Answer:

x/y = 10^3 = 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

The rules of logarithms tell you ...

log(x/y) = log(x) -log(y)

Here, we have ...

log(x/y) = log(x) -log(y)

= (3 +log(y)) -log(y) = 3 . . . . . . . . substittute for log(x)

Taking the antilog, we get ...

log(x/y) = 3

x/y = 10^3 = 1000

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The expression log(x) is often used to refer to the "common log" of x, which is the logarithm to the base 10. This lets us avoid the cumbersome notation log_10(x).

In more formal mathematics, log(x) may be used to refer to the natural log. The distinction is usually made in high school algebra by referring to the natural log using ln(x).

Answer:

1000

Step-by-step explanation:

$log_{10}x = 3 + log_{10}y$
$log_{10}x - log_{10}y = 3$
$log_{10}(x/y) = 3$
$x/y = 10^3$
$x/y = 1000$

Sudhir bought an almirah for RS 13600 and spent RS 400 on its transportation . He sold it for RS 16800 . find the his gain perce

oee [108]

Answer:

His gain percent is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to find the percentage gain of the business.

We need the following parameters;

The cost price which is the sum of the amount she bought the goods + the amount spent on transport

Using the values we have in the question;

The cost price will be;

13,600 + 400 = Rs 14,000

The selling price = Rs 16,800

Mathematically the percentage gain will be;

% gain = (selling price- cost price)/selling price * 100%

% gain = (16,800-14,000)/14,000 * 100/1

% gain = 2800/14,000 * 100/1 = 1/5 * 100/1 = 20%

I can't figure out how to do (i + j) x (i x j)for vector calc

Vinil7 [7]

In three dimensions, the cross product of two vectors is defined as shown below

$\begin{gathered} \vec{A}=a_1\hat{i}+a_2\hat{j}+a_3\hat{k} \\ \vec{B}=b_1\hat{i}+b_2\hat{j}+b_3\hat{k} \\ \Rightarrow\vec{A}\times\vec{B}=\det (\begin{bmatrix}{\hat{i}} & {\hat{j}} & {\hat{k}} \\ {a_1} & {a_2} & {a_3} \\ {b_1} & {b_2} & {b_3}\end{bmatrix}) \end{gathered}$

Then, solving the determinant

$\Rightarrow\vec{A}\times\vec{B}=(a_2b_3-b_2a_3)\hat{i}+(b_1a_3+a_1b_3)\hat{j}+(a_1b_2-b_1a_2)\hat{k}$

In our case,

$\begin{gathered} (\hat{i}+\hat{j})=1\hat{i}+1\hat{j}+0\hat{k} \\ \text{and} \\ (\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=(1,0,0)\times(0,1,0)=(0)\hat{i}+(0)\hat{j}+(1-0)\hat{k}=\hat{k} \\ \Rightarrow(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=\hat{k} \end{gathered}$

Where we used the formula for AxB to calculate ixj.

Finally,

$\begin{gathered} (\hat{i}+\hat{j})\times(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=(1,1,0)\times(0,0,1) \\ =(1\cdot1-0\cdot0)\hat{i}+(0\cdot0-1\cdot1)\hat{j}+(1\cdot0-0\cdot1)\hat{k} \\ \Rightarrow(\hat{i}+\hat{j})\times(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=1\hat{i}-1\hat{j} \\ \Rightarrow(\hat{i}+\hat{j})\times(\hat{i}\times\hat{j})=\hat{i}-\hat{j} \end{gathered}$

Thus, (i+j)x(ixj)=i-j
