The inverse of the equation is the square root of x-16. In order to find inverse switch the y and x values and try to isolate y
This is because logarithm has its own set of properties that is different from algebra. The term log(3x - 1) is equivalent to log 3x/log 1. If we continue to rearrange and find x, the solution would be:
log(3x - 1) = log28
log 3x/log 1 = log 28
log 3x = log 28 * log 1 = 0
3x = 10⁰ = 1
3x = 1
x = 1/3
<em>So, that means 3x - 1 = 3(1/3) - 1 = 0.</em>
Recall that, an absolute value expression is a piece-wise in effect, thus we'd check the single-sided limits,
Answer:
Let p be the number of pencils.
3(14-p)=30+p
42-3p=30+p
4p=12, p=3.
So Peter ends up with 33 and Tony with 11. 3*11=33, so that confirms that Tony gave Peter 3 pencils.
