Steps:

1) determine the domain

2) determine the extreme limits of the function

3) determine critical points (where the derivative is zero)

4) determine the intercepts with the axis

5) do a table

6) put the data on a system of coordinates

7) graph: join the points with the best smooth curve

Solution:

1) domain

The logarithmic function is defined for positive real numbers, then you need to state x - 3 > 0

=> x > 3 <-------- domain

2) extreme limits of the function

Limit log (x - 3) when x → ∞ = ∞

Limit log (x - 3) when x → 3+ = - ∞ => the line x = 3 is a vertical asymptote

3) critical points

dy / dx = 0 => 1 / x - 3 which is never true, so there are not critical points (not relative maxima or minima)

4) determine the intercepts with the axis

x-intercept: y = 0 => log (x - 3) = 0 => x - 3 = 1 => x = 4

y-intercept: The function never intercepts the y-axis because x cannot not be 0.

5) do a table

 x                          y = log (x - 3)

limit x → 3+            - ∞

3.000000001        log (3.000000001 -3) = -9

3.0001                  log (3.0001 - 3) = - 4

3.1                       log (3.1 - 3) = - 1

4                          log (4 - 3) = 0

13                       log (13 - 3) = 1

103                     log (103 - 3) = 10

lim x → ∞             ∞

Now, with all that information you can graph the function: put the data on the coordinate system and join the points with a smooth curve.

We are given a log function.

y= log(x-3).

Note: A log never takes 0 or negative values.

We have x-3 there.

The value of x-3 should be greater than 0.

Let us solve it for x.

x-3>0.

Adding 3 on both sides, we get

x-3+3 >0+3.

x>3.

So, we got domain of the given function x>3. So, we can take any value greater than 3 for x.

Let us make a table of different values of x and y for the given function

______________________________________

x           y=log(x-3)

______________________________________

4           y=log(4-3) = log(1) = 0    

5           y=log(5-3) = log(2) = 0.3010

6          y=log(6-3) = log(3) = 0.4771

7           y=log(7-3) = log(4) = 0.6021

10         y=log(10-3)= log(7) = 0.8450

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{7-\sqrt{97}}{4}\ \vee\ x=-\dfrac{7+\sqrt{97}}{4}}

Step-by-step explanation:

ax^2+bx+c=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\text{if}\ \Delta0,\ \text{then an equation has two solutions:}\ x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\text{We have:}\\\\-2x^2-7x+10=4\qquad\text{subtract 4 from both sides}\\\\-2x^2-7x+6=0

a=-2,\ b=-7,\ c=6\\\\\Delta=(-7)^2-4(-2)(6)=49+48=97>0\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{97}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-7)\pm\sqrt{97}}{2(-2)}=\dfrac{7\pm\sqrt{97}}{-4}=-\dfrac{7\pm\sqrt{97}}{4}

Augustin has 20 different chess boards. If he played 3 games per day, each game played on a different board, how long would it t
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

514 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula (r+n-1)/r(n-1)

There are 1540 combinations. Then, we'll divide them by three because were not just finding the amount of combinations, but the time it'd take to play them all.

We get 513.333(cont.)

thats not really possible, so we're gonna go with 514 instead, rounding up. Normally we'd round down, because the number behind the decimal is below 5, but we really want to make sure we get every combination in there.

Hope this is helpful!
