/a + 5 =
(-5)²/(-15) + 5 =
25/(-15) + 5 =
- 5/3 + 5 =
10/3

Which expression is equivalent to log w (x^2 -6)^4/ 3 sqrt x^2+8?

evablogger [386]

Answer:

C $4\log_w(x^2-6)-\dfrac{1}{3}\log_w(x^2+8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

First use the property of logarithms

$\log _ab-\log_ac=\log_a\dfrac{b}{c}.$

For the given expression you get

$\log_w\dfrac{(x^2-6)^4}{\sqrt[3]{x^2+8} }=\log_w(x^2-6)^4-\log_w\sqrt[3]{x^2+8}=\log_w(x^2-6)^4-\log_w(x^2+8)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Now use property of logarithms

$\log_ab^k=k\log_ab.$

For your simplified expression, you get

$\log_w(x^2-6)^4-\log_w(x^2+8)^{\frac{1}{3}}=4\log_w(x^2-6)-\dfrac{1}{3}\log_w(x^2+8).$

Compare and contrast division property of equality and inequality

ch4aika [34]

The two properties are exactly the same when dividing by a positive number. For the division property of equality, dividing by a negative number causes the equal sign to change. Dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number does not have an effect on the relation symbol.
