Can anyone fully explain tthe following textbook questions. I have studied and studied but I'm just not getting it. Thanks so much!

LOGORITHMS

X log Y = Z
log X + log Y – log Z
logz (X –Y)
logz (X + Y)
logz X + logz Y
Yx = Z
Xz = Y
YZ = X

1. Match the above expressions with:

a. log (XY/Z)
b. logz (XY)
c. logx (Y) = Z
d. log (Yx) = Z

FUNCTIONS

1. f(x) = 8x2 – 4x – 5 - match the range value for ½.

2. Match the corresponding vertical asymptotes with the equations

x = -3, x = 2
x = -2, x = 2
x = 3, x = -2
x = 0

a. x/(x^2-4)
b. 1/x
c. 5/x^2
d. (3x)/(x^2-x-6)

3. The domain of a function is restricted to x > 0. Which of the following possesses an inverse function with such a restriction on the domain?

a. f(x) = (x + 5)^2
b. f(x) = ?x
c. f(x) = ?x + 5
d. f(x) = x^2 + 5

4. f(x) = 3 – 4 What is the inverse of f? Select one
x

a. f -1(x) = -3 + 4
x
b. f -1(x) = - 4
x-3
c. f -1(x) = 3
x-4
d. f -1(x) = -4- x
3
e. f -1(x) = x -3
4

GEOMETRIC/GRAPH

a+ 1 = b + 4 1. Which statement does the given show to be true?
5 2

a >b
a<b
a<2b
b>2a
a = b

2. The graph of a linear function is represented by 3x +6y +9 = 0 Which of the following data represents the same graph?

a. Y = -2x + 3
b. Line passing through points (-1,-1), (1,-2), and (3,-3).
c. x + 2y = -3
d. Line passing through points (1,-1), (1,1), and (2,3)
e. y = - 1/2x – 3/2
f. Line passing through points (1,-1), (5,-4), and (7,-5)

3. Match the measure with the volume of each solid below
Cone M; height = h, radius of based = 6
Sphere M: radius = a
Pyramid R: area of the base = 12, height = h
Cylinder S: height = 8, radius of the base = a
Rectangular Solid T: dimensions = 6, 8, and h

a. 48h
b. (4 pi a^3)/3
c. 4h
d. 12 pi h
 
Re: logorithms and functions

Please try to get face-to-face tutoring. These excercizes involve very fundamental properties - you need to absolutely understand these.

This looks like it might be a test...we don't DO tests for you here.

Your best bet for getting help is to post ONE QUESTION per post, showing us what you have done to try to solve the problem. When we can see your work, then we can tell how best to help you.
