Using the law of logarithm. LogA - LogB = Log(A/B)

log(x²-y²) - log(x-y) = log((x²-y²)/(x-y))

Note by difference of two squares, (x²-y²) = (x-y)(x+y)

Simplifying (x²-y²)/(x-y) = (x-y)(x+y)/(x-y) = (x+y)

Therefore log(x²-y²) - log(x-y) = log((x²-y²)/(x-y)) = log((x-y)(x+y)/(x-y)) = log(x+y)

Remember:
log A - log B=log (A/B)
(a²-b²)=(a+b)(a-b).

Therefore

log (x²-y²)-log(x-y)=log[(x²-y²)/(x-y)]= log[(x+y)(x-y) / (x-y)]=log (x+y)

Answer: log (x²-y²)-log(x-y)=log (x+y)

Solve the following systems b elemination show work and explain each step 3x + y = 13 4x - 3y = 13

Alika [10]

Answer:

x = 4

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to solve the system of equation using elimination method

We have this as follows;

3x + y = 13

4x- 3y = 13

Multiply equation 1 by 3

9x + 3y = 39

4x-3y = 13

Add the two equations

13x = 52

x = 52/13

x = 4

From equation 1;

3x + y = 13

y = 13-3x

y = 13-3(4)

y = 13-12 = 1

Maureen earned some money doing odd jobs last summer and put it in a savings account that earns 9% interest compounded quarterly

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Maureen earned $123.19 doing odd jobs

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

In this question:

Compounded quarterly means that $n = 4$
