Answer:

-122.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference = 7 - 4 = 3 terms; 8.75 - (-70) = 78.75

1 term → 78.75/3 = 26.25

therefore, u2 = - 70 - 2(26.25) = -122.5

Log14/3 +log11/5-log22/15=log

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

$log7$

Step-by-step explanation:

when adding logs, apply the log rule: $\log _a\left(x\right)+\log _a\left(y\right)=\log _a\left(xy\right)$

∴ $\log\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)+\log\left(\frac{11}{5}\right)=\log\left(\frac{14}{3}\cdot \frac{11}{5}\right)$

when subtracting logs, apply the log rule: $\log _a\left(x\right)\:-\:\log _a\left(y\right)=\log _a\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)$

$\log\left(\frac{14}{3}\cdot \frac{11}{5}\right)-\log\left(\frac{22}{15}\right)=\log\left(\frac{\frac{14}{3}\cdot \frac{11}{5}}{\frac{22}{15}}\right)\\\\=\log\left(7\right)$
