Solution

Let me analyze the mathematical content in the image and help solve the questions presented. Please give me a moment.Here is a detailed breakdown of the questions from the uploaded image and their solutions:


1. Simplification of Equivalent Terms (Task 8)

  • Given term: 4x7\frac{4}{x^7}
  • Options to check equivalence:
    • A: 4x74 - x^7
    • B: 1x7\frac{1}{x^7}
    • C: 4x74x^{-7}
    • D: (4x)7(4 - x)^7
    • E: 4x7\frac{4}{x^7}

Solution:

  • Start simplifying the options:
    • B:1x7B: \frac{1}{x^7} does not match because it lacks the numerator 44.
    • C:4x7C: 4x^{-7} is equivalent because x7=1x7x^{-7} = \frac{1}{x^7}, so 4x7=4x74x^{-7} = \frac{4}{x^7}.
    • E:4x7E: \frac{4}{x^7} is exactly the same as the given term.

Correct answers:

  • C (4x74x^{-7})
  • E (4x7\frac{4}{x^7})

2. Rational Exponents (Task 9)

  • Expression: x53\sqrt[3]{x^5}
  • Task: Write as a power.

Solution:

x53=x53\sqrt[3]{x^5} = x^{\frac{5}{3}}


3. Exponential Form to Logarithmic Form (Task 10)

  • Given: 34=813^4 = 81
  • Task: Write in logarithmic form.

Solution:

34=81    log381=43^4 = 81 \implies \log_3{81} = 4


4. Logarithmic Check (Task 11)

  • Given: log2.2=1.92057\log_{2.2} = 1.92057
  • Task: Show this is valid.

Verification:

2.21.9205742.2^{1.92057} \approx 4 This confirms the logarithmic value is correct.


5. Correct Logarithmic Properties (Task 12)

  • Statements to check:
    • A: logab=x    ax=b\log_a{b} = x \implies a^x = b
    • B: log55=x\log_5{\sqrt{5}} = -x
    • C: logh0=1\log_h{0} = 1
    • D: logef=ef=f\log_e{f} = e^f = f
    • E: loggg=1\log_g{g} = 1

Analysis:

  • A: True by definition of a logarithm.
  • B: Incorrect, log55=12\log_5{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{1}{2}, not x-x.
  • C: False, logh0\log_h{0} is undefined.
  • D: Incorrect interpretation; logef=x    ex=f\log_e{f} = x \implies e^x = f, not ef=fe^f = f.
  • E: True, since loggg1=1\log_g{g^1} = 1.

Correct answers:

  • A, E

6. Logarithmic Expansion (Task 13)

  • Expression: logabc\log{\frac{a}{\sqrt{b} \cdot c}}

Solution:

Using the logarithmic rules: logabc=logalog(bc)=loga(12logb+logc)\log{\frac{a}{\sqrt{b} \cdot c}} = \log{a} - \log{(\sqrt{b} \cdot c)} = \log{a} - \left(\frac{1}{2}\log{b} + \log{c}\right) =loga12logblogc= \log{a} - \frac{1}{2}\log{b} - \log{c}


7. Exponential Equation (Task 14)

  • Equation: 0.4x=30.4^x = 3
  • Task: Solve for xx and round to 4 decimals.

Solution:

Take the logarithm of both sides: log(0.4x)=log3\log{(0.4^x)} = \log{3} xlog0.4=log3x \cdot \log{0.4} = \log{3} x=log3log0.4x = \frac{\log{3}}{\log{0.4}}

Using a calculator: x=log3log0.42.7712x = \frac{\log{3}}{\log{0.4}} \approx -2.7712


Summary of Results:

  1. Task 8: C and E
  2. Task 9: x53x^{\frac{5}{3}}
  3. Task 10: log381=4\log_3{81} = 4
  4. Task 11: Verified
  5. Task 12: A, E
  6. Task 13: loga12logblogc\log{a} - \frac{1}{2}\log{b} - \log{c}
  7. Task 14: x2.7712x \approx -2.7712
