Step-by-step explanation:
brainliest plz
The first book can be any one of the 5.
For each of those . . .
The 2nd book can be any one of the remaining 4.
For each of those ...
The 3rd book can be any one of the remaining 3.
For each of those . . .
The 4th book can be either of the remaining 2.
For each of those . . .
The 5th book is the last one remaining.
Total number of ways to arrange the 5 books is
(5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1) = 120 .
Cross off alphabetically ascending (1 way), and alphabetically
descending (1 way), and you're left with (120 - 2) = 118 ways.
Rational Numbers because it doesnt repeat and it can be written as a mixed number.
This equation uses two properties of logarithms:


So you could take the ln from left and right hand side in the equation, and get:
(2-x)ln 3 = x ln 5
then
2 ln 3 - x ln 3 - x ln 5 = 0 =>
x(ln 3 + ln 5) = 2 ln 3
so x = 2 ln 3 / (ln3 + ln5)
Now using the 1st property you can say 2 ln 3 is ln 3² = ln9
and using the 2nd property you can say ln3 + ln5 = ln15
so x= ln9 / ln15
