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.

(1) In the diagram below, AC || DF|| BH || and CB || FE.
Liula [17]

Answer:

Part 1) Triangles ABC, DBG, DEF and BEH are similar

Part 2) \frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{DE}{DF}=\frac{DB}{DG}=\frac{BE}{BH}

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

we know that    

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem Triangles ABC, DBG, DEF and BEH are similar, because its corresponding angles are congruent by AA Similarity Theorem

Part 2)

Remember that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal

therefore

\frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{DE}{DF}=\frac{DB}{DG}=\frac{BE}{BH}
