Question 478524
If (4.8)^x=(0.48)^y=1000 then what is the value of 1/x – 1/y
**
4.8^x=1000
take log of both sides
xlog4.8=log1000
.6812x=3
x=3/.681241
x=4.403726
1/x=.227080
..
.48^x=1000
take log of both sides
xlog.48=log1000
-.318759x=3
x=3/-.3188
x=-9.411506
1/x=-.106253
..
1/x-1/y=.227080-(-.106253)=.333333..
