If a logarithm has a coefficient, then the coefficient can also be written as the exponent of the input of the logarithm. In other words, if you have the logarithm alog(x), that is equal to log(x^a). So the expression can be rewritten:
log(x^2)+log(y^3)
If tow logarithms of the same bases are added together that is equal to the logarithm of the product of the inputs of the two original logarithms. In other words, given log(x)+log(y), it can also be written as log(xy). So the expression can be combined into one logarithm:
log(x^2 * y^3)
2 divides both numbers, so divide both numbers by 2 to get 3 and 7. These are relatively prime, so 2 is the gcd. The lcm is 6*14/2=42.
Answer: Melanie swam 63 minutes more in second week.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given , Time taken by Melanie in first week to swim = 142 minutes
Combined time taken by her in first two weeks in swimming = 347 minutes
Now , time taken by her in second week = (Combined time of first two week) - (Time taken in first week)
= 347-142 minutes
= 205 minutes
Clearly , 205 > 142 i.e. She swam more in second week than first week./
Difference i= 205-142 = 63
Therefore, Melanie swam 63 minutes more in second week.
What area of math is this,I may be able to help?
