Because 1/2 of 6 =1/3 and 1/2×1/3=1/6

The number 3 can be expressed as a fraction 3/1. If we multiply the fraction 1/6 by 3/1 we get:
1/6 x 3/1 = (1 x 3)/(6 x 1)
(1 x 3)/(6 x 1) = 3/6
Now just simplify the fraction:
3/6 = 1/2

Answer:

x = -3, x = 0 is a extraneous solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Cross-multiply

3x² = 4x² + 3x

Step 2: Isolate <em>x</em>'s

0 = x² + 3x

Step 3: Factor

0 = x(x + 3)

Step 4: Find roots

x = 0, -3

Step 5: Double check work

Plug in both to see if they both work. Only x = 0 should be extraneous. We now have our answer!

Which logarithmic equation is equivalent to the exponential equation below?

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

$log_e^{67.21}= a$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is ,

$\implies 67.21 = e^a$

Here e is the Euler's Number . The log which are defined on the base e are called Natural logarithms.

Say if we have a expoteintial equation ,

$\implies a^m = n$

In logarithmic form it is ,

$\implies log_a^n = m$

Similarly our required answer will be ,

$\implies\boxed{ log_e^{67.21}= a }$
