Log 4 (2x-16) = 4

Before solving the equation, we have to impose constraints
of existance of logarithm
function.


2x-16>0


We'll
add 16 both
sides:


2x>16


We'll
divide by
2:


x>8


So, for the
logarithms to exist, the values of x have to be in the interval (8,
+inf.)


Now, we'll solve the
equation:


2x-16= 4^4


2x-16 =
256


We'll add 16 both
sides:


2x = 16+256


2x =
272


We'll divide by
2:


x =
136


The solution is admissible because the
value belongs to the interval (8,+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...
