In order to answer you need to keep in mind what is a logarithm:
logb x = n is the equivalent of asking "you should raise the base b <span>to <span>what number n</span></span> in order to get x?": bⁿ = x

From this follows that b must be positive, otherwise the function is not defined everywhere in R: for example, take log(-2) x = 0.5 ? This means: (-2)^{1/2} =√(-2) which is impossible in R. 
Therefore, both answers A and C are not correct because they take in consideration negative values.

If we take the base between 0 and 1 excluded, we have a fraction whose denominator is bigger than the numerator. Such a fraction, elevated to increasing exponents get smaller, for example:
(1/2)² = 1/4
(1/2)³ = 1/8
(1/2)⁴ = 1/16
Therefore the function is dereasing and answer B is incorrect.

The right answer is, therefore, D) b > 1.

Find the area of a trapezoid with base 1 side = 10 base 2 side = 16 and 3​
mart [117]

Answer:

Area of Trapezoid is 39 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

For A Trapezoid

The measure of base side 1 = b_1 = 10 unit

The measure of base side 2 = b_2 = 16 unit

The height of the Trapezoid = h = 3 unit

Let  The Area of Trapezoid = A square unit

<u>Now, From Formula</u>

Area of Trapezoid = \dfrac{1}{2} × (sum of opposite base) × height

I.e A =  \dfrac{1}{2} × (b_1 + b_2) × h

Or, A =  \dfrac{1}{2} × (10 unit + 16 unit) × 3 unit

Or, A =  \dfrac{1}{2} × (26 unit) × 3 unit

Or, A =  \dfrac{1}{2} × 78 unit²

Or, A = \dfrac{78}{2} unit²

I.e A = 39 unit²

So, The Area of Trapezoid = A = 39 unit²

Hence, The Area of Trapezoid is 39 unit² . Answer
