2+4+5 is 11 and 33/11 is 3 so for every 1 is 3 years,
the first is 2 so is 2x3=6
the second is 4 so is 4x3=12
the third is 5 so is 5x3=15

You could also write it as:
1st child's age:= 2x
2nd child:= 4x
3rd child:= 5x
2x+4x+5x=33
11x=33
x=3
Then
1st child's age:= 2x= 6
2nd child:= 4x= 12
<span>3rd child:= 5x= 15
</span>To check if it's correct you need to sum up: 6+12+15=33

Logarithmic functions and exponential functions are inverse and opposite of one another

The logarithmic function is $y = \log_2(x)$ , and the length at 8 pascals is 3 units

<h3>How to determine the logarithmic function</h3>

The exponential function is given as:

$f(x) = 2^x$

Express f(x) as y

$y = 2^x$

Swap the positions of x and y

$x = 2^y$

Take the logarithm of both sides

$\log(x) = \log(2^y)$

Apply the rule of logarithm

$\log(x) = y\log(2)$

Divide both sides by log(2)

$y = \frac{\log(x)}{\log(2)}$

Apply the change of base rule of logarithm

$y = \log_2(x)$

When the strength is 8 pascals, we have:

$y = \log_2(8)$

Express 8 as 2^3

$y = \log_2(2^3)$

So, we have:

$y =3 \log_2(2)$

Evaluate log 2 base 2

$y =3$

Hence, the logarithmic function is $y = \log_2(x)$ , and the length at 8 pascals is 3 units
