OpenStudy (firejay5):

@matt101 please help me

OpenStudy (matt101):

Which one do you need help with?

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@matt101 I need help on the first one to help get me going, but 42 I need help on as well; 44 I said 2x, but I am not for sure if it's right?

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@perl

OpenStudy (matt101):

Alright well starting with 41, what are your steps? And for 43, -3 is correct!

OpenStudy (firejay5):

okay thank you @matt101 see I do my work.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@matt101 now I need to get to bed, due to no one helping me on here on my question before you helped me out @matt101 I don't know what the 1st step to #41 is

OpenStudy (matt101):

No problem! Shoot me a message tomorrow when you want to work through these and I'll give you a hand.

OpenStudy (perl):

ok which one would you like to work on

OpenStudy (firejay5):

#41 please quick, because I shouldn't be up past 12:00AM and it's 12:23AM

OpenStudy (perl):

$$ \Large { \log_{11} 11(n-5) } $$

OpenStudy (perl):

what are the directions

OpenStudy (firejay5):

it moves to the right 5 units

OpenStudy (perl):

$$ \large { \log_{11} 11(n-5)= \log_{11} 11 +\log_{11}(n-5) = 1 + \log_{11}(n-5) } $$

OpenStudy (firejay5):

May I ask how did you jump to that conclusion of 1 + log11 (n - 5)

OpenStudy (perl):

I used the rule Log ( A*B ) = Log(A) + Log(B)

OpenStudy (firejay5):

see I didn't even know about that.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

what's the next step

OpenStudy (perl):

i dont think we can simplify that further

OpenStudy (firejay5):

is the answer 1 + log11 (n - 5)

OpenStudy (perl):

what were the directions?

OpenStudy (firejay5):

is it up 1 unit and to the right 5 units

OpenStudy (perl):

can you upload the directions sheet.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

direction sheet for what

OpenStudy (perl):

what did you want to do with this log. What was the original question

OpenStudy (firejay5):

evaluate each expression

OpenStudy (perl):

there is no value for n given

OpenStudy (firejay5):

correct?

OpenStudy (firejay5):

so what's the evaluated expression for 41. log 11 (n - 5) + 1

OpenStudy (perl):

you can't simplify it further, and can't evaluate it either

OpenStudy (perl):

thats why i was confused by the directions

OpenStudy (firejay5):

it's just evaluate each expression

OpenStudy (firejay5):

okay I am making sure that's the answer

OpenStudy (firejay5):

is 44 2x

OpenStudy (perl):

2 + log x

OpenStudy (perl):

$$\Huge {2 + \log_4 (x)} $$

OpenStudy (firejay5):

oh well so is log4 (x) + 2 the same as what you said

OpenStudy (perl):

yes :)

OpenStudy (firejay5):

My question is how to solve #42, becauase it's a lot different than the other ones

OpenStudy (perl):

that cant be simplified further

OpenStudy (firejay5):

really are you sure @perl 6log6 (3x + 2) can't be evaluated any further

OpenStudy (zale101):

\(Log (a*b)=Log(a)+log(b)\) \(Log(a/b)=log(a)-log(b)\) \(alogb=log(b)^a\) These are the rules that you you use to evaluate any logs.

OpenStudy (zale101):

Here, you have \(6log_6(3x+2)\) There's no rule for \(log a+b\) that means that it cant be evaluated further
