Answer:

The equation is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation, written as:

[log_2 (10)][log_4 (8)][log_10 (4)] = 3

Consider the change of base formula:

log_a (x) = [log_10 (x)]/ [log_10 (a)]

Applying the change of base formula to change the expressions in base 2 and base 4 to base 10.

(1)

log_2 (10) = [log_10 (10)]/[log_10 (2)]

= 1/[log_10 (2)]

(Because log_10 (10) = 1)

(2)

log_4 (8) = [log_10 (8)]/[log_10 (4)]

Now putting the values of these new logs in base 10 into the left-hand side of original equation to verify if we have 3, we have:

[log_10 (2)][log_8 (4)][log_10 (4)]

= [1/ log_10 (2)][log_10 (8) / log_10 (4)][log_10 (4)]

= [1/log_10 (2)] [log_10 (8)]

= [log_10 (8)]/[log_10 (2)]

= [log_10 (2³)]/[log_10 (2)]

Since log_b (a^x) = xlog_b (a)

= 3[log_10 (2)]/[log_10 (2)]

= 3 as required

Therefore, the left hand side of the equation is equal to the right hand side of the equation.

Palindrome numbers are numbers that read the same foward or backward. Here are some palindrome numbers: 11, 121, 75257, and 1234

KatRina [158]

Answer:

99.

Step-by-step explanation:

A palindrome number is one that can be read in the same way both from the front and from the back. A clear example is the number 242, which starts and ends in the same way from the front or back.

Between 10 and 100, there are 9 palindromes, from 11 to 99. In turn, between 100 and 200, 200 and 300 and so on, each hundred has within it 10 palindromes (101, 111, 121, 131, 141 , 151, 161, 171, 181 and 191, for example).

Therefore, considering the 9 hundreds between 100 and 1000, there will be 90 palindromes, which added to the 9 between 10 and 100 give a total of 99 palindromes.

Graphing Form for Linear Equations in 2 variables.

NeX [460]

X-intercept: y = 0
y-intercept: x = 0

3x + 4y = 0

x-intercept: subtitute y = 0
3x + 4 · 0 = 0
3x = 0
x = 0 → (0; 0)

y-intercept: subtitute x = 0
3 · 0 + 4y = 0
4y = 0
y = 0 → (0; 0)

License plates are made using 3 letters followed by 2 digits. How many plates can be made if repetition of letters and digits is

Helga [31]

Answer:

$26^3\times10^2 = 1757600$

option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 5 spaces in the license plate:

_ _ _ _ _

we have 26 available letters, and 10 available numbers.

starting with letters:

how many choices do i have to place the 1st letter? 26.

26 _ _ _ _

how many choices do i have to place the 2nd letter? 26 (since we're allowed to repeat letters)

26 26 _ _ _

how many choices do i have to place the 3rd letter? 26

26 26 26 _ _

we've used all the places for letters, (note: the exact position of the letters doesn't matter here, the first letter could've been placed anywhere in _ _ _ _ _, but the amount of possible choices for letters would always be 26).

let's move on to numbers.

how many choices do i have to place the 1st number? 10

26 26 26 10 _

how many choices do i have to place the 2nd number? 10

26 26 26 10 10

we've completed our number plate. Next we'll simply multiply all these numbers to get all the possible arrangements in which numbers and letters can be displayed on a license place.

$26^3\times10^2 = 1757600$

option B is correct
