How to solve logarithmic equations as such

Mathematics

Serga [27]3 years ago

\bf \textit{exponential form of a logarithm} \\\\ \log_a b=y \implies a^y= b\qquad\qquad a^y= b\implies \log_a b=y \\\\\\ \begin{array}{llll} \textit{Logarithm of exponentials} \\\\ \log_a\left( x^b \right)\implies b\cdot \log_a(x) \end{array} ~\hspace{7em} \begin{array}{llll} \textit{Logarithm Cancellation Rules} \\\\ log_a a^x = x\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{we'll use this one}}{a^{log_a x}=x} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}

\bf \log_2(x-1)=\log_8(x^3-2x^2-2x+5) \\\\\\ \log_2(x-1)=\log_{2^3}(x^3-2x^2-2x+5) \\\\\\ \log_{2^3}(x^3-2x^2-2x+5)=\log_2(x-1) \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{writing this in exponential notation}}{(2^3)^{\log_2(x-1)}=x^3-2x^2-2x+5}\implies (2)^{3\log_2(x-1)}=x^3-2x^2-2x+5

\bf (2)^{\log_2[(x-1)^3]}=x^3-2x^2-2x+5\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the cancellation rule}}{(x-1)^3=x^3-2x^2-2x+5} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{expanding the left-side}}{x^3-3x^2+3x-1}=x^3-2x^2-2x+5\implies 0=x^2-5x+6 \\\\\\ 0=(x-3)(x-2)\implies x= \begin{cases} 3\\ 2 \end{cases}

1. Manufacturing Process Incorporation plan to produce a new ergonomic chair. Before the company starts producing this chair the
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

1. cost per chair: $86.40

2. selling price per chair: $146.88

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The total cost per chair will be the sum of the cost of materials and the overhead cost (equipment, energy, labor, marketing). The cost of materials is ...

$500/(16 chairs) = $31.25/chair

So, the total cost is ...

cost of each chair = material cost + overhead cost

= $31.25 +55.15

cost of each chair = $86.40

__

2. We assume the markup is 70% of the cost, so will be ...

0.70 · $86.40 = $60.48

Then the selling price of the chair will be ...

selling price = cost + markup

selling price = $86.40 +60.48

selling price = $146.88
