Hope this helped. :)

Any point, <span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span></span> on the parabola satisfies the definition of parabola, so there are two distances to calculate:

<span>Distance between the point on the parabola to the focusDistance between the point on the parabola to the directrix</span>

To find the equation of the parabola, equate these two expressions and solve for <span><span>y0</span><span>y0</span></span> .

Find the equation of the parabola in the example above.

Distance between the point <span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span></span> and <span><span>(<span>a,b</span>)</span><span>(<span>a,b</span>)</span></span> :

<span><span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−b</span>)</span>2</span></span><span>‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾</span>√</span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−b</span>)</span>2</span></span></span>

Distance between point <span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span></span> and the line <span><span>y=c</span><span>y=c</span></span> :

<span><span><span>∣∣</span><span><span>y0</span>−c</span><span>∣∣</span></span><span>| <span><span>y0</span>−c</span> |</span></span>

(Here, the distance between the point and horizontal line is difference of their <span>yy</span> -coordinates.)

Equate the two expressions.

<span><span><span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−b</span>)</span>2</span></span><span>‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾</span>√</span>=<span><span>∣∣</span><span><span>y0</span>−c</span><span>∣∣</span></span></span><span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−b</span>)</span>2</span></span>=<span>| <span><span>y0</span>−c</span> |</span></span></span>

Square both sides.

<span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−b</span>)</span>2</span>=<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−c</span>)</span>2</span></span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−b</span>)</span>2</span>=<span><span>(<span><span>y0</span>−c</span>)</span>2</span></span></span>

Expand the expression in <span><span>y0</span><span>y0</span></span> on both sides and simplify.

<span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span>b2</span>−<span>c2</span>=2<span>(<span>b−c</span>)</span><span>y0</span></span><span><span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span>b2</span>−<span>c2</span>=2<span>(<span>b−c</span>)</span><span>y0</span></span></span>

This equation in <span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span><span>(<span><span>x0</span>,<span>y0</span></span>)</span></span> is true for all other values on the parabola and hence we can rewrite with <span><span>(<span>x,y</span>)</span><span>(<span>x,y</span>)</span></span> .

Therefore, the equation of the parabola with focus <span><span>(<span>a,b</span>)</span><span>(<span>a,b</span>)</span></span> and directrix <span><span>y=c</span><span>y=c</span></span> is

<span><span><span><span>(<span>x−a</span>)</span>2</span>+<span>b2</span>−<span>c2</span>=2<span>(<span>b−c</span>)</span>y</span></span>

Answer:

\log_{10}(147) = 2.1673

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\log_{10} 3 = 0.4771

\log_{10} 5 = 0.6990

\log_{10} 7= 0.8451

\log_{10} 11 = 1.0414

Required

Evaluate \log_{10}(147)

Expand

\log_{10}(147) = \log_{10}(49 * 3)

Further expand

\log_{10}(147) = \log_{10}(7 * 7 * 3)

Apply product rule of logarithm

\log_{10}(147) = \log_{10}(7) + \log_{10}(7) + \log_{10}(3)

Substitute values for log(7) and log(3)

\log_{10}(147) = 0.8451 + 0.8451 + 0.4771

\log_{10}(147) = 2.1673
