In mathematics, the logarithm is the inverse operation to exponentiation, just as division is the inverse of multiplication. That means the logarithm of a number is the exponent to which another fixed number, the base, must be raised to produce that number. In the most simple case the logarithm counts repeated multiplication of the same factor; e.g., since 1000 = 10 × 10 × 10 = 103, the "logarithm to base 10" of 1000 is 3. More generally, exponentiation allows any positive real number to be raised to any real power, always producing a positive result, so the logarithm can be calculated for any two positive real numbers b and x where b is not equal to 1. The logarithm of x to base b, denoted logb (x) (or logb x when no confusion is possible), is the unique real number y such that by = x. For example, log2 64 = 6, as 64 = 26.
The logarithm to base 10 (that is b = 10) is called the common logarithm and has many applications in science and engineering. The natural logarithm has the number e (≈ 2.718) as its base; its use is widespread in mathematics and physics, because of its simpler derivative. The binary logarithm uses base 2 (that is b = 2) and is commonly used in computer science.
Logarithms were introduced by John Napier in the early 17th century as a means to simplify calculations. They were rapidly adopted by navigators, scientists, engineers, and others to perform computations more easily, using slide rules and logarithm tables. Tedious multi-digit multiplication steps can be replaced by table look-ups and simpler addition because of the fact—important in its own right—that the logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms of the factors:
{\displaystyle \log _{b}(xy)=\log _{b}x+\log _{b}y,\,}provided that b, x and y are all positive and b ≠ 1. The present-day notion of logarithms comes from Leonhard Euler, who connected them to the exponential function in the 18th century.
Logarithmic scales reduce wide-ranging quantities to tiny scopes. For example, the decibel (dB) is a unit used to express log-ratios, mostly for signal power and amplitude (of which sound pressure is a common example). In chemistry, pH is a logarithmic measure for the acidity of an aqueous solution. Logarithms are commonplace in scientific formulae, and in measurements of the complexity of algorithms and of geometric objects called fractals. They help describing frequencyratios of musical intervals, appear in formulas counting prime numbers or approximating factorials, inform some models in psychophysics, and can aid in forensic accounting.
In the same way as the logarithm reverses exponentiation, the complex logarithm is the inverse function of the exponential function applied to complex numbers. The discrete logarithm is another variant; it has uses in public-key cryptography.
Final answer:
The logarithm of a number is the exponent to which a base must be raised to get that number. Common logarithms use base 10, while natural logarithms use the constant e as the base. An example of a logarithm is log10(1000) = 3, whereas a non-example is the logarithm of a negative number, which is undefined in real numbers.
Explanation:
Definition of Logarithm
The logarithm of a number is the power to which a given base must be raised to obtain that number. In the case of common logarithms, the base is 10. As an example, the common logarithm of 100 is 2, because 10 raised to the power of 2 is 100.
Facts about Logarithms
Example of a Logarithm
An example is the logarithm of the number 1000 in base 10, which is 3, because 10 to the power of 3 equals 1000.
Non-example of a Logarithm
A non-example would be stating that the logarithm of a negative number in the common logarithm system, as logarithms of negative numbers are undefined in real numbers.

