Use complete sentences to explain the process of converting a logarithmic equation to its equivalent exponential form to obtain

DanielleElmas [232]

Knowing that logarithm functions and exponential functions are inverse to each other, the procees to convert a logarithmic equation to its equivalent is to perform all the operations to set an equation of the typ:

$log _{b}x = y$ ,

then invert to show it equivalent form:

$x= b^{y}$ .

With that you have solved the equation for x.

Answer:

We want a polynomial of smallest degree with rational coefficients with zeros in $\sqrt{7}$ , $1 - \sqrt{6}$ and -3. The last root gives us the factor (x+3). Hence, our polynomial is

$P(x) =(x+3)q(x)$

where $q$ is a polynomial with rational coefficients and roots $\sqrt{7}$ and $1 - \sqrt{6}$ . The root $\sqrt{7}$ gives us a factor $x-\sqrt{7}$ , but in order to obtain rational coefficients we must consider the factor $x^2-7$ .

An analogue idea works with $1 - \sqrt{6}$ . For convenience write $x - 1 + \sqrt{6} = ( x - 1) + \sqrt{6}$ . This gives the factor $(x-1)^2-6$ . Hence,

$P(x) = (x+3)(x^2-7)((x-1)^2-6)=x^5+x^4-18x^3-22x^2+77x+105$

Notice that $P(-1)=24$ . So, in order to satisfy the last condition we divide by 3 the whole polynomial, without altering its roots. Finally, the wanted polynomial is

$P(x) =(1/3)x^5+(1/3)x^4-6x^3-(22/3)x^2+(77/3)x+35$

Step-by-step explanation:

We must have present that any polynomial it's determined by its roots up to a constant factor. But here we have irrational ones, in order to eliminate the irrational coefficients that a factor of the type $x-\sqrt7$ will introduce in the expression, we need to multiply by its conjugate $x+\sqrt7$ . Hence, we will obtain $x^2-7$ that have rational coefficients. Finally, the last condition is given with the intention to fix the constant factor. Usually it is enough to evaluate in the point and obtain the necessary factor.
