Answer:

2. m = b³ (= 216)

3. logp(x) = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2. The given equation can be written using the change of base formula as ...

... log(m)/log(b) + 9·log(b)/log(m) = 6

If we define x = log(m)/log(b), then this becomes ...

... x + 9/x = 6

Subtracting 6 and multiplying by x gives ...

... x² -6x +9 = 0

... (x -3)² = 0 . . . . . factored

... x = 3 . . . . . . . . . value of x that makes it true

Remembering that x = log(m)/log(b), this means

... 3 = log(m)/log(b)

... 3·log(b) = log(m) . . . . . multiply by the denominator; next, take the antilog

... m = b³ . . . . . . the expression you're looking for

___

3. Substituting the given expression for y, the equation becomes ...

... logp(x^2·(p^5)^3) = 7

... logp(x^2) + logp(p^15) = 7 . . . . . use the rule for log of a product

... 2logp(x) + 15 = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . use the definition of a logarithm

... 2logp(x) = -8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 15

... logp(x) = -4 . . . . . . divide by 2

Answer:

For #3: \log_px=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm a little rusty on my logarithm rules for #2, but here's an explanation of #3.

<h3>Logarithms: the Inverse of Exponents</h3>

In a sense, we can think of operations like subtraction and division as different ways of representing addition and multiplication. For instance, the same relationship described by the equation 2 + 3 = 5 is captured in the equation 5 - 3 = 2, and 5 × 2 = 10 can be restated as 10 ÷ 2 = 5 without any loss of meaning.

Logarithms do the same thing for exponents: the expression 2^3=8 can be expressed in logarithms as \log_28=3. Put another way, logarithms are a sort of way of pulling an exponent out onto its own side of the equals sign.

<h3>The Problem</h3>

Our problem gives us two facts to start: that log_p(x^2y^3)=7 and p^5=y. With that, we're expected to find the value of \log_px. p^5=y stands out as the odd-equation-out here; it's the only one not in terms of logarithms. We can fix that by rewriting it as the equivalent statement log_py=5. Now, let's unpack that first logarithm.

<h3>Justifying Some Logarithm Rules</h3>

For a refresher, let's talk about some of the rules logarithms follow and why they follow them:

Product Rule: \log_b(MN)=\log_bM+\log_bN

The product rule turns multiplication in the argument (parentheses) of a logarithm into addition. For a proof of this, consider two numbers M=b^x and N=b^y. We could rewrite these two equations with logarithms as \log_bM=x and \log_bN=y. With those in mind, we could say the following:

  • \log_b(MN)=\log_b(b^xb^y) (Substitution)
  • \log_b(b^xb^y)=log_b(b^{x+y}) (Laws of exponents)
  • \log_b(b^{x+y})=x+y (\log_b(b^n)=n)
  • x+y=\log_bM+\log_bN (Substitution)

And we have our proof.

Exponent Rule: \log_b(M^n)=n\log_bM

Since exponents can be thought of as abbreviations for repeated multiplication, we can rewrite \log_b(M^n) as \log_b(M\times M\cdots \times M), where M is being multiplied by itself n times. From there, we can use the product rule to rewrite our logarithm as the sum \log_bM+\log_bM+\cdots+\log_bM, and since we have the term \log_bM added n times, we can rewrite is as n\log_bM, proving the rule.

<h3>Solving the Problem</h3>

With those rules in hand, we're ready to solve the problem. Looking at the equation \log_p(x^2y^3)=7, we can use the product rule to split the logarithm into the sum \log_p(x^2)+\log_p(y^3)=7, and then use the product rule to turn the exponents in each logarithm's argument into coefficients, giving the equation 2\log_px+3\log_py=7.

Remember how earlier we rewrote p^5=y as log_py=5? We can now use that fact to substitute 5 in for log_py, giving us

2\log_px+3(5)=7

From here, we can simply solve the equation for \log_px:

2\log_px+15=7\\2\log_px=-8\\\\\log_px=-4

Jim's backyard is a rectangle that is 15 5/6 yards long and 10 2/5 yards wide. Jim buys sods in pieces that are 1 1/3 yards long
Ne4ueva [31]

We are given

Jim's backyard:

Length is

L=15\frac{5}{6} =\frac{95}{6} yards

width is

W=10\frac{2}{5} =\frac{52}{5} yards

Since, this is rectangle

so, we can find area of rectangle

A=L*W

A=(\frac{95}{6})*(\frac{52}{5})

A=\frac{494}{3} yard^2

Area of one sod:

length is

l=1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{4}{3} yards

width is

w=1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{4}{3} yards

Since, it is rectangle in shape

so,

Area=l*w

A=\frac{4}{3}*\frac{4}{3}

A=\frac{16}{9}yard^2

Number of pieces of sod:

we can use formula

Number of pieces of sod = (area of Jim's backyard)/(area of one sod)

N=\frac{\frac{494}{3} }{\frac{16}{9} }

now, we can simplify it

N=\frac{741}{8} pieces need ..............Answer

HELP ME FAST PLZ ❗️.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

You use law of sines, and get: AB/sin(53) = 7/sin(44)

You multiply both sides by sin(53), and get:

AB = 7*sin(53)/sin(44)

That means AB is 8.04776679886, which rounds to 8

Can someone help with this question? thanks
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Regular: C & E

Irregular: A & B

Not a polygon: F & D

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygon is a close sided shape with no curves. Since F and D have curves they are not polygons. Regular polygons have side lengths which are all equal to each other. C and E are regular polygons. Irregular polygons are polygons whose sides have different values from each other. A and B are irregular.

I need help finding the lowest term for -8/9+11/15​
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

-7/45

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the lowest common denominator for 9 and 15. It's 45. Make both fractions over 45 by multiplying the top and bottom by the same number.

-\frac{8}{9} +\frac{11}{15}

= -\frac{8*5}{9*5} +\frac{11*3}{15*3}  Since 15*3=45, multiply the top by 3 also.    Since 9*5=45, multiply the top by 5 also.

= -\frac{40}{45} +\frac{33}{45}

= \frac{-40+33}{45}    Combine the fractions

= -\frac{7}{45}    Answer in lowest terms
