1. If possible evaluate g(t)for the given values of t
\n" ); document.write( "g(t)=2t^3 - t^2 + 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you did not give any values of t so i wouldn't know how to answer question 1.
\n" ); document.write( "the procedure, however, would be the same as shown below:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "equation g(t) = 2t^3 - t^2 + 4
\n" ); document.write( "solve for t = 3
\n" ); document.write( "the equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "g(3) = 2*(3)^3 - (3)^2 + 4
\n" ); document.write( "all you're doing is replacing t with 3 in the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "the answer, in that case, would be:
\n" ); document.write( "g(3) = 2*27 - 9 + 4 which becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "g(3) = 54 - 5 which becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "g(3) = 49\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. log(2,2^6)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you are looking to find the log of 2^6 to the base of 2.
\n" ); document.write( "since, in general, log(a^b) = b*log(a), your expression becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "6 * log(2,2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to find 6 * log(2,2), you can use your calculator by converting the base of 2 to the base of 10 using the logarithm base conversion formula shown below.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 * log(2,2) = 6 * ((log(10,2) / log(10,2))\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the general formula is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "log(a,b) = log(c,b) / log(c,a)
\n" ); document.write( "a is the base you want to convert from.
\n" ); document.write( "c is the base you want to convert to.
\n" ); document.write( "b is the log value you are looking to solve for.
\n" ); document.write( "the expression of log of b to the base a is converted to:
\n" ); document.write( "log of b to the base c divided by log of a to the base c.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this allows you to use the LOG function of your calculator.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the formula becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 * log(2,2) = 6 * (LOG(2) / LOG(2)).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the answer is 6 * 1 because anything divided by itself is equal to 1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "your final answer is 6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you would want to confirm your answer to make sure it's correct.
\n" ); document.write( "the basic definition of logs states:
\n" ); document.write( "y = log(b,x) if and only if b^y = x
\n" ); document.write( "your original expression is:
\n" ); document.write( "log(2,2^6)
\n" ); document.write( "set y equal to this to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y = log(2,2^6)
\n" ); document.write( "set x equal to 2^6 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y = log(2,x)
\n" ); document.write( "set b equal to 2 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "y = log(b,x)
\n" ); document.write( "the basic definition of logarithms states that:
\n" ); document.write( "y = log(b,x) if and only if b^y = x
\n" ); document.write( "now, you know that b is equal to 2 and you know that x = 2^6, so this equation becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "2^y = 2^6
\n" ); document.write( "this equation is true if y = 6 because then you get:
\n" ); document.write( "2^6 = 2^6 which is true.
\n" ); document.write( "6 is the answer to your question.
\n" ); document.write( "log(2,2^6) = 6
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
