Which equation or function is linear?

zepelin [54]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

C. 2y = (2x-1)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is linear when the exponents of the variables are 1 and the sum of the exponents of the variables in any term is 1.

a) 3xy = 4 . . . . sum of exponents is 1+1=2

b) f(x) = 2/3(1 -x^2) . . . . exponent is 2

c) 2y = (2x -1)/4 . . . . all exponents are 1 (linear)

d) y = 3/(x+1) ⇒ xy +y = 3 . . . . sum of exponents is 1+1 = 2

Use the properties of logarithms to expand the following expression as much as possible. simplify any numerical expressions that

FinnZ [79.3K]

$\bf log_{{ a}}(xy)\implies log_{{ a}}(x)+log_{{ a}}(y)
\\ \quad \\\\
% Logarithm of rationals
log_{{ a}}\left( \frac{x}{y}\right)\implies log_{{ a}}(x)-log_{{ a}}(y)
\\ \quad \\\\
% Logarithm of exponentials
log_{{ a}}\left( x^{{ b}} \right)\implies {{ b}}\cdot log_{{ a}}(x)\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
ln\left( \cfrac{6x^9}{y^5} \right)\implies ln(6x^9)-ln(y^5)\implies ln(6)+ln(x^9)-ln(y^5)
\\\\\\
ln(6)+9ln(x)-5ln(y)$
