Consider expression \log_{\frac{1}{2}}\left(\dfrac{3x^2}{2}\right).

1. Use property

\log_a\dfrac{b}{c}=\log_ab-\log_ac.

Then

\log_{\frac{1}{2}}\left(\dfrac{3x^2}{2}\right)=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3x^2-\log_{\frac{1}{2}}2.

2. Use property

\log_abc=\log_ab+\log_ac.

Then

\log_{\frac{1}{2}}\left(\dfrac{3x^2}{2}\right)=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3x^2-\log_{\frac{1}{2}}2=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x^2-\log_{\frac{1}{2}}2.

3. Use property

\log_ab^k=k\log_ab.

Then

\log_{\frac{1}{2}}\left(\dfrac{3x^2}{2}\right)=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x^2-\log_{\frac{1}{2}}2=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+2\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x-\log_{\frac{1}{2}}2.

4. Use property

\log_{a^k}b=\dfrac{1}{k}\log_ab.

Then

\log_{\frac{1}{2}}\left(\dfrac{3x^2}{2}\right)=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+2\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x-\log_{\frac{1}{2}}2=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+2\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x-\log_{2^{-1}}2=\\ \\=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+2\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x+\log_22=\log_{\frac{1}{2}}3+2\log_{\frac{1}{2}}x+1.

Answer: correct option is B.

If y = 2x and 3x - 3y = 2, then x =
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The value of x is equal to -2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem it says that y equals 2x, and that 3x - 3y = 2.

The first step is to substitute 2x into y.

3x - 3(2x) = 2.

The next step is to use distributive property.

-3(2x) = -6x.

Now we need to add like terms.

3x - 6x = -3x.

Which gives us the equation -3x = 2.

The final step is to divide on both sides to get the value of x.

-3x/-3 = 2/-3.

x = -2/3.

So as you can see, x is equal to -2/3.

We can also check to make sure by redoing the problem, but substituting the value of x.

3(-2/3) - 3(2 * -2/3) = 2.

-2 - 3 * -4/3 = 2.

-2 + 4 = 2.

2 = 2.

The value of x is indeed -2/3.
