Example Question #2411 : Sat Mathematics

$\log 3=a$

and

$\log 5=b$

Find $\log 15$

Possible Answers:

a+b

$b^{2}$

$a^{2}$

Correct answer:

a+b

Explanation:

$\log 15=\log (5\cdot 3)=\log 5+\log 3$

Hence the correct answer is a+b .

Example Question #2412 : Sat Mathematics

Solve for .

$\log (x+3)+\log x=1$

Possible Answers:

$-5\ or\ 2$

$5\ or\ -2$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Use the rules of logarithms to combine terms.

$\log (x(x+3))=1$

Hence, $x(x+3)=10^{1}$

$x^{2}+3x=10$

x^2+3x-10=0

By fatoring we get (x+5)(x-2)=0

Hence $x=-5\ or\ 2$ .

However, you cannot take the logarithm of a negative number. Thus, the only value for is .

Example Question #2414 : Sat Mathematics

$Simplify: \frac{\sqrt[3]{81}}{\sqrt[3]{3}}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{81}{3}= 27$

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{81}}{\sqrt[3]{3}} = \frac{3}{1}= 3$

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{9\star 9}}{\sqrt[3]{9}}= \sqrt[3]{9}$

$\sqrt[3]{81\star 3}= \sqrt[3]{243} = 6.24$

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{81}{3}}= \sqrt[3]{27}= 3$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{81}{3}}= \sqrt[3]{27}= 3$

Explanation:

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{81}}{\sqrt[3]{3}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{81}{3}}= \sqrt[3]{27}= 3$

Example Question #2415 : Sat Mathematics

Rationalize the denominator:

$\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{3}}$

Possible Answers:

$2+\sqrt{3}$

$2-\sqrt{3}$

$\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{7}$

$\sqrt{3}$

Correct answer:

$2+\sqrt{3}$

Explanation:

The conjugate of $2-\sqrt{3}$ is $2+\sqrt{3}$ .

Now multiply both the numerator and the denominator by $2+\sqrt{3}$

and you get:

$\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}\left ({2-\sqrt{3}} \right )\left ( 2+\sqrt{3} \right )$

$\left ( 2-\sqrt{3} \right )\left ( 2+\sqrt{3} \right ) =2^{2}-\left ( \sqrt{3} \right )^{2} =4-3 = 1$

Hence we get

$\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{1} = 2+\sqrt{3}$

Example Question #2416 : Sat Mathematics

Solve for :

$3^{x-5} = \frac{1}{27}$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

$3^{x-5}=\frac{1}{27}=3^{-3}$

x-5=-3

x=2
