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

Helga [31]

Answer:

24 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

During a week the water level in a pond decreased by 4 in. Per day,

For two days, it decreased by half that amount = 4\times\frac{1}{2}=2\ inches\ per\ day

Question asked:

How much did the water level decrease in the pond in one week?

Solution:

As we know, there are 7 days in a week.

<u>For 5 days,</u>

Each day water level decreased by = 4 inches

In 5 days, water level decreased by = 4\times5=20\ inches

<u>For exceptional 2 days:</u>

Each day water level decreased by = 2 inches

In 2 days, water level decreased by = 2\times2=4\ inches

Water level decreased in whole week = 20 + 4 = 24 inches

Therefore, water level decreased 24 inches in the pond in one week.

Determine if the following equation has "One Solution", "No Solutions", or "Infinite Many Solutions".
Novosadov [1.4K]
First, distribute the 2.
2x+6=6+2x
These are the same, so therefore it is infinitely many, because whatever you plug in for x will work.
