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

Step-by-step explanation:

use inverse trig because your finding a missing angle. use tan because you haved opp/adj

tan-1=(16/5)

x=tan-1(16/5)

The equation y = 1/5x represents a proportional relationship. Explain how you can tell the relationship is proportional from the
andre [41]
If a graph is proportional then the line will go through the origin at point (0, 0). If the equation is proportional then it will be in the form of y=kx with no other operations after. The constant of proportionality is another way to say the slope and in your specific equation the slope would be 1/5.
