Answer:

3 1/2 cups butter

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the batches (5) by the amount of butter (3/4 cup)

5/1 * 3/4 = 5*3 = 15; 1*4 =4 15/4

Divide 15 by 4 to turn from improper fraction to mixed number:

15/4 = 3 and 2/4; reduce to 3 1/2

Answer:

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Properties of Logarithms</u>

We'll recall below the basic properties of logarithms:

$log_b(1) = 0$

Logarithm of the base:

$log_b(b) = 1$

Product rule:

$log_b(xy) = log_b(x) + log_b(y)$

Division rule:

$\displaystyle log_b(\frac{x}{y}) = log_b(x) - log_b(y)$

Power rule:

$log_b(x^n) = n\cdot log_b(x)$

Change of base:

$\displaystyle log_b(x) = \frac{ log_a(x)}{log_a(b)}$

Simplifying logarithms often requires the application of one or more of the above properties.

Simplify

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)$

Factoring $64=2^6$ .

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(2^6)$

Applying the power rule:

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=6\cdot log_\frac{1}{2}(2)$

Since

$\displaystyle 2=(1/2)^{-1}$

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=6\cdot log_\frac{1}{2}((1/2)^{-1})$

Applying the power rule:

$\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=-6\cdot log_\frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2})$

Applying the logarithm of the base:

$\mathbf{\displaystyle log_\frac{1}{2}(64)=-6}$

Question Help

Oxana [17]

X + y = 23000

x.08 + y.09 = 2040

x = 23000 - y

(23000 - y) .08 + y.09 = 2040

1840 - .08y + .09y = 2040

Simplify

.01y = 200

Simplify

Y = 20000

X + 20000 = 23000

X = 3000

CHECK: .08x + .09(20000) = 2040

.08x + 1800 = 2040

Simply .08x = 240

X = 3000
