Induction on n

Base case: n = 0

the left side is 0, and the right side is 0, so the equality holds.

Now, suppose that is true for n, and you need to show that the equality holds for n+1

So, write the left side

8 + 16 +24 + ... + 8n + 8(n+1) (*)

By hypothesis, 8+16+24+ ...+ 8n = 4n(n+1)

so, in (*) we have

4n(n+1) +8(n+1) = (4n+8)(n+1) = 4(n+2)(n+1) = 4(n+1)(n+2). So, this is true for every natural number n.

Which table represents the graph of a logarithmic function in the form y=log3x when b>1?

alex41 [277]

Answer:

The satisfied table of the given function $y = log_{b} (x)$

x 1/8 1/4 1/2 1 2

y -3 -2 -1 0 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation :-

Given logarithmic function $y = log_{b} (x)$ if b >1

Given first table

put x = $\frac{1}{8}$ given b > 1 so we can choose b = 2

$y = log_{2} (\frac{1}{8} )$

$y = log_{2} (2^{-3} )$

we will apply logarithmic formula

log x ⁿ = n log (x)

$y = log_{2} (2^{-3} ) = -3 log_{2} (2) = -3 (1) = -3$

y = -3

ii)

put x = $\frac{1}{4}$ given b > 1 so we can choose b = 2

$y = log_{2} (\frac{1}{4} )$

$y = log_{2} (2^{-2} )$

we will apply logarithmic formula

log x ⁿ = n log (x)

$y = log_{2} (2^{-2} ) = -2 log_{2} (2) = -2 (1) = -2$

y = -2

iii)

put x = $\frac{1}{2}$ given b > 1 so we can choose b = 2

$y = log_{2} (\frac{1}{2} )$

$y = log_{2} (2^{-1} )$

we will apply logarithmic formula

log x ⁿ = n log (x)

$y = log_{2} (2^{-1} ) = -1 log_{2} (2) = - (1) = -1$

y = -1

iv)

put x = 1 given b > 1 so we can choose b = 2

$y = log_{2} (1 )$ = 0

y = 0

v)

put x = $2$ given b > 1 so we can choose b = 2

$y = log_{2} (2 )$

y = 1

Final answer:-

The satisfied table of the given function

x 1/8 1/4 1/2 1 2

y -3 -2 -1 0 1
