We can expand the logarithm of a product as a sum of logarithms:

Then using the change of base formula, we can derive the relationship

This immediately tells us that

Notice that none of
can be equal to 1. This is because

for any choice of
. This means we can safely do the following without worrying about division by 0.

so that

Similarly,

so that

So we end up with

###
Another way to do this:



Then

So we have

Answer:
19.9 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we have:
is the distance travelled during the 1st day
is the distance travelled during the 2nd day
is the distance travelled during the 3rd day
is the distance travelled during the 4th day
We notice that the difference between the distance travelled on the (n+1)-th day and the distance travelled on the n-th day doubles every day. In fact:

Which can be rewritten using the general formula:

This means that

By applying this formula recursively, we can find the 7th term, which is the distance travelled on the 7th day:

So, the distance travelled on the 7th day is 19.9 miles.
Our objective is to isolate n one side of the equation. The steps are as follows...
a=m-n
(Add n to both sides)
a+n=m-n+n
(The -n and +n cancel out, on the right side of the equation)
a+n=m
(Now subtract a from both sides)
a+n-a=m+a
(The +a and -a cancel out, on the right side of the equation)
n=m+a
A 120 watt light bulb uses about 0.1 kilowatt of electricity per hour.if electricity costs $0.20 per kilowatt hour.
Let's solve how much does it cost to have a bulb on
for an hour.
=> 120 watt = 0.1 kilowatt per hour which costs 0.20 per kilowatt per
=> 0.1 kilowatt per hour * 0.20 = 0.02 dollars in an hour.
