The table shows a student's proof of the quotient rule for logarithms.

Mathematics
1 answer:
nikklg [1K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The error is at step (3) .

The correct step (3) will be,

\log_{b}(\frac {b^{x}}{b^{y}})

= \log_{b}(b^{x - y})   [by using the laws of indices]

All other steps are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The error is at the step (3) , because the student has tried to prove the quotient rule of logarithms by using the property i.e., 'The quotient rule of logarithm' itself , i.e. ,by  assuming the property does hold before proving it. So, the proof is fallacious.

The correct step (3) will be,

\log_{b}(\frac {b^{x}}{b^{y}})

= \log_{b}(b^{x - y})   [by using the laws of indices]

All other steps are correct.

Clive has a phone plan where he pays double his base per minute rate for any additional minute spent on a call over twenty minut
Sidana [21]

The two variables that we should use are:

  • x = number of minutes that the call lasted.
  • y = cost of that call.
<h3>What variables should we use?</h3>

Here we want to study a relation between the cost per call as the function of the minutes that the call lasted.

So, we need to use two variables, x will be the number of minutes that call lasted, this is the independent variable.

And the variable that depends on that should be the cost of the call, let's say, y is the cost of the call.

These are the two variables that we need to model the situation:

y = f(x)

There says:

<em>"The cost of the call is a </em><em>function </em><em>of the number of minutes that the call lasted".</em>

Find the inverse f(x) = 4x+2
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Let's solve for x.

y=4x+2

Step 1: Flip the equation.

4x+2=y

Step 2: Add -2 to both sides.

4x+2+−2=y+−2

4x=y−2

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4=y−2/4

x=1/4y+ −1/2

Answer:

x=1/4y+ −1/2
