The possible solution to the equation given is 3 and -1/3

<h3>Laws of logarithm</h3>

Given the logarithmic expression given as:

log,(8x) – log,(x^2 - 1) = log, 3

Applying the product and quotient rule will give:

log(8x/x^2-1) = log3

8x/x^2-1 = 3

Cross multiply

8x = 3x^2 - 3

3x^2 - 8x - 3 = 0

3x^2 -9x + x - 3 = 0

3x(x-3)+1(x-3)

x - 3 = 0 and 3x = -1

x = 3 and -1/3

Hence the possible solution to the equation given is 3 and -1/3

Answer:

The central angle for the cheese sector would be 108 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a pi chart takes the form of a circle so the total angle measure is 360 degrees.

Now we want to find out what ratio of the pie chart that cheese takes up and apply it to the total degree measure.

30 of 100 students voted for cheese:

so the ratio would be 30/100 or 3/10

Now apply that to the total angle measure:

3/10*360 degrees= 108 degrees.

In AKLM, m = 1.2 cm, k = 5.1 cm and

Elodia [21]

Answer:

4.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosines is applicable.

l² = k² +m² -2km·cos(L)

l² = 5.1² +1.2² -2·5.1·1.2·cos(35°) ≈ 17.4236

l ≈ √17.4236

l ≈ 4.2 . . . cm

Jim takes out a mortgage for 30 years at an interest rate of 2.49% and his monthly repayments are $986.50. What is the principal

Svetllana [295]

The principal loan amount will be 250000. P is denoted by the principal loan amount

<h3> What is the amount?</h3>

The complete repayment of money at the end of the period for which it was borrowed is referred to as the amount.

The given data in the problem is;

P is the principal loan amount

r is the rate of interest = 2.49%

n is the time period= of 30 years

The formula for the principal loan amount is found as;

$\rm P=M(1-(1+\frac{r}{12} )^{\frac{12}{n}$

$\rm P=986.50(1-(1+\frac{0.249}{12} )^{\frac{12}{30} }\\\\ P= 250000$

Hence the principal loan amount will be 250000.
