Find x?
In 3x - In(x - 4) = ln(2x - 1) +ln3

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x = \displaystyle \frac{5 + \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Because [tex]3\, x[/tex] is found in the input to a logarithm function in the original equation, it must be true that [tex]3\, x > 0[/tex]. Therefore, [tex]x > 0[/tex].

Similarly, because [tex](x - 4)[/tex] and [tex](2\, x - 1)[/tex] are two other inputs to the logarithm function in the original equation, they should also be positive. Therefore, [tex]x > 4[/tex].

Let [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] represent two positive numbers (that is: [tex]a > 0[/tex] and [tex]b > 0[/tex].) The following are two properties of logarithm:

[tex]\displaystyle \ln (a) + \ln(b) = \ln\left(a \cdot b\right)[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle \ln (a) - \ln(b) = \ln\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)[/tex].

Apply these two properties to rewrite the original equation.

Left-hand side of this equation:

[tex]\begin{aligned}&\ln(3\, x) - \ln(x - 4)= \ln\left(\frac{3\, x}{x -4}\right)\end{aligned}[/tex]

Right-hand side of this equation:

[tex]\ln(2\, x- 1) + \ln(3) = \ln\left(3 \left(2\, x - 1\right)\right)[/tex].

Equate these two expressions:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\ln\left(\frac{3\, x}{x -4}\right) = \ln(3(2\, x - 1))\end{aligned}[/tex].

The natural logarithm function [tex]\ln[/tex] is one-to-one for all positive inputs. Therefore, for the equality [tex]\begin{aligned}\ln\left(\frac{3\, x}{x -4}\right) = \ln(3(2\, x - 1))\end{aligned}[/tex] to hold, the two inputs to the logarithm function have to be equal and positive. That is:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{3\ x}{x - 4} = 3\, (2\, x - 1)[/tex].

Simplify and solve this equation for [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]x^2 - 5\, x + 2 = 0[/tex].

There are two real (but not rational) solutions to this quadratic equation: [tex]\displaystyle \frac{5 + \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex] and [tex]\displaystyle \frac{5 - \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex].

However, the second solution, [tex]\displaystyle \frac{5 - \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex], is not suitable. The reason is that if [tex]x = \displaystyle \frac{5 - \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex], then [tex](x - 4)[/tex], one of the inputs to the logarithm function in the original equation, would be smaller than zero. That is not acceptable because the inputs to logarithm functions should be greater than zero.

The only solution that satisfies the requirements would be [tex]\displaystyle \frac{5 + \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex].

Therefore, [tex]x = \displaystyle \frac{5 + \sqrt{17}}{2}[/tex].

which value if x makes this proportional true? 14/20=56/x A.x=62 B.x=70 C.x=80 D.x=100​

Answers

Answer:  C) x = 80

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

Work Shown:

Let's cross multiply to get the following

14/20 = 56/x

14*x = 20*56

14x = 1120

x = 1120/14

x = 80

-------------------

As a way to check the answer, we can type 14/20 - 56/80 into the calculator and we should get 0. I'm taking advantage of the rule that if A = B, then A-B = 0. This trick is handy to check if two sides of any equation are equal to one another.

your answer will be 80 pretty sure

Pentru sala de mese a scolii s-au adus 12 scaune si 7 mese, plătindu-se 320lei.Știind că 4 scaune costă cât trei mese, află prețul unui scaun și prețul unei mese.

Answers

Răspuns:

Costul scaunului = 15

Costul mesei = 20

Explicație pas cu pas:

Dat fiind:

Să prețul scaunelor = c; pretul mesei = t

12c + 7t = 320 - - - (1)

4c = 3t; c = 3/4 t - - - (2)

Introducerea c = 3 / 4t în (1)

12 (3 / 4t) + 7t = 320

9t + 7t = 320

16t = 320

t = 320/16

t = 20

c = 3 / 4t

c = 3/4 (20)

c = 15

Costul scaunului = 15

Costul mesei = 20

c.
6 intervals of 500 feet
b.
5 intervals of 1000 feet
d.
7 intervals of 500 feet

Answers

Answer:

D. 7 intervals of 500 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Got it right

Jamie used 5 intervals of 1000 feet as per the given data. The correct option is b.

What are tallies and frequencies?

A tally chart is a straightforward method of recording and counting frequencies. Each occurrence is represented by a tally mark, and every fifth tally is drawn diagonally to form a five-pointed star.

The first interval has a frequency of 7, which corresponds to the first 7 data points in the list:

1010

1470

1600

2000

2800

1053

1495

The last interval has a frequency of 2, which corresponds to the last 2 data points in the list:

2310

4260

Since there are 25 data points in total, and the first 7 and last 2 have been accounted for, that leaves 16 data points for the remaining intervals.

If Jamie used 1000-foot intervals, each interval would cover a 1000-foot range. The remaining data points range from 1200 to 4200 feet, so they are divided into 1000-2000, 2000-3000, and 3000-4000 foot intervals.

If Jamie used 500-foot intervals, each interval would cover a 500-foot range.

Thus, because the remaining data points range from 1200 to 4200 feet, they are divided into 1000-1499, 1500-1999, 2000-2499, 2500-2999, 3000-3499, 3500-3999, and 4000-4499 foot intervals.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the rectangular prism is V = 64 units³

What is the volume of a prism?

A three-dimensional solid object called a prism has two identical ends. It consists of equal cross-sections, flat faces, and identical bases. Without bases, the prism's faces are parallelograms or rectangles.

The volume of a prism is the product of its base area and height

Volume of Prism = B x h

where B = base area of prism

h = height of prism

Given data ,

Let the volume of the rectangular prism be represented as V

Now , the height of the prism is H = 4 units

The length and width of the prism is 1 and 16 units respectively

So , the base area of the prism B = 16 units²

Now , Volume of Prism = B x h

On simplifying , we get

The volume of rectangular prism V = 16 x 4

The volume of rectangular prism V = 64 units³

Hence , the volume of the rectangular prism is 64 units³
