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:
2.5, 6 and 6.5 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
5 + 12 + 13 = 30
So the shortest side = 5/30 * 15 = 1/6 * 15
= 2.5 inches.
The longest = 13 / 30 * 15 = 13/2
= 6.5 inches,
and the third = 12/30 * 15
= 6 inches.
Answer: 1¹/₈ hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Joelle spent 1¹/₂ hours reading and Rileigh spent 3/4 of that time.
To find out how much time Rileigh spent, multiply the fractions but first convert the improper fraction to a proper fraction:
= 1¹/₂ = 3/2
= 3/2 * 3/4
= 9/8
= 1¹/₈ hours
$11,000 will bet the cost in 7 years
Given:
Original cost: $25,000
Depreciation rate: 8%
Term: 7 years
Formula for Depreciation:
A = C ( 1 - ( r ) (t) )
A = Future Value
C = Original Cost
r = rate
t = term
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for depreciation.
A = $25,000( 1 - ( 0.08)(7))
A = $25,000( 1 - .56 )
A = $25,000(0.44 )
A = $11,000
B, the inverse is not a function, because to the x-value 0 the inverse relation orders two values: the 1 and the 5 as well.
