Can someone kind enough help me with these definitions? http://gyazo.com/4bd27cb1e7be0317a09fe1333044e9e5
Really, you just have to know them. How far have you gotten?
I have got any of them, I'm new to this. (online class)
havn't @tkhunny
Well, then this is a placement exam or pre-test? Maybe you shouldn't know any of them.
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
I found some, are these right? 3. D and 6. C @tkhunny
3D and 6C are correct. Many of these are definitions that you must know.
Good call. What else have you?
11 looks easy.
5. DE?
11. AB?
\[ f^{-1}(x) \text{ represents the inverse function of } f(x). \]
So 5 DE is incorrect.
incorrect in a way lol
Is 8 CD?
No.
And 9 is DE Correct?
If that's not right, I'm lost. lol
Oh wait, is 8 CE?
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 \(f^{-1}(x)\) \(f^{-1}(x) = \log_b(x)\)
How'd you come up with this? logb(x)=ylogb(b)=y
So 8 is DE right?
And 9. CD right?
\[ x = b^y \\ \log_bx = \log_bb^y = y \log_b b = y \\ \text {because} ~~ \log a^n = n * \log a \text{ and } \log_a a = 1 \]
Yeah, 8 is DE. and if you go reverse DE is 8 which will help answer 9!
9 Is CD ?
And is 2 BD?
9 is CD.
BD will work for 2.
\[\large \log a^n = n * log a \\ \large \log_bb^x = x * \log_bb = x * 1 = x \]
1. AE Correct?
Yes.
Do you do log in a calculator?
Cause that's throwing me off on everything.
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.
Oh okay good good, you're amazing at this. IS 11 AB?
11 is B. e = 2.71828...
I don't know what 4,5,7,10 are.. Hmm
"e" is the base for natural logarithm.
I answered 4 about 5 replies back.
Nope, you said 5 DE is incorrect.
I did not say 5 is DE.
I know, I said it. But you said it was incorrect.
Look back. 8 is DE. I have a long derivation and it is marked 8)
I see, how does that help with 5?
5 BE
4 E
Waitttt so Logb is together right?
7 AC
\[\large \log_b b^x = x * \log_b b = x * 1 = x \]
10 is x?
Yes. Also E. (E used once before).
This the first time we use the answer choice E.
4 is also E.
So I'm guessing one of them is wrong I don't think we can use more then twice.
Wouldn't 4 be BE?
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.
4 and 10 are both E.
Okay, great. Thanks for the help. I got much more problems but I bet im getting on your last nerves :P
Read your books / notes and get the fundamentals of log and exponential so you can do these problems on your own.
One question would (e^3)^2 = e^6?
