Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

(5 - 3)/(5 - a)

2/(5 - a)

perpendicular of 2/(5 - a) = -(5 - a)/2

(a - 0)/(1 - 0) = -(5 - a)/2

a/1 = -(5 - a)/2

2a = -5 + a

a = -5

Which undefined geometric term is described as a location on a coordinate plane that is designated by an ordered pair, (x, y)?
jolli1 [7]

Answer: D.  Point

A point is a location. On the 2D coordinate plane, it's described by (x,y). Think of it like an address or like latitude/longitude. A point is an undefined term in geometry as it doesn't build off of smaller elements.

Answers:

When we evaluate a logarithm, we are finding the exponent, or <u>    power   </u>  x, that the  <u>   base   </u> b, needs to be raised so that it equals the <u>  argument   </u> m. The power is also known as the exponent.

5^2 = 25 \to \log_5(25) = 2

The value of b must be <u>   positive    </u> and not equal to <u>   1   </u>

The value of m must be <u>   positive   </u>

If 0 < m < 1, then x < 0

A <u>   logarithmic  </u>    <u>   equation  </u> is an equation with a variable that includes one or more logarithms.

===============================================

Explanation:

Logarithms, or log for short, basically undo what exponents do.

When going from 5^2 = 25 to \log_5(25) = 2, we have isolated the exponent.

More generally, we have b^x = m turn into \log_b(m) = x

When using the change of base formula, notice how

\log_b(m) = \frac{\log(m)}{\log(b)}

If b = 1, then log(b) = log(1) = 0, meaning we have a division by zero error. So this is why b \ne 1

We need b > 0 as well because the domain of y = log(x) is the set of positive real numbers. So this is why m > 0 also.

Solve by factoring : x^2-5x-36=0
il63 [147K]

Answer:

-9 and +4 are the factors

Step-by-step explanation:

-9 times +4 is -36 and if you add +4 to -9, you get -5.

After this your function will look like this:

x^2-9x+4x-36

and then:

x(x-9)+4(x-9)

so the answer is:

(x-9)(x+4)
