Answer: 6x
Work Shown:
For each step, the logs are all base b. This is to save time and hassle of writing tricky notation of having to write the smaller subscript 'b' multiple times. The first rule to use is that log(x^y) = y*log(x) for any base of a logarithm. The second rule is that meaning that the log base of itself is 1
log(b^(6x)) = 6x*log(b) .... pull down exponent using the first rule above
log(b^(6x)) = 6x*1 .... use the second rule mentioned
log(b^(6x)) = 6x
Answer:
1) 36
b) 5
c) 3.0
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The recursive formula that defines the given sequence is
That means we keep adding 4 to the subsequent terms:
The sequence will be:
12,16,20,24,28,32,36,...
Therefore the seventh term is 36.
2) The sequence is recursively defined by;
This means, we have to keep subtracting 5 from the subsequent terms.
The sequence will be;
20,15,10,5,...
Therefore the fourth term is 5
3) The sequence is recursively defined by:
f(n+1)=f(n)+0.5
where f(1)=-1.5
This means that, the subsequent terms can be found by adding 0.5 to the previous terms.
The sequence will be:
-1.5,-1.0,-0.5,0,0.5,1,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,....
Therefore f(10)=3.0
