Answer:

Consider the equation: \log (3x-1) = \log_2 8

Since, the functions: \log (3x-1) has a base of 10 and \log_2 8 has a base of 2.

By logarithmic properties:

\log_a x = \log_a y

⇒x = y

Since, these logarithmic functions have different bases they does not satisfy the logarithmic properties

⇒(3x-1) \neq 8

Solve the equation:  \log (3x-1) = \log_2 8

By Properties of logarithmic:

\log_a x^n = n \log _a x

\log_b b = 1

\log_b x = a ⇒ x = b^a

Using these properties to solve the given equation as shown below:

\log (3x-1) = \log_2 2^3

\log (3x-1) =3 \log_2 2

\log (3x-1) = 3

(3x-1) = 10^3

(3x-1) = 1000

Therefore, (3x -1) is equal to 1000

Suppose you decide to put $12,500 in an account earning 9% interest compounded quarterly. How much interest would you earn after
Vesnalui [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

you add 9% to a number by multiplying that number by 1.09.

because adding 9% gives us in the end 109% of the original amount.

anyway, the formula for quarterly compounded interest is

Cq = P [ (1+r)^(4*n) – 1 ]

P is the starting principal amount

r is the interest rate per quarter (= interest rate / 4)

n would be the number of years (= 1 in our case).

so, the interest after 1 year is

12500((1 + 0.09/4)⁴ - 1) = 12500(1.0225⁴ - 1) =

= 12500 × 0.093083319 = $1,163.541485 ≈ $1,163.54
