Log3 (x squared + 7x + 21) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

log <base a> b = x

means

a^x = b

So

3^2 = x^2+7x+21

x^2 + 7x + 21 - 9 = 0

x^2 + 7x + 12 = 0

(x+3)(x+4)

x = -3 or -4

the system of inequalities is

step-by-step explanation:

step 1

find the equation of the dashed line

we have the points

(0,0) and (3,1)

the line passes through the origin, so, is a direct variation

find the slope

the equation of the dashed line is

the solution of the inequality a s the shaded area above the dashed line

therefore

the equation of the inequality a is

step 2

find the equation of the solid line

we have the points

(4,0) and (0,4)

find the slope

the equation of the solid line is

the solution of the inequality b s the shaded area below the solid line

therefore

the equation of the inequality b is

step 3

the system of inequalities is
