If we take it from the start. the n has to be squared when the square root at the R.H is taking away.

By the way what is mathematica I am curious to know.

#377 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-08-05 03:19:53

the 'n' at the bottom carries a square why didnt you bring it?

#379 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-05 02:45:03

Oops. Bobym.
Please I made a little blunder!

2logy-log2x=log2(y-x).

#380 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-08-05 02:31:58

Bobbym, I cant found them at the bottom of the open window. There are few that are found there.

#381 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-05 02:21:11

But Bobbym I havent envisioned that bracket of the right hand side could cause any thing, but I think;

Log2(y-x) = log2y-log2x

I think is the same as, log(2y)-log(2x)

Please help if I am confused.

#382 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-05 02:07:39

Thanks, Bobbym.

Then please let me how it should be

By the way I have developed the attitude of not putting brackets c'os the book I have doesn't put it around each example it gives. And that has become of me.

#383 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-08-05 01:53:05

No.
the k squared plus the p squared are on one platform, all over "hg". That's all,

#384 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-05 01:36:17

Errr, I dont normally put bracket around figures as you normally do.
But I suppose each of them are the same, I mean what yours above.
In #229

I had, k=(hg/n^2-p^2)

But the book has 1/n and a negative or positive sign after the "equl to sign", which is incomprehensible to me. Some help.

Please  solve it and you will definitly come across what I mean.

#386 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-05 01:02:51

it's log2(y-x)

I multiplied log2 with what is in the bracket, to have that. Why you say so.

Hi;

What comes after the k^?

"equal to sign" and after the sign, there is a "negative or positive  sign" which confound me much.

#388 Re: Help Me ! » Change your subject. » 2013-08-05 00:37:04

The  'k' squared plus the 'p' squared are on one platform, which is over the 'hg'.
And all of them are in a square root sign.

Thanks.

#389 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-04 09:56:52

I have solved it but this way:
2logy-log2x =  log2(y-x).

log(y^2/2x) = log2y-log2x. this is where I think the divison must apply to the right hand ones.
(y/2x) =(2y-2x) Taking antilogs

(y^2/2x) = 2x(2y-2x)

y^2 = 4xy-4x^2

y^2-4xy+4x^2 = 0

y^2-2xy-2xy+4x^2=0

y(y-2x)-2x(y-2x)=0

(y-2x)(y-2x)=0

(y-2x)^2.





My question is why not log2y-2x is not made to be log(2y/2x), since it has that negative sign? In order to go by the  law.
Please clear my doubt.

Thanks much.

Make k the subject.

1/n = (k^+p^2/hg)^1/2

I have k=(hg/n^2-p^2) as the answer. But the book solved beyond my final solution,  and even had negative or positive sign in it.

please help me understand why its had that final answer, and as well how it came by the negative or positive sign.

Thanks in advance.
This is its final answer;

#391 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-04 04:45:29

yes, yes, cube root instead.
But are they all right in that manner?

#392 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-04 04:36:53

Okay, then is the following correct?

For instance.

y^1/3=a. would be a^
3
y^3 = a. square root of a would then be taken.
Is the above right?

#393 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-04 04:13:25

I mean

1/3logp=1
logp^1/3=10
p =10^1/3
third root is required.
p=2.15.

I am not saying anyone is wrong but this suprise me, c'os I have applied what I am talking about for long.

#394 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-04 03:59:54

See, I am taking aback as to why the answer is 1000.
Because I have learnt that any number raised to power either 1/3, 1/2, 1/4. is demanding the third the square and the fourth root of that number. I see it that if the answer is 1000  in the  above problem  then the question should have been:

3logp=1. so that it would be,

log p^3=log10. taking antilog.

p^3 = 10
p =10^3.

p=1000


Please, anyone correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks.

#395 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-04 03:34:22

Thanks, Bobbym!
God bless.


1/3logp=1. Find the value of p.

Bobbym, how would one do this? I have tried and my answer was not the same as what the book has.

#396 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-04 03:16:20

Bobym, please could you produce the methods here, if the log3^1 were to be log1/3. What would be the answer?

Thanks.

#397 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-04 02:57:42

Anonynmstify, if I am getting you right I think youre right, but then when you work it down you would arrive on the division sign, watch:

2logy-log2x=log2(y-x).

logy^2 - log2x = log2y-2x. Now, there come a negative sign at the right equation.
I am thinking that, since there is a negative sign in both the right and the left equation, both sides must have that division sign respectively. But to my suprise only the left equation had the division sign. Still I am not clear.
Bobym let me know why +4.

#398 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-03 10:25:07

I know the book is right, but I can not figure out as to why it applied the law of division on the left equation only. I could see the right equation also has a negative sign between it and I think should be
lo2y/log2x so that it would also have a division sign as the left equation has. Then from there one can work it down.
Bobbym, why do you think the division sign was denied on the right hand equation only?
Or is only left hand equations  that must assume it? And not right hand equations?

#399 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-03 09:26:34

But that was how it exists in the book and I tried to solve.
Think the following is how it came by its answder.


Logy^2-log2x=log2y-log2x

(y^2/2x)= 2x(2y-2x).

y^2= 4xy-4x^2

y^2= 4xy-4x^2

y^-4xy+4x^2=0 I think could be factorised,

My question is,   as there became a negative sign between log2y-log2x I think should be log(2y/2x). As the law says logx-logy=(x/y).
But why only the law affected the left hand equation  only I mean (y^2/2x) and not the right hand as well?
Please assist.

#400 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2013-08-03 06:53:42

I
thanks, but please see the rest if they are right with their respective answers from the book, and my answers as well.
