Answer: x = 8
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
I'm going to use the notation log(2,x) to indicate "log base 2 of x". The first number is the base while the second is the expression inside the log (aka the argument of the log)
log(2,x) + log(2,(x-6)) = 4
log(2,x*(x-6)) = 4
x*(x-6) = 2^4
x*(x-6) = 16
x^2-6x = 16
x^2-6x-16 = 0
(x-8)(x+2) = 0
x-8 = 0 or x+2 = 0
x = 8 or x = -2
Recall that the domain of log(x) is x > 0. So x = -2 is not allowed. The same applies to log(2,x) as well.
Only x = 8 is a proper solution.
------------------------
You can use the change of base rule to check your work
log base 2 of x = log(2,x) = log(x)/log(2)
log(2,(x-6)) = log(x-6)/log(2)
So,
(log(x)/log(2)) + (log(x-6)/log(2)) = 4
(log(8)/log(2)) + (log(8-6)/log(2)) = 4
(log(8)/log(2)) + (log(2)/log(2)) = 4
(log(2^3)/log(2)) + (log(2)/log(2)) = 4
(3*log(2)/log(2)) + (log(2)/log(2)) = 4
3+1 = 4
4 = 4
The answer is confirmed
Step-by-step explanation:
Area=5×50m
=250m²/25000cm²
since they gave us the area of a parallelogram on a map and a scale there's no need to know the dimensions.
I'm not sure but I hope it helps
