Does (–2, –2) make the equation y = x true?

answer: the four apples you took away.

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:

b. f(x) = –√x + 3this is the correct answer
