Answer:
0.053246
Step-by-step explanation:
log(26)−log(23)
=1.414973−log(23)
=1.414973−1.361728
=0.053246
Notice that half of the coefficient of x is (1/2)(-4), or -2.
Then x^2 - 4x becomes
x^2 - 4x + 4 - 4 = 0, or (x -2)^2 = 4. Then x = -2 plus or minus 2, and the two roots are 0 and -4.
Thus, add 4 to both sides to obtain x^2 - 4x + 4 = 4.
Following rules of logs, we can do the following:
log x^4 - log y^(1/2) + log z^3
Combine the first and 3rd factors to get log [x^4*z^3]
Seeing that the neg. sign signifies division, write this new term - log y^(1/2) as a quotient:
[x^4*z^3]
log ----------------
y^(1/2)
