Intersection point of Y=logx and y=1/2log(x+1)

Mathematics

Answer:

The intersection is (\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},\log(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}).

The Problem:

What is the intersection point of y=\log(x) and y=\frac{1}{2}\log(x+1)?

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the intersection of y=\log(x) and y=\frac{1}{2}\log(x+1), we will need to find when they have a common point; when their x and y are the same.

Let's start with setting the y's equal to find those x's for which the y's are the same.

\log(x)=\frac{1}{2}\log(x+1)

By power rule:

\log(x)=\log((x+1)^\frac{1}{2})

Since \log(u)=\log(v) implies u=v:

x=(x+1)^\frac{1}{2}

Squaring both sides to get rid of the fraction exponent:

x^2=x+1

This is a quadratic equation.

Subtract (x+1) on both sides:

x^2-(x+1)=0

x^2-x-1=0

Comparing this to ax^2+bx+c=0 we see the following:

a=1

b=-1

c=-1

Let's plug them into the quadratic formula:

x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}

x=\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1+4}}{2}

x=\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2}

So we have the solutions to the quadratic equation are:

x=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2} or x=\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}.

The second solution definitely gives at least one of the logarithm equation problems.

Example: \log(x) has problems when x \le 0 and so the second solution is a problem.

So the x where the equations intersect is at x=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}.

Let's find the y-coordinate.

You may use either equation.

I choose y=\log(x).

y=\log(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})

The intersection is (\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},\log(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}).

Sketch a graph that is discrete, has a maximum, does not pass through the origin, and is an absolute value function
Stella [2.4K]
Um.. I can't sketch a graph on here.
A discrete function can't be an absolute value function because an absolute value function is continuous. But, the function equation can be as simple as
f(x) = - | x + 1 |
Just don't connect the dots when you draw it and boom, you're done.

Find the area of this circle. Use 3.14 for . A circle has diameter 62 feet. 62 ft
EastWind [94]

Answer:

3017.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume for area of circle is A = Pie ( Or in this case 3.14 ) * radius ^ 2

Plug in the numbers 3.14 * 31 ^2

31 is half the diameter or the radius

Answer = 3017.54
