HJ:) Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hey, my teacher told me to put 1/c + 1/d into a single fraction. He made it sound so easy, but when I came to doing it, I got little confused And also he told me to express log (base ab)x only in terms of logs. Can you help?? ASAP Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkSpider Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 1/c + 1/d = (c + d)/cd logab(x) = lnx/lnab At the risk of sounding a bit harsh, you should probably be at the point where this stuff comes naturally, and if not, then I'd reccomend just doing more practice questions from logs and algebra.

FAI_faiii Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 isnt it cd/(c+d)? cuz for example, log(base4)64,log(base 8)64, log(base32)64 log(base4)64=3,so c=3, log(base 8)64=2, so d=2 log(base32)64=1.2 which is log(base ab)X=1.2 if it is (c+d)/cd, the answer should be (3+2)/3*2=5/6 so i think it should be cd/(c+d), so 3*2/(3+2)=1.2 tell me if im right or wrong Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkSpider Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 1/c + 1/d = c/cd + d/cd = (c+d)/cd 1/1 + 1/1 = (1+1)/1*1 = 2, NOT 1*1/(1+1) = 1/2. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfabeta Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 [quote name='HJ:)' post='28300' date='Nov 12 2008, 07:26 PM']hy, thanks for helping out, but I asked my teacher and he said it was cd/(c+d) [/quote] Your teacher shall not tell you such things;) though you're right;) (CD)/c+d..... god damen ****in' hell you will not even dear to think of the proof for this statement:O:O Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
