Log 5 (5x+25) - 2 = 0

For starting, we'll have to impose constraints of
existance of logarithm
function.


5x+25>0


We'll
add -25 both
sides:


5x>-25


We'll
divide by
5:


x>-5


So, for the
logarithms to exist, the values of x have to be in the interval (-5,
+inf.)


We'll shift the free term to the right
side:


log 5 (5x+25) = 2


We'll
create matching bases to the right side.


log 5 (5x+25) =
log 5 (5^2)


Now, we'll use the one to one
property:


5x+25 = 25


We'll
eliminate like terms:


5x =
25-25


5x = 0


We'll divide by
5:


x = 0 >
-5


The solution is admissible because the
value belongs to the interval (-5,+inf.)

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
