Algebra.Com's Answer #670546 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! i. Find an expression for y in terms of x, if \n" ); document.write( "log 4 + log(x – 1) = 3log y \n" ); document.write( "log(4(x-1)) = 3log(y) \n" ); document.write( "log(y) = log(4x-4)/3 \n" ); document.write( "y = 10^((4x-4)/3) \n" ); document.write( "============================= \n" ); document.write( " ii. Solve the system of equations \n" ); document.write( " log 4 + log(x – 1) = 3log y \n" ); document.write( " 2y – x = 3 \n" ); document.write( "Sub for y \n" ); document.write( "2*10^((4x-4)/3) – x = 3 \n" ); document.write( "-- No algebraic solution. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( " iii. Solve for x, log2(2x – 1) = 8 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "2x-1 = 2^8 = 256 \n" ); document.write( "2x = 257 \n" ); document.write( "x = 257/2 \n" ); document.write( "============= \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
