Metric unit of a length thumb

1 answer:

Goshia [24]4 years ago

3 0

The metric unit of length is the meter.

My left thumb is about 0.06 meter long.
(It's hard to tell exactly, because I'm not sure where it starts.)

Another smaller unit, called the "centimeter", is often used
for convenience. Each centimeter is 0.01 of a meter.

So 0.06 meter, mentioned above, is the same as 6 centimeters.

Intersection point of Y=logx and y=1/2log(x+1)

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The intersection is $(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},\log(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$ .

The Problem:

What is the intersection point of $y=\log(x)$ and $y=\frac{1}{2}\log(x+1)$ ?

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the intersection of $y=\log(x)$ and $y=\frac{1}{2}\log(x+1)$ , we will need to find when they have a common point; when their $x$ and $y$ are the same.

Let's start with setting the $y$ 's equal to find those $x$ 's for which the $y$ 's are the same.

$\log(x)=\frac{1}{2}\log(x+1)$

By power rule:

$\log(x)=\log((x+1)^\frac{1}{2})$

Since $\log(u)=\log(v)$ implies $u=v$ :

$x=(x+1)^\frac{1}{2}$

Squaring both sides to get rid of the fraction exponent:

$x^2=x+1$

This is a quadratic equation.

Subtract $(x+1)$ on both sides:

$x^2-(x+1)=0$

$x^2-x-1=0$

Comparing this to $ax^2+bx+c=0$ we see the following:

$a=1$

$b=-1$

$c=-1$

Let's plug them into the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(-1)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1+4}}{2}$

$x=\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{5}}{2}$

So we have the solutions to the quadratic equation are:

$x=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ or $x=\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}$ .

The second solution definitely gives at least one of the logarithm equation problems.

Example: $\log(x)$ has problems when $x \le 0$ and so the second solution is a problem.

So the $x$ where the equations intersect is at $x=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ .

Let's find the $y$ -coordinate.

You may use either equation.

I choose $y=\log(x)$ .

$y=\log(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$

The intersection is $(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},\log(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$ .
