Answer

(4+2) m(4 + \sqrt{2})\text{ m}

log⁡612+log⁡63=2\log_{6}^{12} + \log_{6}^{3} = 2

Step-by-step solution

6 steps

Here are the solutions to your math problems:

  1. A rectangular plot of land has an area of 14 m214 \text{ m}^2. If the width is (4−2) m(4 - \sqrt{2})\text{ m}, find the length of the land.
  1. Write the formula for the area of a rectangle and substitute the given values.

    The area of a rectangle is given by $A = L \times W$, where $A$ is the area, $L$ is the length, and $W$ is the width.  
    We are given $A = 14 \text{ m}^2$ and $W = (4 - \sqrt{2})\text{ m}$.  
    To find the length $L$, we rearrange the formula:
    $$
    L = \frac{A}{W}
    $$
    $$
    L = \frac{14}{4 - \sqrt{2}}
    $$
    
  2. Rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator.

    The conjugate of $(4 - \sqrt{2})$ is $(4 + \sqrt{2})$.
    $$
    L = \frac{14}{4 - \sqrt{2}} \times \frac{4 + \sqrt{2}}{4 + \sqrt{2}}
    $$
    $$
    L = \frac{14(4 + \sqrt{2})}{(4 - \sqrt{2})(4 + \sqrt{2})}
    $$
    
  3. Expand the numerator and denominator and simplify.

    Using the difference of squares formula $(a-b)(a+b) = a^2 - b^2$ for the denominator:
    $$
    L = \frac{14(4 + \sqrt{2})}{4^2 - (\sqrt{2})^2}
    $$
    $$
    L = \frac{14(4 + \sqrt{2})}{16 - 2}
    $$
    $$
    L = \frac{14(4 + \sqrt{2})}{14}
    $$
    $$
    L = 4 + \sqrt{2}
    $$
    The length of the land is $\boxed{(4 + \sqrt{2})\text{ m}}$.
    

    2. Simplify log⁡612+log⁡63\log_{6}^{12} + \log_{6}^{3}

  4. Apply the logarithm addition property.

    The property states that $\log_b x + \log_b y = \log_b (x \times y)$.  
    Here, $b=6$, $x=12$, and $y=3$.
    $$
    \log_{6}^{12} + \log_{6}^{3} = \log_{6}(12 \times 3)
    $$
    
  5. Calculate the product inside the logarithm.

    $$
    \log_{6}(12 \times 3) = \log_{6}(36)
    $$
    
  6. Evaluate the logarithm.

    We need to find the power to which 6 must be raised to get 36.  
    Since $6^2 = 36$, then $\log_{6}(36) = 2$.
    $$
    \log_{6}^{12} + \log_{6}^{3} = \boxed{2}
    $$
