Answer:

f(- 4) = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate f(- 4) substitute x = - 4 into f(x) , that is

f(- 4) = - 8 - 5(- 4) = - 8 + 20 = 12

f(x)=-8-5x

$\\ \rm\longmapsto f(-4)$

Put -4 inplace of x

$\\ \rm\longmapsto -8-5(-4)$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto -8+20$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 12$

What is the true solution to the equation below?

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The solution is:

$x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the expression

$lne^{lnx}+lne^{lnx}^{^2}=2ln8$

$\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)}\right)+\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)\cdot \:2}\right)=2\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \:log_a\left(a^b\right)=b$

$\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)}\right)=\ln \left(x\right),\:\space\ln \left(e^{\ln \left(x\right)2}\right)=\ln \left(x\right)2$

$\ln \left(x\right)+\ln \left(x\right)\cdot \:2=2\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:\ln \left(x\right)+2\ln \left(x\right)=3\ln \left(x\right)$

$3\ln \left(x\right)=2\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}3$

$\frac{3\ln \left(x\right)}{3}=\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}$

$\ln \left(x\right)=\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}.....A$

Solving the right side of the equation A.

$\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}$

As

$\ln \left(8\right):\quad 3\ln \left(2\right)$

Because

$\ln \left(8\right)$

$\mathrm{Rewrite\:}8\mathrm{\:in\:power-base\:form:}\quad 8=2^3$

⇒ $\ln \left(2^3\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \log _a\left(x^b\right)=b\cdot \log _a\left(x\right)$

$\ln \left(2^3\right)=3\ln \left(2\right)$

So

$\frac{2\ln \left(8\right)}{3}=\frac{2\cdot \:3\ln \left(2\right)}{3}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:2\cdot \:3=6$

$=\frac{6\ln \left(2\right)}{3}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:\frac{6}{3}=2$

$=2\ln \left(2\right)$

So, equation A becomes

$\ln \left(x\right)=2\ln \left(2\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule}:\quad \:a\log _c\left(b\right)=\log _c\left(b^a\right)$

$=\ln \left(2^2\right)$

$=\ln \left(4\right)$

$\ln \left(x\right)=\ln \left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:log\:rule:\:\:If}\:\log _b\left(f\left(x\right)\right)=\log _b\left(g\left(x\right)\right)\:\mathrm{then}\:f\left(x\right)=g\left(x\right)$

$x=4$

Therefore, the solution is

$x=4$

Question:

Which of the following expressions represents the distance between 1.7 and −1/2 on a number line?

Choose 1 answer:

$A.\ |1.7 - 1/2|$

$B.\ |1.7 -(-1/2)|$

C. None of the above

Answer:

$B.\ |1.7 -(-1/2)|$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Numbers: 1.7 and -1/2

Required

Determine the distance

To calculate the distance, we start by calculating the difference between the given numbers;

$Difference = 1.7 - (-1/2)$

Then, we calculate the distance;

<em>In this case, the distance is meant to be positive; So, we'll introduce the symbol for absolute value;</em>

Hence,

$Distance = |Difference|$

Substitute $1.7 - (-1/2)$ for Difference;

$Distance = |1.7 - (-1/2)|$

<em>Hence, the correct option is B</em>
