Explain why x=-8 is not part of the domain of the function y=log2(x)

Mathematics

Masteriza [31]3 years ago

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition of the logarithm, if we have:

y=\log_{2}x

This means that we have some value <em>y</em> such that:

\displaystyle 2^y=x

If <em>x</em> is -8, then:

2^y=-8

As you can see,<em> </em>there is no real value* that can make the result negative. No matter what the value of <em>y</em> is, we will simply get another positive value.

So, -8 or any other negative value or zero is not included in our domain. 0 is not included because, likewise, we can’t raise 2 to a power and get 0 as a result.

*There is no <em>real</em> value for which 2 raised to <em>y</em> is -8. However, as you will learn much much later, there are in fact <em>infinitely</em> many <em>complex </em>(imaginary) solutions such that 2 raised to <em>y </em>is indeed -8.

To obtain the fractional expression of weight in decimal form:

5/ 6 ounce of bassil is converted into decimal :

5 / 6 = 0.8333

Hence, for a fraction of 5 /6, we obtain;

5/6 = 0.8333

To the nearest tenth :

PLZ HELP ASAP DIVIDE LINE SEGMENTS
rodikova [14]
Segment in the direction from A to C
Initial Point: A=(9,5)=(xa,ya)→xi=xa=9, yi=ya=5
Final point: C=(-7,1)=(xc,yc)→xf=xc=-7, yf=yc=1
B=(xb,yb)=?
Proportion: r=AB/BC=3:1=3/1→r=3
 
xb=(xi+r*xf)/(1+r)
Replacing xi=xa=9, xf=xc=-7 and r=3
xb=[9+3*(-7)]/(1+3)
xb=(9-21)/4
xb=(-12)/4
xb=-3

yb=(yi+r*yf)/(1+r)
Replacing yi=ya=5, yf=yc=1 and r=3
yb=[5+3*(1)]/(1+3)
yb=(5+3)/4
yb=8/4
yb=2

B=(xb,yb)→B=(-3,2)

Answer: B=(-3,2)
