Simplify \(\frac{\log \sqrt{8}}{\log 8}\) A. 1/3 B. 1/2 C. 1/3log√2 D. 1/3log√8 E. 1/2log√2
Show Content
Detailed Solution\(\frac{\log \sqrt{8}}{\log 8}\)= \(\frac{\log 8^{\frac{1}{2}}}{log 8}\) = \(\frac{\frac{1}{2} \log 8}{\log 8}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) |

Evaluate using the logarithm table, log(0.65)2 A. 1.6258 B. 0.6272 C. 0.6258 D. 3.6258 E. 1.6272
Show Content
Detailed Solutionlog(0.65)2 = 2log(0.65) but log0.65 = 1.8129∴2 x 1.8129 = 3.6258 |

If log x = \(\bar{2}.3675\) and log y = 0.9750, what is the value of x + y? Correct to three significant figures A. 1.18 B. 1.31 C. 9.03 D. 9.44 E. 9.46
Show Content
Detailed Solutionlog x = \(\bar{2}.3675\) ; log y = 0.9750\(x = 10^{\bar{2}.3675} = 0.02331 \) \(y = 10^{0.9750} = 9.441 \) \(x + y = 9.4641 \approxeq 9.46\) |
