Pls help pls pls ): precalc

is not the same as

The base of the log is p, while the base of the exponential is b. The two don't match. If it said then it would be a valid statement since the bases are both p.

-----------------

Extra info:

Choice B is a valid statement because Ln is a natural log with base 'e'

Choice C is valid as any square root is really something to the 1/2 power

Choice D is valid for similar reasons mentioned earlier

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A is incorrect. The definition of logarithms is that if , then .

The variables are in the wrong place. The correct answer should be:

B is correct since as . Thus,

C is correct because the square root of anything is simply that thing to the one-half power.

D is also correct as this is the definition of a logarithm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1   Given   0 times 2 = 0

Step 2 (-4+4)2=0

Step 3 Use The Distributive property

Step 5  Subtract 8 from both sides

Step 6      -4 times 2 = -8
