Hello there!

Here, you simply need to make sure both fractions have common denominators!

Denominator = bottom number

10 and 2 are denominators!

So, let's look at them. 10 is not the same as 2.

The ONLY way to make them the same is multiplication.

So, since 10 is the bigger number, we'll leave it alone. Let's look at 2.

Can 2 become 10? Yes! How? Multiply 2 by 5!

2 x 5 = 10

Now let's look at the fraction!

1/2 --> ?/10

If we multiplied 2 by 5, then we also have to multiply 1 by 5!

1/2 --> 5/10

So now you've got:

7/10 + 5/10

Add the numerators (top numbers) together.

7+5 = 12

When adding/subtracting, the denominators always stay the same!

12/10 = your (unsimplified) answer.

Now we have to simplify it. How? Divide the top and bottom by 2!

12/2 = 6
10/2 = 5

So your simplified answer would be 6/5 !

Hope this helped!

Classify each function. (a) y = x − 3 x + 3 root function logarithmic function power function trigonometric function rational fu
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

a) rational

b) rational

c)exponential

d) power function

e) polynomial function of degree 6

f) trig function

Step-by-step explanation:

Functions can be classified by the operations they contain. Remember the following functions:

  • Power function has as its main operation of an exponent on the variable.
  • Root function has as its main operation a radical.
  • Log function has as its main operation a log.
  • Trig function has as its main operation sine, cosine, tangent, etc.
  • Rational exponent has as its main function division by a variable.
  • Exponential function has as its main operation a variable as an exponent.
  • Polynomial function is similar to a power function. It has as its main function an exponent of 2 or greater on the variable.

Below is listed each function. The bolded choice is the correct type of function:

(a) y = x − 3 / x + 3 root function logarithmic function power function trigonometric function rational function exponential function polynomial function of degree 3

(b) y = x + x2 / x − 2 power function rational function algebraic function logarithmic function polynomial function of degree 2 root function exponential function trigonometric function

(c) y = 5^x logarithmic function root function trigonometric function exponential function polynomial function of degree 5 power function

(d) y = x^5 trigonometric function power function exponential function root function logarithmic function

(e) y = 7t^6 + t^4 − π logarithmic function rational function exponential function trigonometric function power function algebraic function root function polynomial function of degree 6

(f) y = cos(θ) + sin(θ) logarithmic function exponential function root function algebraic function rational function power function polynomial function of degree 6 trigonometric function

Use the properties of exponential and logarithmic functions to solve each system. Check your answers.
BlackZzzverrR [31]

The solved logarithmic function is 2x - y = e and x + y = 8 for log (2x - y) = 1 and log (x + y) = 3 log 2 respectively.

What is a logarithmic and exponential function?

Logarithmic functions and exponential functions are inverses of each other. The logarithmic function is denoted by using the word log while exponential by using the alphabet,  e. For example log 10 = 1 and e^2.

Solving the given expressions: log (2x - y) = 1 and log (x + y) = 3 log 2

Applying given properties of logarithmic and exponential function;

log a + log b = log (ab)

4 log x = log x⁴

e^(log x) = 1

e^(x + y) = (e^x) × (e^y)

Take expression, log (2x - y) = 1

Applying exponential on both sides, we get,

e^(log 2x - y) = e^1

2x - y = e

To Check Results,

Taking logarithm both sides,

log (2x - y) = log e

log (2x - y) = 1

Thus, the answer is verified.

Take expression, log (x + y) = 3 log 2

Applying exponential on both sides, we get,

e^(log (x + y) = e^(3 log 2)

x + y = e^(log 8)

x + y = 8

To Check Results,

Taking logarithm both sides,

log (x + y) = log 8

log (x + y) = 3 log 2

Thus, the answer is verified.

Hence, the solved expression is 2x - y = e and x + y = 8 for log (2x - y) = 1 and log (x + y) = 3 log 2 respectively.