For which pair of function is (g*f)(a)=|a|-2
1. f(a)=a^2-4 and g(a)= sqaureroot a
2. f(a)= 1/2a-1 and g(a)=2a-2
3. f(a)=5+a^2 and g(a) = sqaureroot (a-5)-2
4.f(a) =3 -3a and g(a)=4a-5
Answer:
The correct pair is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
[tex]f(a)=a^{2}-4 , g(a)=\sqrt{a} \\gof(a)=g(a^{2} -4)\\=\sqrt{a^{2}-4 } \neq |a|-2[/tex]
2.
[tex]f(a)=\frac{1}{2\cdot a-1}, g(a)=2\cdot a -2\\gof(a)=g(\frac{1}{2\cdot a-1} )\\=\frac{2}{2\cdot a-1}-2\\=\frac{4-2\cdot a}{2\cdot a-1}\neq|a|-2[/tex]
3.
[tex]f(a)=5+a^{2} , g(a)=\sqrt{a-5} -2\\gof(a)=g(5+a^{2} )\\=\sqrt{5+a^{2}-5 } -2\\=\sqrt{a^{2} } -2\\=|a|-2[/tex]
4.
[tex]f(a)=3-3\cdot a , g(a)=4\cdot a-5\\gof(a)=g(3-3\cdot a )\\=4(3-3\cdot a)-5\\=7-12\cdot a\neq|a|-2[/tex]
Hence, the Option 3 is correct
2. Rhianna is buying a car for $14,390. She has a $1000 trade-in allowance and will make a $1500 down payment. She will finance the rest with a 4-year auto loan at 2.6% APR.
Answer:
$261.08
Step-by-step explanation:
Worth of Car=$14,390
Trade-in allowance=$1000
Down Payment= $1500
Value of Loan=14390-(1000+1500)
=$11890
The Monthly Payment for a loan P, taken at a Monthly interest rate, r for a number of m months, is gotten using the formula:
[TeX] Monthly\:Payment=\frac{rP}{1-(1+r)^{-m}} [/TeX]
P=$11890
Monthly Interest Rate,r=0.026/12=0.002167
Number of Months, m=4*12=48 Months
[TeX] Monthly\:Payment=\frac{0.002167*11890}{1-(1+0.002167)^{-48}} [/TeX]
=$261.08
The Monthly Payment on the car loan is $261.08.

The radius r of a circle is increasing at a rate of 3 inches per minute. Find the rate of change of the area when r = 5 inches and r = 21 inches. (a) r = 5 inches
Final answer:
The rate of change of the area of a circle with a radius increasing at a constant rate can be calculated using the derivative of the area formula. For r = 5 inches, the rate is 30π square inches per minute and for r = 21 inches, the rate is 126π square inches per minute.
Explanation:
The student is asking about the rate of change of the area of a circle when its radius is increasing at a constant rate. This is a calculus problem that involves derivatives and can be solved using the formula for the area of a circle, A = πr² where A is the area and r is the radius. The rate of change of the radius, ℓr/ℓt, is given as 3 inches per minute.
To find the rate of change of the area, denoted as ℓA/ℓt, we take the derivative of A with respect to t, using the chain rule, which gives us ℓA/ℓt = 2πr(ℓr/ℓt). When r = 5 inches, substituting the values, we obtain ℓA/ℓt = 2π(5)(3) = 30π square inches per minute. Similarly, when r = 21 inches, ℓA/ℓt = 2π(21)(3) = 126π square inches per minute.

Sue can sew a precut dress in 3 hours. helen can sew the same dress in 2 hours. if they work together, how long will it take them to complete sewing that dress? round to one decimal place.
Final answer:
Sue and Helen can sew a dress in 1.2 hours when working together.
Explanation:
Calculating Time to Sew a Dress Together
Sue and Helen are working together to sew a dress and we need to calculate the total time it will take them to complete the sewing when working simultaneously. Sue can sew a precut dress in 3 hours, which means Sue's rate is 1 dress per 3 hours, or
1/3 dress per hour. Helen can sew the same dress in 2 hours, which means Helen's rate is 1 dress per 2 hours, or
1/2 dress per hour. Working together, their combined rate is the sum of their individual rates:
Total rate = 1/3 + 1/2
This results in a combined rate of 5/6 dresses per hour when we find a common denominator and add the fractions. To find the time it takes them to sew one dress together, we take the reciprocal of their combined rate:
Time = 1 / (5/6) hours
This simplifies to 6/5 hours.
Therefore, Sue and Helen will take 1.2 hours to complete the dress when working together.

