Given that log a (x)=3.58 and log a (y)=4.79. find loga(y/x).
log(y/x)=log(y)-log(x)=4.79-3.58=1.21

Determine the average rate of change of the function between the given values of the variable.
f(t) = Sqrt(t); t = a, t= a+h
I came out with
f(a+h)= sqrt(a+h)
f(a)= Sqrt (a)
f(a+h)-f(a)=sqrt(a+h)-sqrt(a)
avg rate of change={f(a+h)-f(a)}/(a+h-a)={sqrt(a+h)-sqrt(a)}/h

3x-y=7.....I.......
6x-2Y=9..........II
what does these terms mean?NOW I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT
THE TERMS MEAN.THERE ARE TESTS FOR FINDING THESE
SITUATIONS.WE SHALL RESTRICT THE ANALYSIS TO YOUR
PROBLEM
WE FIND THAT ON L.H.S OF THE 2 EQNS.WE HAVE 3X-Y AND
6X-2Y WHICH ARE DIRECT MULTIPLES BY 2 .THAT IS WE GET
LHS OF EQN.2 BY MULTIPLYING THE EQN 1 WITH 2
WE GET EQN.I *2 ....6X-2Y=14
WHERE AS EQN.II SAYS 6X-2Y=9..SO IF WE TRY TO SATISFY
EQN.I ,EQN II WILL NOT BE SATISFIED AND IF WE TRY TO
SATISFY EQN II ,EQN.I WILL NOT BE SATISFIED.SO THERE
ARE NO VALUES OF X AND Y WHICH SATISFY BOTH
EQUATIONS.SO WE SAY THE GIVEN EQNS. ARE INCONSISTENT.

-2*EQN.I GIVES
-2X-10Y=-20....WHICH IS SAME AS EQN.II...
HENCE THEY ARE DEPENDENT EQUATIONS.
SO INEFFECT WE HAVE ONLY ONE EQN.TO SOLVE FOR 2
UNKOWNS.
HENCE WE SHALL HAVE INFINTE SOLUTIONS LIKE IN THIS
CASE
X=0....Y=2
X=10...Y=0...ETC..
IMPORTANT NOTE.
THEY HAVE INFINITE SOLUTIONS BUT NOT ANY AND EVERY
VALUE OF X AND Y.FOR EXAMPLE IF X=0 ,THEN Y HAS TO
EQUAL 2 ONLY NOT ANY OTHER VALUE.SO IT HAS INFINITE
SETS OF X AND Y PAIRS FOR ITS SOLUTION

A trough, in the form of an open rectangular box, is 1.85 m long, 45 cm wide and 28 cm deep externally. If the trough is made of wood 2.5 cm thick, find, in cubic centimetres, the volume of wood used.
EXTERNAL DIMENSIONS
L=1.85 M =185 CM.
B=45 CM
H=28 CM
OPEN AT TOP.
EXTERNAL VOLUME OF BOX =LBH=185*45*28=233100 CC
INTERNAL DIMENSIONS
WOOD THICKNESS=2.5 CM
L'=185-2*2.5=180 CM
B'=45-2*2.5=40 CM
H'=28-1*2.5=25.5 CM...SINCE THE BOX IS OPEN AT TOP
INTERNAL VOLUME OF BOX =L'*B'*H'=180*40*25.5=183600 CC
HENCE VOLUME OF WOOD =233100-183600=49500 CC

answer I think it is, x - 4 = y
next question
if the variable t is multiplied by 5, the result is equal to the variable r.
answer I think it is, t * 5 = r
next question
if 3 is subtracted from the product of the variables x and y the result is equal to 4 time the variable z
this one I really couldn't understand
next question
the quotient of the variable x with the variable y is 2 more than o.7 of the variable z.
this is another one I don't understand.
If there is a way to explain the answer to me and how you get the answer I would appreciate it.

