The log of a quotient is the log of the numerator divided by the log of the denominator?
Not quite. The log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y) In words, this reads "The log of a quotient is the difference of the log of the numerator and the log of the denominator."
If log a equals x and log b equals y what is log?
"Log" is not a normal variable, it stands for the logarithm function.log (a.b)=log a+log blog(a/b)=log a-log blog (a)^n= n log a
Log x - log 6 equals log 15?
log(x) - log(6) = log(15)Add log(6) to each side:log(x) = log(15) + log(6) = log(15 times 6)x = 15 times 6x = 90
Is log 5 equivalent to log 5-log 20?
No. log 20 is a positive number , so it you subtract it from log 5 you get less than log 5. However, log10 5 = 1 - log102 = 2- log1020 . or log 5 - log 20 = log 5 - log 4*5 = log 5 - (log 5 + log 4) = log 5 - log 5 - log 4 = - log 4 But we do not need to do all of these computations, because log 5 is different from log 5 - log 20 by the law of the equality that says two equals remain equal if and only if we subtract (in our case) the same thing from them.
How do you solve for a power in a math problem?
You have to use logarithms (logs).Here are a few handy tools:If [ C = D ], then [ log(C) = log(D) ]log(AB) = log(A) + log(B)log(A/B) = log(A) - log(B)log(Np) = p times log(N)
How is a log able to float in a river?
It is lighter than water.
What happends to a log if the density of water is decreased?
A log? As in a log that came from a tree, right? If the density of water was decreased enough, such that it is now lower than a log's density, then the log would no longer float, but sink.
Can you tell why large log of wood floats on water but steel needle sinks?
Actually, the steel needle can float on water as well, so long as the surface tension is not broken. Answering the question, the buoyancy (ratio of density to that of displaced water) causes the log to float.
Why a large log of wood float on water but a steel needle sink?
The water extracted by the wood log while floating is of equal weight of the wood or more. For this reason, the log of wood floats while a steel needle sinks.
Why does a log of wood sink in water?
Doesn't always, depends on amount of air inside, if it is less dense than water, it will float.
Why does a log float in water?
A log will float in water because a log is less dense than water. If you take any number of objects/substances that don't mix immidiately (ex: water, molasses, oil, ice, a cork and/or a rock) and put them in a container together the items will settle into layers by density (salad dressing does this too). The bottom layer will be the most dense and the top will be the least. You can actually do this experiment yourself with a clear drinking glass as the container. Interesting factiod: Not all wood floats in water. There are a few types of wood (Ebony, Lignum Vitae) that are denser than water and therefore do not float.
Does balsa wood float in water?
While there are a lot of varieties of pine wood, all of the ones I've seen are less dense than water (they will float).
How does the log flume work?
The log flume is just a little engineered "river" to float the logs down an incline in. The flumes were mostly built of wood, and they extended for miles. There were some people who rode the logs along these flumes! A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the log flume, and there is a nice pic from back in the day.
How do you beat Red Hot Log Rolling in Super Mario 64?
You have to be Mario. then get a flower power. and float by pressing b and float over the cage and on the arrows and follow the arrows and you will see the star. jump to the star. PS press r to stop floating. pss thanks for talking to mason bros.
How do you go underwater to get the lobster trap on Big Nate island?
Find the old photo that is blowing in the air by the Puffin Point lighthouse. Take it to the "Say Cheese" photo shop and you can get scuba gear.
Do clothes float or sink?
it will float as long as it is not fully covered water.
What is the answer to log x6?
log(x6) = log(x) + log(6) = 0.7782*log(x) log(x6) = 6*log(x)
