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

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to y-3x=-8 that passes through the point (3,2). Answer in slope-intercept form
Zielflug [23.3K]
Y - 3x = -8
y = 3x - 8...slope here is 3. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is -1/3.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/3
(3,2)...x = 3 and y = 2
now we sub and find b, the y int
2 = -1/3(3) + b
2 = -1 + b
2 + 1 = b
3 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -1/3x + 3