Im not sure what topic it would fall under. But here is my questions
the variable x is 4 less than the variable y?
THINK THIS WAY..WHICH IS LESS OR MORE..X IS LESS..Y IS MORE..SO TO GET SMALLER NUMBER X FROM A BIGGER NUMBER Y YOU NEED TO SUBTRACT 4 FROM BIGGER NUMBER.HENCE ANSWER IS X=Y-4
answer I think it is, x - 4 = y...NO...Y-4=X
next question
if the variable t is multiplied by 5, the result is equal to the variable r.
answer I think it is, t * 5 = r...OK..GOOD
next question
if 3 is subtracted from the product of the variables x and y the result is equal to 4 time the variable z
GO STEP BY STEP
PRODUCT OF X AND Y =XY
3 IS SUBTRACTE..FROM THE PRODUCT ..SO WE GET
XY-3
4 TIMES Z =4Z
BOTH ARE SAME..SO
XY-3=4Z
this one I really couldn't understand
next question
the quotient of the variable x with the variable y is 2 more than o.7 of the variable z.
this is another one I don't understand.

SO H1 WILL BE AN ELEMENT OF H INTERSECTION K

IF IT IS THEN H1 IS AN ELEMENT OF H I.S.K...HENCE H I.S.K IS A SUB SET OF G
IF IT IS NOT THEN IT IS NOT AN ELEMENT OF H I.S.K..SO OK.
NOW THE OTHER WAY ROUND..
SINCE H THERE WILL BE AT LEAST ONE ELEMENT OF G SAY G1 WHICH IS NOT AN ELEMENT OF H.
HENCE G1 WILL NOT BE AN ELEMENT OF H I.S. K
HENCE H I.S.K IS A SUBSET OF G
SIMILARLY WE CAN ARGUE FOR K....TO SHOW H I.S.K IS A SUBSET OF G

Sequences-and-series/44597: A traveling salesman (selling shoes) stops at a farm in the Midwest. Before he could knock on the door, he noticed an old truck on fire. He rushed over and pulled a young lady out of the flaming truck. Farmer Brown came out and gratefully thanked the traveling salesman for saving his daughter’s life. Mr. Brown insisted on giving the man an award for his heroism.
So, the salesman said, “If you insist, I do not want much. Get your checkerboard and place one penny on the first square. Then place two pennies on the next square. Then place four pennies on the third square. Continue this until all 64 squares are covered with pennies.” As he’d been saving pennies for over 25 years, Mr. Brown did not consider this much of an award, but soon realized he made a miscalculation on the amount of money involved.

a)the time when Peter and John meet.
b)the distance that they will meet
PETER TRAVELS STARTING FROM P AT 12=00 PM GOING AT 20 KMPH FOR 16 KM
TIME TAKEN =16/20=0.8 HRS=0.8*60=48 MTS….THAT IS AT 12 =48
BALANCE DISTANCE TO Q =35-16=19 KM.
TIME TAKEN TO REACH =2=00 PM THAT IS 14=00 HRS
TRAVEL TIME IS 14=00 - 12 =48 =1 HR12 MTS. = 1 +12/60 HRS =6/5 HRS.
PETERS SPEED DURING THIS TRAVEL =19/(6/5)=5*19/6=95/6 KMPH
JOHN LEAVES Q AT 12=30 PM.
TILL 12=48 HE TRAVELS FOR 12=48 -12=00=18 MTS=18/60 HRS =0.3 HRS.
DISTANCE TRAVELLED BY JOHN DURING THIS PERIOD AT 26 KMPH=26*0.3=7.8 KM
HENCE DISTANCE OF SEPERATION BETWEEN PETER AND JOHN AT 12 = 48 IS (35-16)-7.8=11.2 KM
THEIR RELATIVE SPEED WHILE TRAVELLING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS =95/6 +26=(95+156)/6=251/6 KMPH
TIME TAKEN TO MEET =11.2/(251/6)=67.2/251 HRS = 16.06 MTS
HENCE PETER AND JOHN MEET AT 12=48 + 16.06 MTS..THAT IS AT 13 HRS.04 MTS.36 SEC
THE DISTANCE AT WHICH THEY MEET =16.06*95/6=4.24 KM THAT IS AT 16+4.24=18.24 KM FROM P.
