If logb2=x and logb3=y, evaluate the following in terms of x and y:

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alja [10]2 years ago

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

A robot moving forward at a constant speed takes 2.5 hours to travel 1 kilometer. Moving forward at this same constant speed, it
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The length of the hallway is 10 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken to cover 1 km = 2.5 hours

Distance covered in 2.5 hours = 1 km

Therefore, speed of robot = \frac{\textrm{Distance}}{\textrm{TIme}}=\frac{1}{2.5}=0.4\ km/h

Now, speed is constant.

Now, time taken to cover the length of hallway = 90 s

Speed of the robot = 0.4 km/h

Converting 0.4 km/h to m/s, we multiply by the factor \frac{5}{18}. This gives,

0.4\times \frac{5}{18}=\frac{1}{9}\ m/s

Now, distance of the hallway is equal to the product of speed and time. So,

Distance of hallway = Speed \times Time

Distance of hallway = \frac{1}{9}\times 90=\frac{90}{9}=10\ m

Therefore, the length of the hallway is 10 m.

Which pair of complex factors results in a real number product? 15(–15i) 3i(1 – 3i) (8 + 20i)(–8 – 20i) (4 + 7i)(4 – 7i)
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

(4 + 7i)(4 – 7i)

Step-by-step explanation:

This pair will produce a real answer because they are complex conjugates.

Complex conjugates ( a+bi) (a-bi)  when multiplied together form a real number ( a^2 + b^2)
