Step-by-step explanation:
logx√2=1/6
<=> logx(2^1/2)=1/6
<=>1/2.logx(2)=1/6
<=>logx(2)=1/3
<=>2=x^1/3
<=>x=
Sorry I forgot the formula in the last step
Answer:
x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
use distributive property: x^2+2x-1=4
remove the -1 by adding 1 on both sides: x^2+2x=5
use the guadratic fromula: ax²+bx+c=0
plug in the equation x^2+2x-5=0
a,b and c are the coefficients to plug into the formula
a=1, b=2, c=-1
Finally, you will find that x=2
Answer:
11 people will get both the prizes.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question we need to find common integral multiples of 5 and 7 under 400. As you can see in the figure 35th person is the first one to get both ipod and psp. The LCM (least common multiple) of 5 and 7 which is 35 (!!! <em>I hope you know how to LCM of two integers </em>).
Therefore the integral multiples of 35 will be same as the common multiples of 5 and 7. So, figuring out the number of integral multiples of 35 under 400 will give the answer.
To do that divide the number 400 with 35. On performing the division the quotient will be 11 and the remainder will be 15.
Therefore 11 persons out of 400 will get both the prizes.
Similarly if you want to find the number of person getting ipod then divide 400 with 5. The quotient will be 80. ∴ 80 people will get ipod.
And for psp, divide 400 with 7. The quotient will be 57. ∴ 57 people will get psp.
In these divisions, consider just the quotient, here remainder is of no use.
Let us take a number x
The four consecutive numbers will be
x+1, x+2, x+3
Thus our equation will be
x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 = 42
4x + 6 = 42
4x = 36
x= 36/4
x= 9
Thus the four numbers are (substitute)
x=9
x+1=9+1=10
x+2=9+2=11
x+3=9+3=12
9,10,11,12
