[WILL MARK BRAINLIEST] How are logarithms used in the “real world?”

Mathematics
1 answer:
salantis [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Logarithms are used to model all sorts of things, especially growth and decay!

Step-by-step explanation:

One super-relevant example of how logs are used is in tracking the progress of the coronavirus. There are graphs up on worldometer that show both the linear number of cases and deaths and the log numbers - why? Because this gives us a better idea of when the curve will really flatten, or when it will reach its carrying capacity.

It's also used in things like radioactive decay, or where the growth rate is not constant.

If f(x)=x-1/3 and g(x)=3x+1, what is (f*g)(x) 3x+1 x-3
crimeas [40]
This is a composite.  Another way to write them is f(g(x)).  Take the function g(x) and stick it in for x in f(x).  Like this: f(g(x))= \frac{(3x+1)-1}{3}.  But we aren't done cuz there's some simplifying there to do.  f(g(x))= \frac{3x}{3} and canceling out the 3's we get just a simple x as our answer.  The choice is the last one above as your answer.

Complete the square f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 8 <br><br><br> PLZ help me ;c
Semenov [28]
Ok, first group x terms
f(x)=(x²+4x)-8
factor out quadratic coefient (no need but that's the step)
f(x)=1(x²+4x)-8
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
4/2=2, (2)²=4
add positive and negative of it insides the parenthasees
f(x)=1(x²+4x+4-4)-8
factor perfect square
f(x)=1((x+2)²-4)-8
distribute
f(x)=1(x+2)²-4-8
f(x)=1(x+2)²-12
and, now if we wanted to find the x intercepts where f(x)=0 then
0=1(x+2)²-12
12=(x+2)²
+/-2√3=x+2
-2+/-2√3=x

x=-2+2√3 or -2-2√3
that is where the x intercept are

and completed square form is
f(x)=(x+2)²-12

Find the domain and range of the relation, and state whether or not the relation is a function.
Brilliant_brown [7]
Domain is {1 ,2,3,4}
range is {3}
it's a function because each element in x has only one image in y
