Can someone kind enough help me with these definitions? http://gyazo.com/4bd27cb1e7be0317a09fe1333044e9e5

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Really, you just have to know them. How far have you gotten?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have got any of them, I'm new to this. (online class)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

havn't @tkhunny

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Well, then this is a placement exam or pre-test? Maybe you shouldn't know any of them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is what I have to learn, I have a help guide like pictures for them actual book. I have to complete packets and turn them in for a final grade. @tkhunny

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I found some, are these right? 3. D and 6. C @tkhunny

OpenStudy (aum):

3D and 6C are correct. Many of these are definitions that you must know.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Good call. What else have you?

OpenStudy (aum):

11 looks easy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5. DE?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11. AB?

OpenStudy (aum):

\[ f^{-1}(x) \text{ represents the inverse function of } f(x). \]

OpenStudy (aum):

So 5 DE is incorrect.

OpenStudy (aum):

incorrect in a way lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is 8 CD?

OpenStudy (aum):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And 9 is DE Correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If that's not right, I'm lost. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait, is 8 CE?

OpenStudy (aum):

8) f(x) = b^x To find inverse, write f(x) as y: y = b^x switch x and y: x = b^y solve for y: take log to the base b on both sides: \(\log_b(x) = y\log_b(b) = y\) \(y = \log_b(x)\) replace y with \(f^{-1}(x)\) \(f^{-1}(x) = \log_b(x)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How'd you come up with this? logb(x)=ylogb(b)=y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 8 is DE right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And 9. CD right?

OpenStudy (aum):

\[ x = b^y \\ \log_bx = \log_bb^y = y \log_b b = y \\ \text {because} ~~ \log a^n = n * \log a \text{ and } \log_a a = 1 \]

OpenStudy (aum):

Yeah, 8 is DE. and if you go reverse DE is 8 which will help answer 9!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 Is CD ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And is 2 BD?

OpenStudy (aum):

9 is CD.

OpenStudy (aum):

BD will work for 2.

OpenStudy (aum):

\[\large \log a^n = n * log a \\ \large \log_bb^x = x * \log_bb = x * 1 = x \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. AE Correct?

OpenStudy (aum):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you do log in a calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cause that's throwing me off on everything.

OpenStudy (aum):

some logs are simple. log(100) = 2 because 10^2 = 100. For other you may need a calculator IF the decimal values are asked. Otherwise you can leave it as just log. log(5) is a good enough answer by itself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay good good, you're amazing at this. IS 11 AB?

OpenStudy (aum):

11 is B. e = 2.71828...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know what 4,5,7,10 are.. Hmm

OpenStudy (aum):

"e" is the base for natural logarithm.

OpenStudy (aum):

I answered 4 about 5 replies back.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope, you said 5 DE is incorrect.

OpenStudy (aum):

I did not say 5 is DE.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know, I said it. But you said it was incorrect.

OpenStudy (aum):

Look back. 8 is DE. I have a long derivation and it is marked 8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I see, how does that help with 5?

OpenStudy (aum):

5 BE

OpenStudy (aum):

4 E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Waitttt so Logb is together right?

OpenStudy (aum):

7 AC

OpenStudy (aum):

\[\large \log_b b^x = x * \log_b b = x * 1 = x \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10 is x?

OpenStudy (aum):

Yes. Also E. (E used once before).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This the first time we use the answer choice E.

OpenStudy (aum):

4 is also E.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I'm guessing one of them is wrong I don't think we can use more then twice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wouldn't 4 be BE?

OpenStudy (aum):

No. Both are correct. You can use the same answer choice twice. Also there are 11 questions but 16 choices. So some of the answer choices are never used.

OpenStudy (aum):

4 and 10 are both E.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, great. Thanks for the help. I got much more problems but I bet im getting on your last nerves :P

OpenStudy (aum):

Read your books / notes and get the fundamentals of log and exponential so you can do these problems on your own.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One question would (e^3)^2 = e^6?