The Truth About Antibacterial Soap
According to Discovery Fit & Health, about 75 percent of liquid soaps claim to be antibacterial. While this kind of soap sounds like a good idea, it is really not more effective than regular soap. Soap in general works by binding with dirt and grime and bacteria. This binding action allows the particles to be washed away easily. Antibacterial soap really does no more than regular soap. In fact, to be more effective than regular soap, antibacterial soap should stay on your skin for about two minutes to do what it claims it can do. Most people do not wash their hands that long. In addition, antibacterial soap may do harm. First it kills both beneficial and harmful bacteria. Second, scientists believe bacteria may become resistant to antibacterial agents over time, especially if they are not used correctly. Finally, antibacterial soap does nothing to viruses. Most of the time, we get sick from viruses, not bacteria. In sum, antibacterial soap does not live up to the hype. You are better off just using regular soap.

Express 1.21212121.... as a fraction
To solve such questions we will have to observe the fact that this is a repeating decimal number with the repeating figures being 2 and 1 as 21.
Thus, we can represent 1.21212121... as [tex] 1.\overline{21} [/tex]
Let us represent the original number 1.21212121... by the letter "a". Thus,
a=1.21212121...=[tex] 1.\overline{21} [/tex]
Therefore,[tex] a=1.\overline{21} [/tex]..................(equation 1)
Let us now multiply (equation 1) by 100 to get:
[tex] 100a=100\times 1.212121...=121.\overline{21} [/tex].....(equation 2)
Now, when we subtract (equation 2) from (equation 1), we will get:
[tex] 100a-a=121.\overline{21}-1.\overline{21} [/tex]
[tex] 99a=120 [/tex]
[tex] \therefore a=\frac{120}{99} [/tex]
Thus the given number 1.21212121... can be represented as a fraction as [tex] \frac{120}{9} [/tex].

b.y- 7< 2x - 6
c.y -6< 2x - 7
d.y + 7< 2x -6
the apex answer to it D. y – 7 < 2x – 6
Answer: The correct option is (B) [tex]y-7<2x-6.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to select the inequalities that has the point (0, 0) as a solution.
Option (A):
The given inequality is
[tex]y+7<2x+6.[/tex]
At the point (0, 0), we have
[tex]L.H.S.=y+7=0+7=7,\\\\R.H.S.=2x+6=2\times0+6=6.[/tex]
Since 7 > 6, so the point (0, 0) is not a solution to this inequality.
This option is NOT correct.
Option (B):
The given inequality is
[tex]y-7<2x-6.[/tex]
At the point (0, 0), we have
[tex]L.H.S.=y-7=0-7=-7,\\\\R.H.S.=2x-6=2\times0-6=-6.[/tex]
Since -7 < - 6, so the point (0, 0) is a solution to this inequality.
This option is correct.
Option (C):
The given inequality is
[tex]y-6<2x-7.[/tex]
At the point (0, 0), we have
[tex]L.H.S.=y-6=0-6=-6,\\\\R.H.S.=2x-7=2\times0-7=-7.[/tex]
Since -6 > - 7, so the point (0, 0) is not a solution to this inequality.
This option is NOT correct.
Option (D):
The given inequality is
[tex]y+7<2x-6.[/tex]
At the point (0, 0), we have
[tex]L.H.S.=y+7=0+7=7,\\\\R.H.S.=2x-6=2\times0-6=-6.[/tex]
Since 7 > - 6, so the point (0, 0) is not a solution to this inequality.
This option is NOT correct.
Thus, the point (0, 0) is a solution to the inequality [tex]y-7<2x-6.[/tex]

B.-7.4
C.0
D.1
Final answer:
Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1, so the simplified form of (-7.4)⁰ is 1 that is option D is correct.
Explanation:
The simplified form of (-7.4)⁰ is determined by one of the fundamental rules of exponents, which states that any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. This means that regardless of what the base number is, as long as it is not zero, if the exponent is 0, the result will always be 1. It is important to note that 0^0 is an indeterminate form and is not covered by this rule. Therefore, the simplified form of (-7.4)⁰ is:
