Logarithm probems... Please help!?
1. Solve log(3x + 2) = 3
x = 302.67 :)
3x+2=10^3 follow that
what is that in fraction form? Its multiple choice and they are all in fraction form
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: \[x=\frac{ 10^{3} -2}{ 3}\]
a. \[\frac{ 1000 }{ 3 }\] b.\[\frac{ 998 }{ 3 }\] c. \[998\] d. \[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\] These are the choices
So would it be B ?
then, option B :D
thanks, could you help me with two more please ?
off course :D
2. log(x + 9) - log x = 3 3. \[5 \log _{b}y + 6 \log _{b}x\]
For number 2. The options are a. 0.0090, b. 0.3103, c. 3.2222, d. 111
log(x+9)-logx=log[(x+9)/x]=3 follow that.
for the second exercise, you have \[\log (x+9)-logx=3-->\log(\frac{ x+9 }{3})=3\].. then, \[10^{3}=\frac{ x+9 }{3}-->x=3(10^{3})-9\]
I got 2991...
yeah, thet's the answer :D
But that isn't one of my choices
D: there are an error sorry
which one would i choose then?
hen the equation is \[\log(x+9)-logx=3-->\log(\frac{ x+9 }{x })=3\].. then, \[10^{3}=\frac{ x+9 }{ x }-->10000x-x=9-->x=\frac{ 9 }{999}\]
option "a" for the second exercise
Okay I see now. What about number three?
Choices are \[a. \log _{b}(yx ^{5+6})\] \[b. (5 + 6) \log _{b} (y + x)\] \[ c. \log _{b} (y ^{5} + x ^{6})\] \[d. \log _{b} (y ^{5}x ^{6})\]
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
OHH Okay, Thank you so much for your help! (:
