6 0

Answer:By referring to a periodic table or table of elements, we see that phosphorus (symbol P) has an atomic number of 15. Thus, each atom has 15 protons. The mass number of the ion is 15 + 16 = 31. Because the ion has 15 protons and 18 electrons (three more electrons than protons), its net charge is 3-.

If Log 4 (x) = 12, then log 2 (x / 4) is equal to
Alexus [3.1K]

The value of log₂(x/4) is 22. Using the properties of the logarithm, the required value is calculated.

<h3>What are the required properties of the logarithm?</h3>

The required logarithm properties are

logₐx = n ⇒ aⁿ = x; and logₐ(xⁿ) = n logₐ(x);

Where a is the base of the logarithm.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

It is given that,

log₄(x) = 12;

On applying the property logₐx = n ⇒ aⁿ = x; here a = 4;

So,

log₄(x) = 12 ⇒ 4¹² = x

⇒ x = (2²)¹² = 2²⁴

Then, calculating log₂(x/4):

log₂(x/4) = log₂(2²⁴/4)

              = log₂(2²⁴/2²)

              = log₂(2²⁴ ⁻ ²)

              = log₂(2²²)

On applying the property logₐ(xⁿ) = n logₐ(x);

log₂(x/4) = 22 log₂2

We know that logₐa = 1;

So,

log₂(x/4) = 22(1)

∴ log₂(x/4) = 22.

Round off the following number to 3 digits 34,560​
Vikki [24]

Answer:

3.46x10⁴

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can see that the number 34,560 has five significant figures, it means that if we want to write it with three, we must take the 3, 4 and 5 only. Nevertheless, since the 6 after the five is greater than 5, we can round such five to 6, so we obtain:

346

However, the decimal places cannot get lost, therefore, we move the given thousand  to the three, so the number turns out:

3.46x10⁴

Best regards.
