Sean began jogging to live a healthier lifestyle. On his first run, he ran one-half mile. He increased his workouts by adding two miles a month to his run. He wrote the equation f(x)= 0.5 + 2x to model his progress. The variable x represents the number of miles he runs.
months he runs.
miles he ran the first day.
calories he burns.

B - months he runs

Step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

since we know that the two functions are equal, f (x) = g

(x), therefore when we equate the two equations the result should be similar to

3x = x – 4:

a. f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x – 4

equating the two functions:

3x = x – 4             (correct)

so we now got our answer (a)
