Use this property of logarithms:

\log_b\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right)=\log_b x-\log_b y

Your equation transforms into:

log_4\left(\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5}\right)=1

Now, you have to apply the definition of a logarithm to express the equation in exponential form:

\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5} = 4^1

In case you don't remember, this is the definition of a logarithm:

\log_b x = y \iff b^y = x

The log is the exponent (y) you have to raise the base (b) to in order to get the power (x).

Finally, solve the rational equation:

\dfrac{x^2+3x}{x+5} =4 \iff x^2+3x=4(x+5)
\iff x^2-x-20=0
\iff x=\dfrac{1\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4\cdot(-20)}}{2}= \left \{ {{5} \atop {-4}} \right.

The correct answer is d.

Trava [24]
Given:
5 bonds of face value of 1,000 that paid 5% annual interest rate.

5 bonds x 1,000 = 5,000
5,000 x 5% x 1 year = 250

The total annual interest income of James is 250. Each bond earns 50 per annum.

Consider the incomplete paragraph proof. Given: Isosceles right triangle XYZ (45°–45°–90° triangle) Prove: In a 45°–45°–90° tria
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

(C)Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Isosceles right triangle XYZ (45°–45°–90° triangle)

To Prove: In a 45°–45°–90° triangle, the hypotenuse is \sqrt{2} times the length of each leg.

Proof:

\angle XYZ$ is 90^\circ$ and the other 2 angles are 45^\circ. \\\overline{XY} = a, \overline{YZ}= a, \overline{XZ}= c.\\

Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Since a=b in an isosceles triangle:

a^2 + a^2 = c^2\\$Combining like terms\\2a^2 = c^2\\$Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.\\\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{2a^2}  \\\\c=a\sqrt{2} \\

Therefore, the next step is to Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

Gina is buying bags of apples at the grocery store. Each bag of apples has five apples in it. Which equation shows the relations
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

y=5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given no of bags is x

No of apples in each bag is 5

Thus no of apples in x bags can be obtained by multiplying no of bags(x in this case)   with No of apples in each bag  (5 in this case).

Total no of apples in x bag = 5*x = 5x

As y represent relationship between number of apples and bag. 5x will be equal to y.

it can be represented as y = 5x

Thus equation A y=5x   shows the relationship between the number of apples, y, and the number of bags, x
