Question:

Approximate log base b of x, log_b(x).

Of course x can't be negative, and b > 1.


Answer:

f(x) = (-1/x + 1) / (-1/b + 1)


Step-by-step explanation:

log(1) is zero for any base.

log is strictly increasing.

log_b(b) = 1

As x descends to zero, log(x) diverges to -infinity


Graph of f(x) = (-1/x + 1)/a is reminiscent of log(x), with f(1) = 0.


Find a such that f(b) = 1

1 = f(b) = (-1/b + 1)/a

a = (-1/b + 1)


Substitute for a:

f(x) = (-1/x + 1) / (-1/b + 1)

f(1) = 0

f(b) = (-1/b + 1) / (-1/b + 1) = 1

What is thirty percent of two hundred ?
shtirl [24]

The answer is 60. Because if u do 30% x by 200 but u need to get rid of the percent which means u divide it by 100 to get rid of a percent and multiply by a hundred to get a percentage. So it would be 30 x 200 divided by 100.
