There are many theories and measurement for the speed of light. It is believed that light travels at 299,792 km per second.  In the earlier day philosopher Aristotle believed that light didn't travel but happens instantaneously.  Therefore, for Galileo and his assistant to be only 1km apart, I would have to agree with Aristotle theory of light traveling instantaneously.

expression to approximate log a of x for all positive numbers a, b, and x, where a is not equal to 1 and b is not equal to one
amid [387]

Question:

Approximate log base b of x, log_b(x).

Of course x can't be negative, and b > 1.


Answer:

f(x) = (-1/x + 1) / (-1/b + 1)


Step-by-step explanation:

log(1) is zero for any base.

log is strictly increasing.

log_b(b) = 1

As x descends to zero, log(x) diverges to -infinity


Graph of f(x) = (-1/x + 1)/a is reminiscent of log(x), with f(1) = 0.


Find a such that f(b) = 1

1 = f(b) = (-1/b + 1)/a

a = (-1/b + 1)


Substitute for a:

f(x) = (-1/x + 1) / (-1/b + 1)

f(1) = 0

f(b) = (-1/b + 1) / (-1/b + 1) = 1
