Left to Right

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

4x + 9 = 2x + 15

Step 2: Solve for x

Subtract 2x on both sides: 2x + 9 = 15
Subtract 9 on both sides: 2x = 6
Divide 2 on both sides: x = 3

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x: 4(3) + 9 = 2(3) + 15
Multiply: 12 + 9 = 6 + 15
Add: 21 = 21

Here we see that 21 does indeed equal 21.

∴ x = 3 is the solution to the equation.

Answer:

$\text{Length of AB is }\frac{ah}{a+h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given △KMN, ABCD is a square where KN=a, MP⊥KN, MP=h.

we have to find the length of AB.

Let the side of square i.e AB is x units.

As ADCB is a square ⇒ ∠CDN=90°⇒∠CDP=90°

⇒ CP||MP||AB

In ΔMNP and ΔCND

∠NCD=∠NMP (∵ corresponding angles)

∠NDC=∠NPM (∵ corresponding angles)

By AA similarity rule, ΔMNP~ΔCND

Also, ΔKAP~ΔKPM by similarity rule as above.

Hence, corresponding sides are in proportion

$\frac{ND}{NP}=\frac{CD}{MP} \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{KA}{KP}=\frac{AB}{PM} \\\\\frac{ND}{NP}=\frac{x}{h} \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{KA}{KP}=\frac{x}{h}\\\\\frac{NP}{ND}=\frac{h}{x} \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{KP}{KA}=\frac{h}{x}\\\\\frac{PD}{ND}=\frac{h}{x}-1 \thinspace\thinspace and\thinspace\thinspace \frac{AP}{KA}=\frac{h}{x}-1\\$

$KA(\frac{h}{x}-1)=AP$

$ND(\frac{h}{x}-1)=PD$

Adding above two, we get

$(KA+ND)(\frac{h}{x}-1)=(AP+PD)$

⇒ $(KN-AD)=\frac{x}{(\frac{h}{x}-1)}$

⇒ $a-x=\frac{x}{(\frac{h}{x}-1)}$

⇒ $a-x=\frac{x^2}{h-x}$

⇒ $x^2=ah-ax-xh+x^2$

⇒ $x(h+a)=ah$

⇒ $x=\frac{ah}{a+h}$

Answer:

$\large\boxed{1.\ f^{-1}(x)=4\log(x\sqrt[4]2)}\\\\\boxed{2.\ f^{-1}(x)=\log(x^5+5)}\\\\\boxed{3.\ f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{4^{x-1}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\log_ab=c\iff a^c=b\\\\n\log_ab=\log_ab^n\\\\a^{\log_ab}=b\\\\\log_aa^n=n\\\\\log_{10}a=\log a\\=============================$

$1.\\y=\left(\dfrac{5^x}{2}\right)^\frac{1}{4}\\\\\text{Exchange x and y. Solve for y:}\\\\\left(\dfrac{5^y}{2}\right)^\frac{1}{4}=x\qquad\text{use}\ \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^n=\dfrac{a^n}{b^n}\\\\\dfrac{(5^y)^\frac{1}{4}}{2^\frac{1}{4}}=x\qquad\text{multiply both sides by }\ 2^\frac{1}{4}\\\\\left(5^y\right)^\frac{1}{4}=2^\frac{1}{4}x\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\5^{\frac{1}{4}y}=2^\frac{1}{4}x\qquad\log_5\ \text{of both sides}$

$\log_55^{\frac{1}{4}y}=\log_5\left(2^\frac{1}{4}x\right)\qquad\text{use}\ a^\frac{1}{n}=\sqrt[n]{a}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4}y=\log(x\sqrt[4]2)\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\y=4\log(x\sqrt[4]2)$

$--------------------------\\2.\\y=(10^x-5)^\frac{1}{5}\\\\\text{Exchange x and y. Solve for y:}\\\\(10^y-5)^\frac{1}{5}=x\qquad\text{5 power of both sides}\\\\\bigg[(10^y-5)^\frac{1}{5}\bigg]^5=x^5\qquad\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\(10^y-5)^{\frac{1}{5}\cdot5}=x^5\\\\10^y-5=x^5\qquad\text{add 5 to both sides}\\\\10^y=x^5+5\qquad\log\ \text{of both sides}\\\\\log10^y=\log(x^5+5)\Rightarrow y=\log(x^5+5)$

$--------------------------\\3.\\y=\log_4(4x^2)\\\\\text{Exchange x and y. Solve for y:}\\\\\log_4(4y^2)=x\Rightarrow4^{\log_4(4y^2)}=4^x\\\\4y^2=4^x\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\y^2=\dfrac{4^x}{4}\qquad\text{use}\ \dfrac{a^n}{a^m}=a^{n-m}\\\\y^2=4^{x-1}\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{4^{x-1}}$
