log_b{162} = x + 4y\\\\log_b324 = 2x+4y\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} = 3x-2y\\\\\frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = 3y-4x

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

log_b2 = x\\\\log_b3 = y --------(i)

<em><u>Use the following log rules</u></em>

Rule 1: log_b(ac) = log_ba + log_bc

Rule 2: log_b\frac{a}{c} = log_ba - log_bc

Rule 3: log_ba^c = clog_ba

a) log_b{162}

Break 162 down to primes:

162 = 2^1 \times 3^4

log_b{162} =log_b 2^1. 3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 1\\\\ log_b{162} = log_b 2^1 +log_b 3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 3\\\\1log_b2 + 4log_b3\\\\1x+4y\\\\x+4y

Thus we get,

log_b162 = x + 4y

Next

b) log_b 324

Break 324 down to primes:

324 = 2^2 \times 3^4

log_b324 = log_b 2^2.3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 1\\\\log_b324 = log_b2^2 + log_b3^4\\\\By\ rule\ 3\\\\log_b324 = 2log_b2 + 4log_b3\\\\From\ (i)\\\\log_b324 = 2x + 4y

Next

c) log_b\frac{8}{9}

By rule 2

log_b\frac{8}{9} = log_b8 - log_b9\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} = log_b 2^3 - log_b3^2\\\\By\ rule\ 3\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} =  3 log_b2 - 2log_b3\\\\From\ (i)\\\\log_b\frac{8}{9} =  3x - 2y

Next

d) \frac{log_b27}{log_b16}

By rule 2

\frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = log_b27 - log_b16\\\\ \frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = log_b3^3 - log_b2^4\\\\By\ rule\ 2\\\\ \frac{log_b27}{log_b16} = 3log_b3 - 4log_b2 \\\\From\ (i)\\\\\frac{log_b27}{log_b16} =  3y - 4x

Thus the given are evaluated in terms of x and y

Olin [163]

Answer:

9-3=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Line from left to right: number 9 (absolute value)

Line from right to left: number 3 (absolute value)

Overall: 9-3=6

We used the minus sign for 3 because the corresponding line is oriented in the opposite direction.

AB is a midsegment of trapezoid DEFG what is x?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

D. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

DEFG is a trapezoid and AB is its Midsegment.

Therefore,

AB =\frac{1}{2}(DG + EF)  \\  \\ 12 =  \frac{1}{2} (5x - 4 + 8x + 2) \\  \\ 12  \times 2= (13x - 2) \\  \\ 24 = 13x - 2 \\  \\ 24 + 2 = 13x \\  \\ 26 = 13x \\  \\ x =  \frac{26}{13}  \\  \\ x = 2
