Which of the following is true about the base b of a logarithmic function? a. b > 0 and b = 1
b. b > 0 and b not-equals 1
c. b < 0 and b not-equals 1
d. b < 0 and b = 1.

my dear correct answer is option number 3

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.

8 < i think

hope this !
