Number of books each of them have:
Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)
There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24 / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200 / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40
Doublecheck:
Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102
102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)
Step-by-step explanation:
- ATTACHED IS THE SOLUTION!
The vertex point is (0,4)
The two other points are (-2,0)(2,0)
Answer:
a)
a1 = log(1) = 0 (2⁰ = 1)
a2 = log(2) = 1 (2¹ = 2)
a3 = log(3) = ln(3)/ln(2) = 1.098/0.693 = 1.5849
a4 = log(4) = 2 (2² = 4)
a5 = log(5) = ln(5)/ln(2) = 1.610/0.693 = 2.322
a6 = log(6) = log(3*2) = log(3)+log(2) = 1.5849+1 = 2.5849 (here I use the property log(a*b) = log(a)+log(b)
a7 = log(7) = ln(7)/ln(2) = 1.9459/0.6932 = 2.807
a8 = log(8) = 3 (2³ = 8)
a9 = log(9) = log(3²) = 2*log(3) = 2*1.5849 = 3.1699 (I use the property log(a^k) = k*log(a) )
a10 = log(10) = log(2*5) = log(2)+log(5) = 1+ 2.322= 3.322
b) I can take the results of log n we previously computed above to calculate 2^log(n), however the idea of this exercise is to learn about the definition of log_2:
log(x) is the number L such that 2^L = x. Therefore 2^log(n) = n if we take the log in base 2. This means that
a1 = 1
a2 = 2
a3 = 3
a4 = 4
a5 = 5
a6 = 6
a7 = 7
a8 = 8
a9 = 9
a10 = 10
I hope this works for you!!
