Logarithm probems... Please help!?

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

1. Solve log(3x + 2) = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 302.67 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x+2=10^3 follow that

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

what is that in fraction form? Its multiple choice and they are all in fraction form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.. first you ca apply the follow equation:\[\log _{a}b=c--->a ^{c}=b\].. later you have the equation: \[3x + 2=10^{3}\] finally, you have: \[x=\frac{ 10^{3} -2}{ 3}\]

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

a. \[\frac{ 1000 }{ 3 }\] b.\[\frac{ 998 }{ 3 }\] c. \[998\] d. \[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\] These are the choices

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

So would it be B ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then, option B :D

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

thanks, could you help me with two more please ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

off course :D

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

2. log(x + 9) - log x = 3 3. \[5 \log _{b}y + 6 \log _{b}x\]

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

For number 2. The options are a. 0.0090, b. 0.3103, c. 3.2222, d. 111

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log(x+9)-logx=log[(x+9)/x]=3 follow that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for the second exercise, you have \[\log (x+9)-logx=3-->\log(\frac{ x+9 }{3})=3\].. then, \[10^{3}=\frac{ x+9 }{3}-->x=3(10^{3})-9\]

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

I got 2991...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, thet's the answer :D

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

But that isn't one of my choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D: there are an error sorry

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

which one would i choose then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hen the equation is \[\log(x+9)-logx=3-->\log(\frac{ x+9 }{x })=3\].. then, \[10^{3}=\frac{ x+9 }{ x }-->10000x-x=9-->x=\frac{ 9 }{999}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

option "a" for the second exercise

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

Okay I see now. What about number three?

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

Choices are \[a. \log _{b}(yx ^{5+6})\] \[b. (5 + 6) \log _{b} (y + x)\] \[ c. \log _{b} (y ^{5} + x ^{6})\] \[d. \log _{b} (y ^{5}x ^{6})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the third exercise, you have to know that:\[A \times \log _{b}c=\log _{b}c ^{A}\].. following this equation, we have \[\log _{b}y ^{5} + \log _{b}y ^{6}\] and for logs thet same base, you can:\[\log _{b}a+\log _{b}c=\log _{b}(a \times c)\] then in our exercise, the answer is \[\log _{b} (y ^{5}x ^{6})\] option D :D

OpenStudy (angelwings996):

OHH Okay, Thank you so much for your help! (:
