Logb(x-1) + logb(x+2) = logb(8-2x)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Aleksandr [31]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

log_x(y)+log_x(z)=log_x(yz), so logb(x-1) + logb(x+2)=logb((x-1)(x+2)). next subtract logb(8-2x) from both sides to get logb((x-1)(x+2))-logb(8-2x)=0. log_x(y) - log_x(z) = log_x(y/z). so now we have logb((x-1)(x+2)/(8-2x)). now you can put it into exponential form: (x-1)(x+2)/(8-2x)=b^0=1 now just solve for x:

(x-1)(x+2)= 8-2x, x^2 + x -2 = 8-2x, x^2 + 3x -10 = 0, (x+5)(x-2)=0 x=-5, x=2. plug both into the original equation to check which one is correct, since log_x(y) can't have a negative y, x=-5 doesnt work

EastWind [94]

Answer:

3017.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume for area of circle is A = Pie ( Or in this case 3.14 ) * radius ^ 2

Plug in the numbers 3.14 * 31 ^2

31 is half the diameter or the radius

Answer = 3017.54

A cylinder has a base diameter of 16 inches and a height of 18inches. What is the volume in cubic inches, of the nearest tenths
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

3619.11 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a cylinder is V=\pi r^2h

diameter is 16 in, so radius (r) is 8 in

plug in values: V=\pi 8^2(18) = 3619.11 cubic inches
