Answer:
The characteristic of a logarithm is the number to the left of the decimal.
(The characteristic is like an exponent).
We are working with base 3 logs.
So if we are increasing a number by multiplying it by the base of the logarithm, (in this case 3 times 3) then we increase the characteristic by two.
Since 2 is the exponent of 3^2 then to get the log 3 of 72, we get the log3 (8) and increase it by 2.
1.8928 +2 = 3.8928
Had we been working with base 10 logs and we were multiplying a number by 100, We would increase the characteristic by 2 because 100 = 10^2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Suppose you have a fair coin: this means it has a 50% chance of landing heads up and a 50% chance of landing tails up. Suppose you flip it three times and these flips are independent. What is the probability that it lands heads up, then tails up, then heads up? So the answer is 1/8, or 12.5%.
To evaluate 4y/x for x=8 and y=0 we shall have:
4y/x=(4×0)/8
=0/8
=0
Answer; 0
