First, try 99^3 = 970299; therefore, it is not the least possible value.

The above number is a multiple of 99, so we can factor this out to find the least possible value. So we try to factor 99:

99 = 9 * 11
99 = 3^2 * 11^ 1

and 3^3 * 11^3 = 35937

The least possible value is 4^1 + 11^2 = 125. Its sum is 125 which is a perfect cube.

Which expression is equivalent to log_5(x/4)^2?

viktelen [127]

For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:

$log_ {5} (\frac {x} {4}) ^ 2$

So:

We expanded $log_ {5} ((\frac {x} {4}) ^ 2)$ by moving 2 out of the logarithm:

$2log_ {5} (\frac {x} {4})$

By definition of logarithm properties we have to:

The logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithms of each factor:

$log (xy) = log (x) + log (y)$

The logarithm of a division is equal to the difference of logarithms of the numerator and denominator.

$log (\frac {x} {y}) = log (x) -log (y)$

Then, rewriting the expression:

$2 (log_ {5} (x) -log_ {5} (4))$

We apply distributive property:

$2log_ {5} (x) -2log_ {5} (4)$

Answer:

An equivalent expression is:

$2log_ {5} (x) -2log_ {5} (4)$

Which expressions are equivalent to 3x + 2(x − 1) − 4?

alina1380 [7]

5x-6 is equivalent. This is because 2 (x-1) becomes 2x-2, which makes the expression 3x+2x-2-4, which when put all together becomes 5x-6.
