NEED HELP! D: Algebra 2!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay let's do this step by step First thing you wanna do is square both sides Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was 2 haha.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Help me with this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha so im guessing you're okay with this question? Do you understand how to do it? haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No I don't understand how to do the one I just loaded..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so i believe you have to multiply both sides by ln The e^(ln) will cancel on left side while on the right side it will be ln3 Your answer will end up being x = ln3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so to explain properly ln*e^(lnx) will result in x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you remember what e =? isn't it 2.758 or something..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.718!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but you dont need to know that for this question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e is just a variable :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So is the answer 3*ln?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope the answer was 3 lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol well dammit...wonder how.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember what happens when you multiply exponents?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you add exponents when it is in the form x^2 * x^3 which is x^5 notice it has to be the same base now you multiply exponents when it is in the form (x^3)^2 which is x^6 so for this one it is (15^(1/7))^7 which is 15^((1/7)*7) = 15^(7/7) =? what is the final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15? o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good girk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

girl*.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha the answer is 15? That doesn't seem right..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is trust me :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was haha:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay first correct answer!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or do I do the whole foil thing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or is it 3+9i?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it isnt right You do the distribution properly so (3 - i)(1+5i) 3*1 + 5i*3 + (-i)*1 +(-i)*5i 3+15i - i - 5i^2 3+14i -5(-1) 5+3 + 14i 8 + 14i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yes yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol do you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes hahaha. but doesn't the last number become just a number without the i?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope because that i represents root(-1) which is invalid in an equation Hence why the i has to be there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you have to use ln for this one...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So.. 28^x = 7 ln 28^x = ln 7 x * ln28 = ln 7 x = ln (7/28) x = ln 1/4 Try that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1.39

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i hope so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No but oh well :P You know how to do these:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it isnt the answer? lol how many do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No but I need help with this one and I have a lot haha....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha make this the last one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol same thing as the one with the 15 8/8 simplifies to 1 your answer is 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you for all your help!:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem:) if you wanna go for one more im happy to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok let's do this step by step Square both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2+4=9x+256???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

leave everything inside the square root the same you got the left hand side right so x^2 + 4 = 3x + 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now move all the values to the one side so x^2 - 3x - 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now factor remember the other side = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to do that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I do I just can't remember.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so what you see up there is not factorable Hence we have to use the quadratic equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh okay..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill get back to you on the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are two answers... Here: 5.27 and -2.27 I suggest asking someone to confirm this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i gotta eat now so later

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well thank you very much for all your help!:D
