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

AB is diameter. <br><br> ( I need help asap it’s due at 11:59 pm)
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Arc AB= 180 degrees

Arc BC= 15 degrees

Arc CA= 165 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the measure of each arc, start by recognizing that a circle equals 360 degrees, and the measure angle of the diameter of this circle is equal to half of 360 degrees, which is 180 degrees.

Since segment AB is the diameter of the circle, it will equal 180 degrees. Thus, causing arc AB equal to 180 degrees.

Next, arc BC equals 15 degrees because the measure of angle BOC is equal to the measure of arc BC.  

Then, to find the measure of arc CA, use the diameter of the circle, which is segment AB. Segment AB is equal to 180 degrees, which makes arc AB equal to 180 degrees. Also known is the measure of arc BC, which is 15 degrees. To find the measure of arc CA, subtract the measure of arc BC from the measure of arc AB, and the answer will be 165 degrees.

This looks like 180 degrees - 15 degrees = 165 degrees.

To check if the arc measures are correct, add all the arc measures together. If they sum up to 360 degrees, then the measure of each arc is correct.
