Evaluate log5(\( y^2x^5 ÷ 125b½) \)

A. 2 log5y + 5log5 y2 − 3

B. log5 y2 + 5log5 x + 3

C. 25logy 5 + 3

D. 2log5y + 5log5x − ½ log5b −3

Detailed Solution

\(\log_{5}(y^{2} x^{5} \div 125b^{\frac{1}{2}})\)
= \(\log_{5} y^{2} + \log_{5} x^{5} - [\log_{5} 125 + \log_{5} b^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
= \(2\log_{5} y + 5\log_{5} x - \log_{5} 5^{3} - \frac{1}{2} \log_{5} b\)
= \(2\log_{5} y + 5\log_{5} x - 3 - \frac{1}{2}\log_{5} b\)

Simplify \( \frac{1}{(x + 1)} + \frac{1}{(x − 1)} \)

A. 2x/(x + 1)(x−3)

B. 2x/(x + 1)(x−1)

C. 2x/(x + 1)2

D. 2x(x+1)2

Detailed Solution

[1 ÷ (x+1)] + [1 ÷ (x − 1)]

= ((x − 1) + [(x + 1)) ÷ (x+1)(x − 1)]

= (x − 1 + x + 1) ÷ (x + 1)(x − 1)

= (x + 2 − 1 + 1) ÷ (x + 1)(x − 1)

= 2x ÷ (x + 1)(x − 1) =2x ÷ (x + 1)(x − 1)
