Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
You know how subtraction is the <em>opposite of addition </em>and division is the <em>opposite of multiplication</em>? A logarithm is the <em>opposite of an exponent</em>. You know how you can rewrite the equation 3 + 2 = 5 as 5 - 3 = 2, or the equation 3 × 2 = 6 as 6 ÷ 3 = 2? This is really useful when one of those numbers on the left is unknown. 3 + _ = 8 can be rewritten as 8 - 3 = _, 4 × _ = 12 can be rewritten as 12 ÷ 4 = _. We get all our knowns on one side and our unknown by itself on the other, and the rest is computation.
We know that
; as a logarithm, the <em>exponent</em> gets moved to its own side of the equation, and we write the equation like this:
, which you read as "the logarithm base 3 of 9 is 2." You could also read it as "the power you need to raise 3 to to get 9 is 2."
One historical quirk: because we use the decimal system, it's assumed that an expression like
uses <em>base 10</em>, and you'd interpret it as "What power do I raise 10 to to get 1000?"
The expression
means "the power you need to raise 10 to to get 100 is x," or, rearranging: "10 to the x is equal to 100," which in symbols is
.
(If we wanted to, we could also solve this:
, so
)
Answer:
y-8
If Tia is 8 years younger than Annette and Annette is y years old, you just take y and subtract 8.
Answer:
Zeros
x = -3 point (-3 ,0)
x = 3 point (3 ,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using a graphing calculator, we can easily check the intercepts of the equation
y = -x^2 +9
Answer:
a<-3
bc -3(-2)=6
so if u go lower which the next number would be -4(-2)=8 which is greaterthan 6

Answer:
Sum of 10 times a number and fifteen is added to eleven times the same number is therefore: 10x + 15 + 11x = 21x + 15
