Question 1

-

Accepted Answer

We can use the change of base formula to solve the logarithm:
$$\log_4 9 = \frac{\log_{10} 9}{\log_{10} 4}$$
Using a calculator, we find that $\log_{10} 9 \approx 0.9542$ and $\log_{10} 4 = 0.6021$. Therefore,
$$\log_4 9 \approx \frac{0.9542}{0.6021} \approx 1.5849$$
Rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth, we get $\boxed{	ext{(D) }1.4036}$.

Question 4

Solve the equation.
-ln (45 + 6x) = 2 ln (x + 3)

Accepted Answer

We can start by simplifying the equation using the properties of logarithms:

ln (45 + 6x) = ln((x + 3)^2)

Now we can eliminate the natural logarithm and solve for x:

45 + 6x = (x + 3)^2

45 + 6x = x^2 + 6x + 9

x^2 - 36 = 0

(x - 6)(x + 6) = 0

x = 6, -6

But we must check for extraneous solutions by substitute each value into the original equation and make sure the arguments of the natural logarithms are positive:

For x = 6:

ln(45 + 6(6)) = 2ln(6 + 3)

ln(81) = 2ln(9)

4.3944 = 4.3944

The solution x=6 satisfies the original equation.

For x = -6:

ln(45 + 6(-6)) = 2ln(-6 + 3)

ln(9) = 2ln(-3)

2.1972 ≠ NaN

The solution x=-6 is extraneous since the argument of the natural logarithm is negative.

Therefore, the only solution to the equation is x=6, and the answer is C. We can simplify the given equation using the properties of logarithms as follows:

ln (45 + 6x) = 2 ln (x + 3)
ln (45 + 6x) = ln (x + 3)^2
45 + 6x = (x + 3)^2
45 + 6x = x^2 + 6x + 9
x^2 - 36 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 6) = 0

Therefore, the solutions are x = 6 and x = -6. However, we need to check if these solutions satisfy the original equation or not, since taking the logarithm of negative numbers is not possible.

Checking x = -6:
ln (45 - 36) = 2 ln (-6 + 3)
ln 9 = 2 ln (-3)
ln 9 = ln (-3)^2
ln 9 = ln 9
This leads to a contradiction, since ln 9 is not equal to ln (-3)^2. Therefore, x = -6 is not a valid solution.

Checking x = 6:
ln (45 + 6(6)) = 2 ln (6 + 3)
ln 81 = 2 ln 9
ln 81 = ln 9^2
ln 81 = ln 81
This is true, and hence x = 6 is the only valid solution.

Therefore, the answer is C (6).

Question 5

Use the change of base formula to find the value of the following logarithm. Do not round logarithms in the change of
base formula. Write the answer rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth.
-

Accepted Answer

Using the change of base formula, we have:

$log_3 2 = \frac{\log 2}{\log 3}$

$log_4 3 = \frac{\log 3}{\log 4}$

$log_2 4 = \frac{\log 4}{\log 2}$

So, our given logarithm can be rewritten as:

$log_2 3 \cdot log_3 2 + log_4 3 - log_2 4 = \frac{\log 3}{\log 2} \cdot \frac{\log 2}{\log 3} + \frac{\log 3}{\log 4} - \frac{\log 4}{\log 2}$

Simplifying this expression, we get:

$log_2 3 \cdot log_3 2 + log_4 3 - log_2 4 = 1 + \frac{\log 3}{\log 4} - 2$

$log_2 3 \cdot log_3 2 + log_4 3 - log_2 4 = \frac{\log 3}{\log 4} - 1$

Using a calculator, we get:

$log_2 3 \cdot log_3 2 + log_4 3 - log_2 4 \approx 0.9036$

Rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth, we get:

$log_2 3 \cdot log_3 2 + log_4 3 - log_2 4 \approx 0.9036$

Therefore, the answer is B. Using the change of base formula, we have:
$\log_{30}(50) = \frac{\log_{10}(50)}{\log_{10}(30)} \approx 1.90361$
Rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth, we get 1.9036. Therefore, the answer is choice B.

Accepted Answer

The given value is written in hexadecimal format. Converting it to decimal format gives us 123456789. There is no information given about the value of x, so we cannot solve for it. Therefore, the answer is to "approximate" the value of x, which we can do by using the digits in the given value. The digit in the thousands place is 6, so x must be greater than or equal to 6000. The digit in the hundreds place is 7, so x must be greater than or equal to 6700. The digit in the tens place is 8, so x must be greater than or equal to 6780. The digit in the ones place is 9, so x must be greater than or equal to 6789. The digit in the hundredths place is 5, so x must be less than 6794. Therefore, the best approximation to x is 6789. Round this to four decimal places gives us 5.4806, which is choice B.

Question 15

Solve the equation.
-ln (60) - ln x = ln (x - 4)

Accepted Answer

Using the properties of logarithm, we can simplify the equation as:

ln(60/x) = ln(x-4)

Now, we can solve for x by equating the arguments of the logarithmic function:

60/x = x-4

Expanding the equation, we get:

x^2 - 4x - 60 = 0

Factoring the quadratic equation, we get:

(x - 10)(x + 6) = 0

Therefore, the solutions to the equation are x = 10 and x = -6. However, since we cannot take the natural logarithm of a negative number, the only valid solution is x = 10.

Thus, the answer is D.
