The properties that were used to derive the properties of logarithms are:
1. a^x · a^y = a^(x+y)
2. a^x / a^y = a^(x - y)
3. a^0 = 1
4. a^(-x) = 1 / x
5. (a^x)^y = a^(<span>xy)</span><span>

15w
the answer is 15 w.
add 9+1+5
The mode of this is 8,10, and 5
X=5, y=-4
(5,-4)
do you need the work?
Suppose the larger pump alone can empty the tank in L hours, and the smaller pump can finish the job in S hours, then each hour the large pump empties 1/L portion of the tank, and the small pump empties 1/S per hour
Working together for three hours, they empty the whole tank, which is 100% of it, so 3/L+3/S=100%=1
Larger pump can empty the tank in 4 hours less than the smaller one, so L=S-4
replace L: 3/(S-4)+3/S=1
Make the denominator the same to solve for:
3S/[S(S-4)] +3(S-4)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)/[S(S-4)]=1
(3S+3S-12)=[S(S-4)]
S^2-10s+12=0
use the quadratic formula to solve for S
S is about 8.6
The answer is not whole hour.
