Which of the following explains why f(x) = log2x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Radda [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  • There is no power of 2 that is equal to 0.
  • Its inverse does not have any x-intercepts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function

\:\:f\left(x\right)=\log \:_2\left(x\right)

This function can be written as:

y=\log _2\left(x\right)

As the rule tells s that

\:y=log_ax\Rightarrow \:a^y=x

so

x=2^y\:\:

As we know that the value of x=0 at y-intercept.

0=2^y\:\:

For any value of y, this statement is false as there is no power of 2 that is equal to 0.

Also

Lets interchange x and y in the equation x=2^y\:\:  to find the inverse of the function.

y=2^x\:\:

So, it doesn't have any x-intercepts as for any value of x, the value of y can not be zero for this function.

Therefore, Its inverse does not have any x-intercepts.

Step 3a: Calculating the average rate
Alex73 [517]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) average rate = (total distance)/(total time)

  b) Rave = 2·R1·R2/(R1 +R2)

  c) cheetah's average rate ≈ 50.91 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let AB represent the distance from A to B. Let t1 and t2 represent the travel times (in hours) on leg1 and leg2 of the trip, respectively. Then the distances traveled are...

  First leg distance: AB = 70·t1   ⇒   t1 = AB/70

  Second leg distance: AB = 40·t2   ⇒   t2 = AB/40

The average rate is the ratio of total distance to total time:

  average rate = (AB +AB)/(t1 +t2)

  average rate = 2AB/(AB/70 +AB/40) = 2/(1/70 +1/40) = 2(40)(70)/(70+40)

  average rate = 560/11 = 50 10/11 . . . mph

__

No equations are given, so we cannot compare what we wrote with the given equations. In each step of the solution, we have used the rules of algebra and equality.

b) For two rates over the same distance (as above), the average is their harmonic mean:

  average rate = 2r1·r2/(r1+r2)

__

c) The cheetah's average rate was 50 10/11 mph ≈ 50.91 mph.

-4(x - 2) - 3x = 2(5x - 7) + 6
Allisa [31]

Answer: last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

To apply the Distributive property, remember that:

c(a-b)=ca-cb

Then, applying this, you get:

-4(x - 2) - 3x = 2(5x - 7) + 6\\\\(-4)(x)+(-4)(-2)-3x=(2)(5x)+(2)(-7)+6\\\\-4x+8-3x=10x-14+6

Combine like terms means that you need to add the like terms.

Therefore, you get:

-7x+8=10x-8

You can observe that the expression obtained matches with the expression provided in the last option.
