Answers:
When we evaluate a logarithm, we are finding the exponent, or <u> power </u> x, that the <u> base </u> b, needs to be raised so that it equals the <u> argument </u> m. The power is also known as the exponent.
The value of b must be <u> positive </u> and not equal to <u> 1 </u>
The value of m must be <u> positive </u>
If 0 < m < 1, then x < 0
A <u> logarithmic </u> <u> equation </u> is an equation with a variable that includes one or more logarithms.
===============================================
Explanation:
Logarithms, or log for short, basically undo what exponents do.
When going from 
to 
, we have isolated the exponent.
More generally, we have 
turn into 
When using the change of base formula, notice how
If b = 1, then log(b) = log(1) = 0, meaning we have a division by zero error. So this is why 
We need b > 0 as well because the domain of y = log(x) is the set of positive real numbers. So this is why m > 0 also.
Answer:
C≈47.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula C= πd, where C is circumference, π is pi, and d is diameter.
Input the numbers and we'll shorten π to 3.15
C=3.15(15)
C≈47.25
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 foot = 12 inches
length of board in inches = 8 ft × (12 in)/ft = 96 in
length of cut in inches = 5 ft + 8 in = 5 ft × (12 in)/ft + 8 in = 60 in + 8 in = 68 in.
96 - 68 = 28 inches left
Answer:
20 by 20 by 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total surface of the rectangular box be expressed as S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz
x is the length of the box
y is the width and
z is the height of the box.
S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz ... 1
Given the volume V = xyz = 8000 ... 2
From equation 2;
z = 8000/xy
Substituting into equation 1;
S = 2xy + 2y(8000/xy)+ 2x(8000/xy)
S = 2xy+16000/x+16000/y
Differentiating the resulting equation with respect to x and y will give;
dS/dx = 2y + (-16000x⁻²)
dS/dx = 2y - 16000/x²
Similarly,
dS/dy = 2x + (-160000y⁻²)
dS/dy = 2x - 16000/y²
Note that at the turning point, ds/dx = 0 and ds/dy = 0, hence;
2y - 16000/x² = 0 and 2x - 16000/y² = 0
2y = 16000/x² and 2x = 16000/y²
2y = 16000/(8000/y²)²
2y = 16000×y⁴/64,000,000
2y = y⁴/4000
y³ = 8000
y =³√8000
y = 20
Given 2x = 16000/y²
2x = 16000/20²
2x = 16000/400
2x = 40
x = 20
Since Volume of the box is V = xyz
8000 = 20(20)z
8000 = 400z
z = 8000/400
z = 20
Hence, the dimensions which minimize the surface area of this box is 20 by 20 by 20.
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
h(t) = (t + 3)² + 5, -5 ≤ t ≤ -1
The average rate of change is the change in h over the change in t.
(h(-1) − h(-5)) / (-1 − (-5))
= ((-1 + 3)² + 5 − ((-5 + 3)² + 5)) / (-1 + 5)
= (4 + 5 − 4 − 5)) / 4
= 0
