Q10

OpenStudy (abb0t):

\[\log(\frac{ 100\sqrt{p} }{ q^2 }) \]

OpenStudy (abb0t):

i think you just plug in p for x and q for y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\large log(\frac{100 \sqrt{x}}{y^2})=log(100 \sqrt{x})-log(y^2) \) \(\large =log(100)+log( \sqrt{x})-log(y^2) \) \(\large =2+logx^{(1/2)}-2logy \) \(\large =2+\frac{1}{2}logx-2logy \) \(\large =2+\frac{1}{2} \cdot p-2 \cdot q \)

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

You're supposed to help, not give out answers and solutions to show off!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... my bad... can u do the second part?

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

The second expression is given as\[\log_{}y ^{x} \]Hence first simplify by applying the power property\[\log_{b}x ^{n}=n \log_{b}x \]

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

OK go ahead, even though I know you're being sarcastic @dpaInc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log \[y ^{x}\] = x log y

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Yes! Now the objective of the question is to write the answer in terms of p and q. You already know what log y equals because its given. As far as the x is concerned, simply write log x = p (given) in exponential form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, I'll try with that

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Okay go ahead and show me your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just end up with xq and dont know how to continue

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Did you read my explanation above? You're given that log x = p, right? What is log x = p in exponential form? Answer me this, first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10^p = x?

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

If\[\log_{b}m =n \]then\[b ^{n}=m\]Thus how can log x = p be expressed in exponential form?

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Yes!

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

So then what is your final answer now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10^p(q) ?

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Perfect! or you can also write it as q(10^p). Well done!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, thanks :)

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Welcome! Now you can tell @dpalnc that's how you teach!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@calculusfunctions But in all honesty, I personally have no problems with @dpaInc 's way of teaching...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@calculusfunctions, you got some beef with me? I already said it was my bad! get over it DH!
