We need to know some log properties
1. when the base is not stated, assume that it is base 10 or log₁₀
2.

-log(10^-1)=

answer is D. -1
Answer:
0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
(- 4xy - 2) - 5(xy - 2) - 1
-4xy - 2 - 5xy + 10 - 1
Solving like terms
-9xy + 7
I think that first one represents a function.

If you want to do it by hand, you can write the equation
.. y = ax^2 +bx +c
and substitute three of the given points. Then solve the resulting three linear equations for a, b, and c.
.. 4 = a +b +c
.. 7 = 4a +2b +c
.. 12 = 9a +3b +c
Subtracting the first equation from the other two reduces this to
.. 3 = 3a +b
.. 8 = 8a +2b
The latter can be divided by 2, so reduces to
.. 4 = 4a +b
Subtracting the first of the reduced equations from this, you have
.. 1 = a
so
.. 3 = 3*1 +b
.. 0 = b
and
.. 4 = a + b + c = 1 + 0 + c
.. 3 = c
And your equation is
.. y = x^2 +3 . . . . . . as shown previously
