Applying log rules leaves us with the following equation:
x^2 + 8 = 6x
Change to standard form and solve using factoring.
x^2 - 6x + 8 = 0
(x - 4)(x - 2) = 0
x = 4
x = 2
Hope this helps!
Answer:
y =
x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
here m =
, hence
y =
x + c ← is the partial equation
to find c substitute (4, 9) into the partial equation
9 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 9 - 2 = 7
y =
x + 7 ← equation in slope-intercept form
Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
36^2 + b^2 = 85^2
1296 + b^2 = 7225
b^2 = 7225 - 1296
b^2 = 5926
b = square root of 5929
b = 77 inches long
