Question 1069444: (log3 (6))/3 + (log3 (11))/3 + (log3 (5))/3
I am supposed to condense, but we never talked about working with an expression "all over" another number. Is it the same as 1/3 (log3 6) + 1/3 (log3 11) + 1/3 (log3 5)?
When this assignment was introduced, we had not talked about changing log bases or anything like that, but is that involved?
Thank you!

3.Det. Robert Goren is investigating a homicide, and the medical examiner tells him that when he arrived at 6:00 p.m., the body had a temperature of 95.3 degrees Fahrenheit. By the time Nichols had arrived an hour later (at 7:00), he checks again and determines the temperature to be 94.9 degrees. The ambient air temperature is 90 degrees. Use the equation 𝑇(𝑡) = 𝑎𝑒^(−𝑘𝑡) + 90 to determine when the victim was killed. (The normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees. Round k to 3 decimal places and find the time of death to the nearest minute.
For number 1, I got -20/9, but it can't be negative so I'm confused. Thank you for answering!
