Question

Pls help pls pls ): precalc

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is incorrect. The definition of logarithms is that if $log_{a}b=c$, then $a^c=b$.

The variables are in the wrong place. The correct answer should be:

$log_{p}N=b, p^b=N$

B is correct since as $ln(x)=log_{e}(x)$. Thus, $e^y=x$

C is correct because the square root of anything is simply that thing to the one-half power.

D is also correct as this is the definition of a logarithm.

Answer 2

Answer: Choice A

$\log_p N = b$ is not the same as $b^p = N$

The base of the log is p, while the base of the exponential is b. The two don't match. If it said $\log_p N = b \text{ is the same as } p^b = N$ then it would be a valid statement since the bases are both p.

-----------------

Extra info:

Choice B is a valid statement because Ln is a natural log with base 'e'

Choice C is valid as any square root is really something to the 1/2 power

Choice D is valid for similar reasons mentioned earlier
