Short Answer x = - 6
Remark
You gave the second best answer.
The trick here is not to divide both sides by 2. Solve the problem this way.
log_5(x + 1)^2 = 2 Take the antilog of both sides
(x + 1)^2 = 5^2 Expand the equation
x^2 + 2x + 1 = 25 Subtract 25 from both sides.
x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0 Factor
(x + 6)(x - 4) = 0 Find the zeros.
x + 6 = 0
x = - 6 <<<<<<<< Answer. This is the extraneous root.
The reason this is an extraneous root is that x<=0 do not have a logarithem
x - 4 = 0
x = 4 This is a legitimate result to the original equation.
Since its telling you that x is the number of years and the question is "How much does the cost of milk increase EVERY YEAR" then you can conclude that the cost is increasing by 0.25 each year
We are given : Distance of the swing = 100 feet.
Distance of slide = 80 feet.
Angle between swing and slide = 30 degrees.
We need to find the distance between the swing and the slide.
Distance of swing, distance of slide and distance between the swing and the slide form a triangle.
We can apply cosine law to find the distance between the swing and the slide.
c^2 = a^2 +b^2 - 2ab cos C
c^2 = 100^2 +80^2 - 2(100)(80) cos 30°
c^2 = 10000 + 6400 -2* 8000 
c^2 = 16400 - 8000
c^2 = 16400 - 13856
c^2 = 2544
c= 50.44
c = 50 feet approximately.
<h3>Therefore, the approximate distance between the swing and the slide is 50 feet.</h3>
Answer:
y2 = C1xe^(4x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y1 = e^(4x) is a solution to the differential equation
y'' - 8y' + 16y = 0
We want to find the second solution y2 of the equation using the method of reduction of order.
Let
y2 = uy1
Because y2 is a solution to the differential equation, it satisfies
y2'' - 8y2' + 16y2 = 0
y2 = ue^(4x)
y2' = u'e^(4x) + 4ue^(4x)
y2'' = u''e^(4x) + 4u'e^(4x) + 4u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)
= u''e^(4x) + 8u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)
Using these,
y2'' - 8y2' + 16y2 =
[u''e^(4x) + 8u'e^(4x) + 16ue^(4x)] - 8[u'e^(4x) + 4ue^(4x)] + 16ue^(4x) = 0
u''e^(4x) = 0
Let w = u', then w' = u''
w'e^(4x) = 0
w' = 0
Integrating this, we have
w = C1
But w = u'
u' = C1
Integrating again, we have
u = C1x
But y2 = ue^(4x)
y2 = C1xe^(4x)
And this is the second solution
Answer:
160/17 miles per gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
The typical rate of distance and gallons is distance per gallons, so divide the distance by the number of gallons.
(320 miles)/(34 gallons) = 160/17 miles per gallon
